Subj: Re: [kl] Harold Wright's Vibrato??
Date: Tue, 16 Dec 2003 19:35:26 -0500

I don't know how Harold uses his vibrato, but for myself, I like to use
kinda mix of lip and diaphragm. My vibrato mimics the vibrato of how a
cellist would do their vibrato: starting wide and slow and gradually
speeding it up and getting a little closer. As I have been told many times
before, vibrato is taboo on clarinet blah blah blah. I would have to agree
that is taboo on such pieces that are written in the time period of say
classical music such as Mozart, but on pieces in the romantic time period
and beyond I like to use it as a means of getting more expression and
emotion out of pieces while still using it sparingly. In the end I guess it
is all in how you feel the music should be interpreted and how vibrato adds
to that interpretation. Hope this was inciteful.
