The stage is set for a great dissertation....

The difference in what we (collectively) are talking about isn't clear to
me.

Are we talking about producing the "pure" sound, associated with a sustained
tone and then linking it to a "national" way of playing...or is it that we
listen to the "way a player sounds" when performing (a lot more complex) and
then can identify cultural things (as in language) that have effect on the
way a particular player "sounds"? (and then link that players "way" with a
"school" of performance...and then too casually use the words "sounds like")

I see people going back and forth between the two ideas.
