Could one of you explain a bit further what the "lip-up technique" is ??

"John Graulty has clarified that the technique and "school"of Mimart ought to be considered. Mimart, played and Debussy heard this work with the lip-up technique, which yields a softer, more refined sound in John Graulty's view. As you know, that concerns surrounding the mouthpiece by both lips turned in."

thank you

My first impression was that it means "reed on top," but that would be "reed up" rather than "lip up." The following phrase, "both lips turned in," clearly refers to double lip embouchure. This is reinforced by the fact that he wrote his dissertation on the use of double lip. http://app.cul.columbia.edu:8080/ac/handle/10022/AC:P:16191

Googling "John Graulty" shows that he was at Goshen College but is now at Merced College. http://www.mccd.edu/academics/divisions/social_science/facstaff/graulty.htm. A query to him would get a definitive answer.
