 Re: I don't understand "warm," "dark," "covered," et al

So, any or all of these words (and others) can be useful, to the extent that descriptions of such things are useful at all, within a limited group of teachers, players and students who develop a common understanding of their meanings through shared experience. We in Philadelphia in the '60s and '70s had a fairly well-accepted understanding of what "bright" and "dark," "focused" and "spread" meant within our local clarinet community. Most of us were or had been students of Bonade himself or one of his students. Gigliotti was active and influential as the principal clarinetist of the Philadelphia Orchestra, and the rest of the orchestra's clarinet section, once Leon Lester retired, were Gigliotti's students. But outside the local Philly area and clique, I discovered quickly that the words became mostly useless.

I think it's interesting in a way that Vandoren's explanation of "covered" gives it so negative a connotation. I had never heard "covered" used that way, either.
