-- "Quote:

"Anyway," he says, "there is no one tone. There are tones. There is a Mozart tone, which is different from a Wagner tone. The Beethoven tone is the hardest of all."

He talks about the French school of oboe playing: penetrating, nasal. The German: pretty limited; accurate but square. The Italian: singing quality but musically a bit naive. The English: jaunty, expressive, with a tone tending to be a little wide and glassy. The Russian: don't even talk about it." --

Oh for heavens sake! This reminds me of a comedy show where they showed that as long as you pretend to be awfully well known and an expert, you can say just about anything and immediately have hordes of people nodding and agreeing with you.

Italians play with a singing quality? You should meet my teacher! ;-)
But definitely not naive!
