I think we can agree that playing is necessarily expressive to some degree -- unless we are playing senza espressione to create a deliberate effect -- and expression almost always involves a variation of sound quality. Vibrato is of course one source of such variation.

There are other ways of playing with expression, however, which use different sorts of variation: for example, variation of sound quality on longer timescales than that of vibrato. Here is a brief post to that effect:

However, sometimes people want to go further, and argue that vibrato is necessary if you want to play the clarinet well; for example, Jonathan Cohler in:

http://www.woodwind.org/clarinet/Study/Vibrato.html

Well, I don't agree that vibrato is necessary on the clarinet, even though I do sometimes use vibrato myself; and I find many of the arguments used in this article to be deficient.

For anyone interested -- including Mr Cohler -- I posted a detailed response on the Klarinet list in:
