That's the trumpet. And, do you think that I am untechnical in what I write about the embouchure?

???

Obviously, the quality of ANYTHING can be judged according to different criteria. The clarinet embouchure and the trumpet embouchure are completely different, but it would obviously be possible to judge a specimen of either of them (a) according to musical criteria, and (b) according to medical criteria.

All I'm going on about is that you need to be much more subtle about judgements according to musical criteria than words like 'developed', or 'efficient', suggest. And people here further say things like, "Your embouchure should never change," which as a general statement is totally untrue.

You seem to imply by your scare-story that minimal effort is medically desirable, and then deduce from that that it's MUSICALLY desirable. But both minimal effort and maximum strength of muscle (as in the original post) are crude concepts to invoke in the context of discussion of the subtleties of embouchure.

The French style reed/mouthpiece/embouchure system involves larger forces than the German style. That doesn't make it WRONG. It all depends on what you want, musically.
