Thanks Ed, that is the best overall advice on the subject, sound like yourself.



I did want to put a fine point on the different approaches to music though. It is still pretty apparent when you listen to "sound" writ large. The best example (and easiest to appreciate) would be listening to a Johann Strauss Jr. waltz played by the Vienna Philharmonic vs any American ensemble. There are so many different elements that are played in a certain "style" that you can pick out the Vienna Philharmonic blind-folded with both hands tied behind your back.


I firmly believe that all that can be heard in how individual Europeans approach a musical offering, with the "style," "story," whatever you want to call it, being the most important factor.


Many years ago when I was buying my Wurlitzers, my German/Canadian friend said to me, "You'll never sound German. You don't crease the fronts of you blue jeans." He meant that it is the complete approach to life in general as well as music specifically that makes the "sound" different.



Yes, there is greater and greater homogeneity amongst orchestras (and individual players) from across the world, but the different tendencies are still there.
