 Re: what to do about loud trumpets

In theory, a professional will perform better than an amateur in this respect, because they have better skill in soft playing, are happy to demonstrate that skill to their peers, and need to physically conserve themselves for the many hours of playing. Top amateurs are similar, but many amateurs have none of these characteristics, which is why, on average, I suspect that the problem is more one of amateur groups than current professional groups.

In the 70s and early 80s, the London Symphony Orchestra wanted to play rather like amplified rock music, and Howard Snell and William Lang played their trumpets pretty loud indeed. Then again, Brymer played loud on clarinet, and Anthony Camden played very loud oboe. But more recently, the hushed delicacy epitomised by Andrew Marriner became more characteristic of the LSO, which used very soft dynamics to create the contrast required between loud and soft. Meanwhile, all opera pit performers are highly skilled in soft playing. But one cannot expect most amateurs to achieve the same.
