And indeed, what you write, unfortunately, amounts to just a contribution to that lot of opinion.

What we need, I think, is a contribution to the discussion of how vibrato may be useful for something -- or, possibly, not useful for something -- and how we might use whatever realisations we have about that to inform our playing in general.

(Compare a discussion for and against the use of another expressive tool, like 'rhyme' in verse, for example.)

The characterisation of vibrato as that sort of thing -- namely as a tool -- is the most important general statement we can make about it. To make that characterisation means that it's as silly to complain in general about someone's use of it as it is to complain about someone's non-use of it.

Because, as in the use of any tool, what counts is what it does in context, and what it fails to do in context.

So we have to judge every case on its own merits.

Tony
