Yeah, Emma. Such an ugly sound.

No one has stopped. They still use vibrato. You need to listen just a little more closely. Just because one doesn't use it a lot doesn't mean one don't use any. I'm begining to think you're an absolutist or deaf or both. Just kidding, of course. Does one use no vibrato as an expressive device or does one use vibrato as an expressive device? Or, is it vibrato all or most of the time? Unconfuse me.

Must we have heart-on-sleeve all the time or can we have different styles to fit different music?

IMHO, vibrato is an expressive device which can be used appropriately depending on the style and period of the music.

As a piano player with no vibrato, how do you feel about that?

A former concertmaster of the Houston Symphony once said, derogatorily, in response to the early music movement, "It's all music".

That sure makes it easier to play.

BTW, I read some of your posts because I get the impression that you're a real good piano player and I respect that. I try not to read the stuff about HIP style and how you hate it. Sorry, I fell off the wagon.

Clarinet players must drive you crazy.

Cheers.
