Re: Vibrato

I agree that when playing in an ensemble with other trumpets, especially if more than one other trumpet is playing your same part, abstain from ANY vibrato. If you are playing a solo while in an ensemble do as the conductor demands. If you are playing a strictly solo number, it is YOUR solo. use whatever embellishments that you find to be musically pleasing to YOU. In this case, YOU are the one being judged by the audience. I guess that the bottom line is that as a musician you are REQUIRED to please the audience first and foremost. Do what THEY will surely enjoy.
