THE NATURE OF GOOD VIBRATO

The characteristics of a good vibrato should be understood before the mechanics of its study are pursued. There should be a flexibility of tone without an overemphasis of the pulsating quality. A fine musician once said to me: “Vibrato is like the salt in your potatoes. If there is none, the taste is flat, but if you can taste the salt, there is too much.” The vibrato should have an even rate, without being so wide that it becomes monotonous. A variation in rate and extent is desirable. This should be determined by the type of music played and by the emotional quality of a particular phrase. It should be an honest, sincere utterance based on a sensitive control of all the instrumental, musical, and artistic knowledge of the performer.
