Lushes in the Orchestra Pit

You may be surprised to discover the contemporary kerfuffle over a long overdue rejection of excessive, habitual vibrato in orchestral music.

It was not until the early 20th century that the "bleating of a goat" became a somewhat unthinking habit of orchestras, and the movement to reject it is growing.

Which is convenient for me as I make my way through learning the fiddle. Saves a step.

PS. Please note the revival of the ukelele.
