What is the historic reason for clarinets not using vibrato in classical music? the oboe, English horn,, flute, soprano sax and trumpets all use vibrato, so I was just wondering why the clarinet is the only instrument left without any vibrato, it always stops me using the clarinet for expressive solo's. (The Oboe D'Amore works hard for me).
I appreciate it is not a failing of the VSL library, as VSL is essentially a classical library, and so see the reasons for not capturing the clarinet with vibrarto, but it would be interesting to know the historic reason for this lack of vibrato in classical music..
