Why would "sounding too much like a first trumpet player" be a problem? After all, it's the ensembles with the talented, aggressive, determined, and responsible players (read: "lead-capable") all the way through the 3rd and 4th parts that sound the best as a full group. Anything else sounds hollow.

I've heard too many orchestral recordings (and one distasteful band recording) that have a 1st trumpet screaming through from the back of the hall, and the other trumpet parts weren't audible. They might as well have been playing Game Boy. What's the deal?

Puzzled,
Leland
