Well, I certainly intend no disrespect to Mike's station in life with Cincinatti. Igor may well have talked about "visual impact" as mentioned, but how relevant is that to this particular passage and this particular performance tip on this particular piece of music? Frankly I do not consider emphasising "putting on a show", when inserting a mute in a tuba during a quiet passage of music being performed by a straight wind ensemble, in any way befitting the piece. Smacks of clownsmanship more than professionalism, and I wonder if The Cincinatti tubist you mentioned was simply speaking "tongue-in-cheek"? If so, I guess I didn't "get it"...

f.w.i.w.
