I've been reading about orchestration, and have a very basic question on string instruments. Is it assumed that the strings should play vibrato unless the following? -It's otherwise specified e.g. non vibrato -It's an inconvenient note (duration is too small) -The mood implies that vibrato is not needed.

BRAAAAAAAINS posted:It depends on the style of music too, baroque music generally calls for less vibrato than music from the romantic era. I think one can say that the string section will use vibrato if they deem it would fit that particular passage. Other than that I guess it's decided between the conductor and the concert master. Thanks. So it's essentially down to the performer's interpretation then I guess, but conventionally for a phrase that doesn't meet the criteria mentioned above, they'd likely use it.
