[Dixielandjazz] An outstanding tuba solo

[Bill Gunter]

Hi Russ and all,

I'm not sure I totally agree with your definition of "obligato" . . . 
"Obligato is the general background movement of the clarinet during full 
ensemble or backing up other instruments."

My music dictionary defines 'obbligato' as "a part which cannot be omitted, 
being indispensably necessary to a proper performance . . ." - sort of an 
"obligatory" part, I would imagine.

However, some others may chime in with a comment or two along the way to 
either support or attack my position.

Respectfully submitted,

Bill "picky picky picky" Gunter
