Hi all,

Russ and I seem to be in a discussion as to the meaning of the term 
"obbligato."

Russ maintains . . . "term "Obligato" has taken on a kind of specialized 
meaning in this
>discussion e-mail group and has been assigned the general meaning of the
>clarinet going up and down the horn doing harmonic "color" behind the 
>soloist
>or during the ensemble chorus.

When did we do that (define the term generally as clarinet "color" behind 
the soloist)?

Respectfully submitted,

Bill "picky picky" Gunter
