Same thing but this time, take a very deep breath and let your arms rise up as you breathe in.
Galamian used a solid "gutsy" sound that projected well in a large hall.
The vibrato does not basically change the original music, but rather it adds color to the music in a way that is similar to the addition of maquillage (makeup) to a face...not changing the essentials but heightening the effect.
