Why the question mark by vibrato? I think vibrato plays a role in phrasing as well. Some players incorporate it as a fundamental component of the sound, others employ it more to move a phrase along. Vibrato seems to live in both worlds.
I invite all comments/criticisms.
"Note Shape" refers to the degree of attack at the front of a note as well as the kind taper at the end of a note.
