Vibrato

Vibrato cycles are influenced by the style period, genre of the composition, individual composer, timber and texture.  A good piece of advice:  when playing in an orchestra, watch the concert master and imitate his vibrato speed. 

 

Also:  there are two kinds of vibrato:  tutti and solo.  If you are playing with a section and you are playing the same music, tone the vibrato down.  It you are a soloist, then you can let it out more.
