. . . vibrato was "INDISPENSABLE" (my caps of course!) in violin playing. ;-) (This is a line which Paul Henry Lang, who might be classified as a "proto-HIP" academician, always used to quote.)
My own feeling is that there was not one, single style of string playing during the Baroque and later 18th-century eras, but rather many styles co-existing at the same time. This would explain Leopold Mozart's statement which you quote. Maybe Ms. Faust should record some of Leopold Mozart's music? ;-)
