In an intimate setting, I wouldn't use a bright tone if the music is meant to be pretty; instead, I would choose a tone that fits the context of the performance.

If the music is supposed to be prettier, I would probably use a tone that is captivating enough, but that depends on the musical content implying that it should be pretty.

My tone has to be brighter because it needs to deliver a musical point across to the back of a hall, especially in larger spaces where warmer tones don't travel well.

The choice of tone is not the same every time; it varies based on the circumstances of the performance and the clarity needed for the musical narrative.

Every classical guitarist has a different tone; many prefer a round and dark tone, while I choose a very direct and bright tone to ensure everyone in the hall can hear the music clearly.

I brighten the tone to enhance expressiveness and clarity, allowing the notes to be more easily inflected and understood.

The tones I use are not just one; they are a sum of several levels of decisions I have to make depending on the context of the performance.

Different dynamics, such as playing loudly versus softly, can significantly alter the emotional impact of a piece, making it feel more temperamental or calming.

Using various tone colors and techniques, like vibrato and glissando, can help express different characters in music, such as a caring or worried mother.
