Wait wait. Are you saying that you think Brandwein was doing a breath 
vibrato? It's both distinct and used only on that note when clearly there are 
other 
notes available lengthwise that one can use breath vibrato. Maybe I'm reading 
this backwards from what you're saying. 
Let's keep going on this :-)

I rather think of any kind of finger vibrato as using an old technique rather 
than developing a new. It was around for a very long time, be it microtonal 
as in for messe de voce or more noticable as in vibrati.   Not all that sure 
that various treatises were actually making that difference in explanation 
anyway; have to read more...
