Fellow composer and conductor Karl King noted Sousa's performance style in a 1946 letter to a colleague. King wrote, Even in his marches, Sousa pulled some strains down to a whisper which always made the last strain sound that much better by contrast. Also, Sousa had a few little tricks on pianissimos that I observed and I always wondered why other leaders who heard him didn't get 'hep' to how he did it but apparently they didn't.
