What does tutti indicate?

Explanation:
Tutti means all together. It signals that the entire ensemble should join in and play the passage, after a section may have been performed by a soloist or a smaller group. It’s used to return to full texture and sound. So it’s not about tempo, and it’s not indicating one instrument—it's the opposite of a solo or small-group feature. In practice, you’d see a section labeled tutti when the full wind section, or all players on a staff, join back in.
