Dear All:
I'm told by a professional recording engineer that people who play
quiet instruments sometimes train themselves always to breathe through
the mouth during recording sessions. Breathing through the nose makes a
lot more noise, while even, controlled breathing through the mouth can
be virtually inaudible.
I recall watching one well-known player at the recent LSA seminar in
Cleveland and noting that his mouth was always open during his recital.
He's done a lot of recording, so that makes sense. It's become a habit.
Cheers,
Jim
