Texas All-State Music, Need help thanks.

Hello Everybody! I am attaching the F minor piece with my suggested breath marks. I believe they are musical. Please let me know if you agree. Thanks!

Ah ha - the dreaded page 32 from the Voxman (Rubank) Selected Studies book.

You should rethink your breath marks keeping in mind that the exercise is based on a 4 measure theme. Try to find appropriate places for breathing every 4 measures (or in some cases 2 measures) depending upon the tempo chosen.

Ex -Put a ritard at the end of measure 18 and take the breath before starting measure 19, not after the first note in measure 19 since it would disrupt the phrasing.

Hi GBK!

I like the idea for the ritard at the end of 18, but then at measure 20 would you do the same? I don't think that fits well with the trill. I think there is no great breath opportunity measure 21- 24. Your opinion is greatly appreciated!
