Check my latest post on the GBK's orig thread. You may find the explanation useful. Apols if it seems elementary... it was meant to be.

Add in being apprehensive about being hypoxic, then we're in trouble.

It may not suit you, but I mark all my solo parts with rigourous breath marks..... eg in's and out's, and relative depths. I experiment with alterations to each, so that breathing is both phrase-sensitive and physically as undemanding as possible. The end result is intended to be one where a musical performance has been executed AND I'm still standing without fatigue. Once familiar with the piece, the prescribed breathing is mostly executed on "autopilot" without getting in the way of a nice interpretation.

BobT..............and another thought........why do you always feel better after a deep sigh..........well you've just rid yourself of a small accumulation of toxicant Co2.
