One more thought: breathing while playing is a lot like breathing when speaking. You don't even think about when to breath in a spoken conversation. And when you read aloud, the commas and periods are breathing clues you also don't think much about, because they define the natural pauses in the context of the words.

Musical phrases are very like the patterns of speech, and when we play the phrasing in a conversational manner, the breathing pattern won't be noticed by the listener - or by you, unless it requires a special effort to get through the passage.

Think of your music as being composed of questions and answers. The musical equivalent of a paragraph is called a period, and a period is (usually) made of an antecedent phrase (question) and a consequent phrase (answer), or sometimes two consequent phrases (answer/answer or contemplation/answer).

As you practice, ask yourself where these groupings occur and breath normally there, just as you would in a spoken conversation.
