Many times at the piano I am disturbed by the fact that I hum or make strange noises, or I move in a rocking motion and I don't know how to breathe well. Can some guidelines be drawn?
I await your opinions.

Breathing should follow the natural breathing of singing. In phrasing, there are moments when one must breathe, just as when playing on the instrument. Regarding quirks and strange things, everyone has their own. The exception, if we want, could be Horowitz, who would sit at the piano and play as if he were doing his "homework"... Completely inexpressive to look at.

Well, even Michelangeli looking at it... haha

glenn gould never even raised the issue, not even live or in recording....in my opinion it helps...

Sometimes I find myself not breathing at all, I practically play in apnea for a few seconds, especially when I find a passage difficult, etc.
Anyway, in general, I also follow the breath of singing.

There you go, well indeed... apnea.. it happens to me too..
Great Nancy.. Gould seemed to have the staff twisted around his tendons... poor guy with that little chair...
At high school we saw nothing but Gould..
Simone, but aren't there lyrics or something else for breathing? Do you have any titles?

It does not occur to me that there are texts dedicated to the pianist's breathing. In any case, it is enough to read the score well and find the breaths; the rest comes naturally.
