A BREATH OF FRESH AIR: Violinists Daniel Froschauer and Katharina Engelbrecht of the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra take part in a test to see how far musicians’ breath travels while performing on stage. The experiment involved orchestral members performing with an aerosol device inside their noses, which spayed a fine mist into their lungs. They were then photographed while playing in front of a black canvas. For string players there was no difference in how far the breath travelled between playing their instruments or being at rest. For brass and woodwind instruments, clouds of air were observed in the area of the mouth, regardless of the breathing technique. The only exception to this was the flute, where droplets were observed up to 80cm from the musician - still within the minimum distance required for social distancing.
