Breath information that the player used was especially paid to attention in this research. The research example of the quantitative analysis is very few though it is thought that breath information is used to rest while the player is performing and to match timing each other. Then, the performance experiment by two violinists was executed on a facing condition and non-facing condition in this research, and the use of performance sound and player's breath information was analyzed quantitatively. As a result, the part where two players used breath information regardless of the part, facing that two players used breath information only in a facing condition, and non-facing was seen.
