Classical Music (Was Re: [BC] Curious edits

[N0JAA@aol.com]

An aficionado of classical music knows the importance of silence between  
movements and even during movements.  As someone else said, the silence is  as 
important as the notes being played.  Of course, pauses between  movements were 
originally used to allow the musicians to turn the pages of their  music to 
the first page of the next music, but there are examples of  compositions that 
contain several seconds of silence during a movement, usually  called 
"resting," used to set a mood or state a point.
 
IIRC, Karl Haas produced a program about silence in music several years ago  
on his "Adventures in Good Music" program.
