Abstract
In the music notation, a pause indicates the duration of the silence. Sometimes this silence is precisely dictated by the pace of the piece and the number of notes in the bar, in other cases it depends more on the inner sense of time of the player. It also happens that the composer writes down silence at the end of the piece, not trusting - perhaps rightly - the performer that he will be able to sense and understand it himself. Sometimes even the whole piece, as in the case of John Cage's famous 4'33, is actually written four and a half minutes of silence. Silence can be of great importance, it can be saturated with meanings or it can be completely empty.
