Chuck Nessa Posted July 13, 2007 Report Posted July 13, 2007 And, I quoted you. I'll sue you for copyright's violation. This is my lawyer: You might know threats would come from a guy in Italy. What do you mean? Quote
alocispepraluger102 Posted July 13, 2007 Author Report Posted July 13, 2007 (edited) Another modern classical composer who writes a lot of silences is Salvatore Sciarrino. Ben Johnston's String Quartet #3 has a short "silent movement". It's on the New World recording. I listened before reading the liner notes, and it freaked me out. about the johnston: i wonder if the conductor counts off the beats of music silence. i am quite being serious. a live performance would be interesting. planned measured silences in music can be powerful. i do hope we respect this powerful item, and are even occasionally moved by it.

Since it is a quartet, the first violin probably gave the cues. Quote
