Chuck Nessa Posted July 13, 2007 Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alocispepraluger102 Posted July 13, 2007 Author Report Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
