For non-wind instruments, it just means for the musician to take a very short pause between one note and another, and to not have any connection between the notes. Citlik-saritas S et al (2018) The effects of Turkish classical music on physiological parameters, pain and analgesic use in patients with myocardial infarction: a non-randomized controlled study. Eur J Integr Med 22:50–53These results seem to parallel those of Smith and Morris (1977). In their study, they also found that participants performed better on a cognitive processing test while listening to no music than they did while listening to either stimulating or sedative music. They determined that performance is impaired with music and optimized with no music. However, their study revealed that participants performed significantly better while listening to sedative music than they did while listening to stimulating music, whereas the current experiment found no significant difference in test scores between the loud music and soft music conditions. As a musician with a great love for classical music, I listened up attentively when I heard Osho speak about the spaces between the notes, the “gaps of silence.” The following quote in particular made me look at the so-called ‘general pauses’ in classical music in a way I had never thought of before: from a mystic’s rather a musician’s view. And I could then experiment with it. Unforgiving. Unforgiving!' say's the King. 'Well, we must hurry on, pass over or skirt around that word. Unforgiving. But I tell you, lutenist, I am tortured by lice. Do not look alarmed. Not in my hair or on my pillow. I mean by cowards, rascals, liars, sots, cheats and lechers. Where are the philosophers? That is what I constantly ask.' Peter Claire does not know how to reply to this and he is aware that the tall gentleman, without his noticing, has gone from the room, leaving him alone with the King, who now pushes the scales aside and settles himself more comfortably in the chair. However, there was also no significant difference in test scores between participants in the soft music conditions ( M= 23.75) and performance in the loud music conditions ( M= 24.22), t(31)= -0.56, p= 0.582.

Music – that’s been my education. There’s not a day that goes by that I take it for granted.” – Billie Joe Armstrong You’ll often see H bars used to indicate that the musician shouldn’t play for multiple bars which is known as multirests. Silence]" ("A suitable place for those with tired ears to pause and resume listening later") by Robert Wyatt The study was conducted in rooms assigned by the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC) at Shady Grove. Participants were given informed consent forms to fill out at the beginning of the experiment and a research participation credit sheet. A repeated-measure design was used in this study. All thirty-two participants were exposed to all five conditions. The researcher explained to participants that music would be played while they solved the questions on the tests. The volume at each music condition was adjusted as the experiment progressed.Malakoutikhah, A., Dehghan, M., Ghonchehpour, A. et al.
