Actually, I play violin, so I think silnce is important because it brings drama or tranquility in the are of music.

Good question. Yes, silence is very important in music. This is because it gives a certain feel to the peice. It may make it seem eerie or sad. The beats may sound better if a rest is taken. Hope this helps!

According to some.

The renowned 20th century composer John Cage wrote a piece for solo piano entitled 4"33" which features the performer doing nothing but sitting on stage in front of the piano.

The composition's title takes its name from how long the premiere performance lasted.

A rest. A half rest is an indication of a period of silence lasting two beats in simple time.

silence means when the music stops and gives a time to think and to all the echoes to die away
