Silence is necessary to music but is not part of music. Music leans on it.

Silence is necessary to music but is not part of music. Music leans on it.
“If life be time that here is spent / And time on earth be cast away / Who so his time hath here misspent / Hath hasten’d his own dying day. / So it doth prove a killing crime / To massacre our living time.
If doing naught be like to death, / Of him that doth chameleon-wise / Take only pains to draw his breath, / The passers by may pasquilize, / Not here he lives: but here he dies.”
John Hoskyns | “Of the Loss of Time”
