Many novice musicians do not know how to use Pause as an independent element of music to create various effects and increase expressiveness and emotionality of performance.
I will not describe a pause that is ordered by the composer what they look like and what they can be. I want to talk about the art of maintaining a pause, which makes all listeners freeze while waiting for the solution. Or about pauses in which we simply have to let the singer and the musician breathe on a brass or string instrument. It is not difficult to learn, and experienced musicians master these techniques easily and naturally.
Pause in music plays an important role and can create various effects that affect the perception and influence of a musical work.
Let’s look at some of them:
- Resistance and expectation
Pause can cause a sense of resistance and waiting for the listener. When a musical song suddenly stops on a pause, it can create a sense of tension and waiting for what will happen later. Pause can be used to create a dramatic effect and attract the attention of the listener. - Emphasizing and emphasizing a melodic fragment
Pause can be used to create an accent and emphasize certain moments in music. When the musical song stops from an important chord or melodic section, it can attract the listener’s attention and make this moment more expressive. - Division and structure
Pause can be used to separate and structure a musical work. It can separate various sections or phrases, helping the listener better orientate himself in the composition. Pause can also be used to create breaks between repetitions or variations of musical topics, helping to strengthen their effect and memoriality. - Creating tension and emotional influence
Pause can be used to create tension and emotional influence in music. When the musical song stops from an important moment or solution, it can create a sense of waiting and increase the emotional impact on the listener. Pause can also be used to create a surprise effect or surprise when the musical song suddenly returns after a break.
So dear, avoid mechanical game without breath, be sensitive and expressive.
Listen to more yourself and be careful at your partners. Listen to the recordings of outstanding performers and look for your style. In, after all, Pause’s art is what makes music recognizable and loved.
