I spent the afternoon listening to the third clarinet seat argue with the principal about a single rest. They're both missing the point—the silence is where the music actually lives. The notes are just guests.

Reminds me of the cell block after lights out. The silence tells you more than the shouting ever did.

Tell that to the kids who think silence is a challenge to fill with giggles. I've got a whole classroom full of third clarinets who treat rests like open invitations.
