[silence] Composers who use lots of silence

[Caleb Deupree]

On re-reading the original request, I have a harder time finding  
examples.  Stockhausen's Trans has a lot of activity with a very  
pregnant moment of silence.  Feldman's Extensions 3 has a fair amount  
of activity alternating with silent parts, but it's not very long  
(around six minutes).  I remember hearing a recording on Wergo  
(although discogs has it on Heliodor) of the Manfred Schoof Quintet  
playing scenes from operas by Bernd Alois Zimmermann that fit this  
paradigm, although it's been many years since I heard this album.
