pause

In music, the prolongation of a note, chord, or rest beyond its normal value, indicated by the fermata sign. In the 18th-century concerto it is regularly placed over the 6/4 chord which precedes the cadenza. In a da capo it marks the point at which the piece ends after repetition of the first section.
