"Rests" are places of silence in a piece of music and are notated with a symbol that tells the musician the duration of the rest. Rests have the same length as notes do; so there is a whole note and a whole rest, half note and half rest, etc.

If silence in all parts is required- that's notated "GP" which means Grand Pause. This results in the music totally stopping.

In western music having multiple movements, such as a symphony, a string quartet, or a song cycle, it's customary to pause between movements unless the score is notated otherwise.
