How is it notated, in the Berg example? With the explicit direction like "pensato"? Also, how could it be disputed whether Anton Webern used them? Are they unsure of whether certain notes are to be physically played? Rigadoun (talk) 17:09, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

I do not understand the definition of pensato either. According to the definition it is a note. furthermore, the note is "composed". I interprete that means it is written down in the score. It is not being played, e.g. a piano player will not hit the corresponding key. However, the player will read the score and note the pensato. So it must have some influence on how he plays the piece, i.e. on how he plays the other non-pensato notes. But the article is completely unlear for me what kind of influence, effect or interpretation that would be. It should be different from diminuendo, shouldn't it? --80.187.105.174 (talk) 08:25, 2 May 2014 (UTC)

I wonder if the Innere Stimme in Schumann's Humoreske counts (you see it on the score, but you don't play it). Double sharp (talk) 10:54, 3 October 2020 (UTC)
