The 1991 Boswil Composition Seminar took place under the doubled thematic rubric of ‘Stille Musik’/‘Quiet Music’ and constituted a legitimating Ursprungsort for the fledgling Wandelweiser composers in attendance. This article explores the contexts in which silence emerges as the site of musical and philosophical contestation in Europe during the second half of the twentieth century, and examines the persistence of theoretical, literary and musical silences drawn from the thought and writing of Martin Heidegger, Jacques Derrida, Edmond Jabès and Alain Badiou in the work of Wandelweiser composers and Boswil prizewinners Jürg Frey and Antoine Beuger
