If a composer can't come up with an ending for a song, just fade out!

Cheers,

And all of this comes after six or seven decades of pop radio habitually cross-fading records so that NO silence was heard between songs. It used to be station policy, now the software does it automatically by default. It can be changed and adjusted, but that has been the norm since I signed my first log 52 years ago.

Iā€™m guessing this may have started with the de rigueur fade-out endings in pop records of the 1950s.

Andreas Meyer's worthwhile comments are spot on. The First Law of Audio Production is that someone somewhere will always be dissatisfied with your choice. A good rule of thumb for pauses between movements or selections in classical music is: count to three, Andante. It produces a satisfactory breathing space to prepares the listener for the next event. I have found it a suitable compromise that will serve any musical genre except for situations demanding special juxtapositions..
