In music, a pensato (Italian: "thought") is a composed imaginary note, a written note which is neither played nor heard. "This meant that a note had to be so indescribably tender and soft that it was only allowed to be thought of." (Score 1958) Anton Webern is credited by some with the first use of pensatos, while others argue he did not use them at all.
