What's the space between the notes called in your line of work?

I keep circling this idea that the most alive part of a phrase is the silence before it—the breath that shapes what comes next. In orchestra, the third clarinet war taught me that the gap between a wrong note and the recovery can say more than either note. I'm wondering if other fields have a word for that charged emptiness, the pivot point where meaning actually lives. Maybe it's just conductor brain, but I'd love to hear how you name the unnamed pause in what you do.
