Well tuned in to #radiocapish
This Sunday we present a classic.
E. Satie's "Vexations," posthumously discovered and first performed no less than by John Cage, is a theme (presumably written for piano) to be repeated 840 times.
Satie writes: "To play this motif 840 times in a row, one should prepare in advance, and in the deepest silence, with serious composure."
This recording, released by Philips in 1983, is Reinbert De Leeuw's performance of only 35 repetitions of the theme. Therefore, to listen to the complete vexations, the LP should be replayed 24 times.
Enjoy listening.
