Amateur pianist corner goes live! Participating in #Satie Vexations today in Turin.
Thinking especially of Robert Orledge (his edition of the score) and Ornella Volta (a card from her): she would have loved this European Satie event in Italy

Music hall poster for revue ‘Tais-toi, tu m’affoles!’ including ‘That Mysterious Rag’ cited by #Satie in Parade. From Hervé Lacombe’s fascinating paper on the art/music hall link

Update: finally nailed it! Challenging for me because it's fast & has scale passages in it, but YAY 😇

Amateur pianist corner: it's #Scarlatti 's birthday and I'm currently getting to grips with K461. Fun and has surprisingly unpredictable passages

I tend to assume with Satie that he was after a particular visual effect - the notational quirks certainly aren't for musical reasons

Amateur pianist corner: #Satie Vexations. As I'm participating in a performance on Friday, I thought I'd better dig it out and remind myself how to play it...

Nina Guo, Jack Sheen & London Sinfonietta after extraordinarily moving #Grisey Quatre chants. Excellent programming: the transition from John White’s Drinking & Hooting Song worked uncannily well

I wrote a book about féerie, thé highly spectacular, music-heavy, unabashedly commercial French stage genre, at the fin de siècle. Singing vegetables, space travel, and it's free to download, what's not to like?

Book cover. A late nineteenth-century chromolitograph: in the foreground, a person in a vaguely Renaissance-y male costume, yellow from head to toe, and a deer; in the background, anthropomorphic fishes and crustaceans. It's a poster for a production of La biche au bois, one of the plays covered in the book.

Same! I'm wondering whether there's audience participation... I think the sound world will make an interesting pairing with Grisey
