Heading home later today after a wonderful time in Turin. Great interactions, excellent hospitality and - as I said in my introduction - a pleasure to participate as a British person in a trilingual European conference. 🥰🇪🇺

Caroline Potter @carolinefrmus.bsky.social · 9d

This will definitely be the first talk I’ve given with Vexations audibly in the background. 675 reps and counting here in Turin #Satie

The university conference catering here in Turin is fabulous and unlike anything I’ve experienced. Octopus and sparkling wine for lunch, anyone? 🥂🍾

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

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