Erik Satie

Happy Birthday, Paul!
man I wonder what my life would be like if I never got into Ravel’s music, good thing we’ll never know ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Since this is the series finale for Chamber Music, I thought I’d dig back to one of the earliest pieces I shared on this blog, the second movement of Maurice Ravel’s String Quartet in F Major, played here by the Hagen Quartet. This string quartet is truly one of my favorite pieces of all time, and its anxious second movement is at the heart of that for me. I’m in a rush today, but please, enjoy! More to come as the week continues! - Melinda Beasi
Pièces En Ut Majeur:
i. Prélude II. Allemande III. Courante IV. Menuet En Rondeau
By Composer Robert De Visée (1655- 1733)
Jose Miguel Moreno, Theorbe
context: Satie composed a short theme called Vexations that bears the description: “In order to play the theme 840 times in succession, it would be advisable to prepare oneself beforehand and in the deepest silence..." which almost definitely means "play this 840 times in a row."
Concerto À 4 Parties In A Minor - III. Allegro
By Composer Michel Blavet
Performed By Musica Antiqua Köln
“The Flute Player” By Artist Hendrick Terbrugghen
