Munissez-vous de clairvoyance (Arm yourself with clairvoyance)

No purposes. Sounds. (Sund4r), Sunday, 4 March 2018 05:13 (six years ago) link

this is a good poll

satie is one of my favourite impressionist (if i am allowed the term) composers

i will give all these pieces a listen and vote later

i really enjoy thibaudet's interpretations and own his massive collection of satie recordings

How do you go from obtaining to being in 'De manière à obtenir un creux' ('So as to be a hole')? Some freeform translations in here…

Yeah I don’t get that either. The editor offered the more literal translation of that one in the performance notes but apparently wanted to put a spin on it in this score.

Though on the other hand I have droned on before about the identification of the desire to possess with the desire to become so maybe this makes sense to me.

Only been playing piano for a couple years, anybody got any tips on playing “Très perdu”

Mentally voted "open the head" before even seeing the other options

Voted on the tip of the tongue because it’s the one I can sort of imagine following musically

when worlds collide I'll see you again (Jon not Jon), Friday, 23 March 2018 00:23 (six years ago) link

voted "on the tip of thought" because i am singing it to "On the Wings of Love" in my head
