Sunday evening Yoko and I got together for our weekly piano duets. We have begun studying Satie’s Morceaux en Forme de Poire. It is so hauntingly beautiful, mesmerizing. We were transported to a mysterious, mystical realm. Yoko thanked Satie for writing this piece. When we played Dvorak after that it sounded so strange, so heavy. It took me a while to adjust. But then I was able to enjoy the differences.
We bought the CD of Satie’s music and I have been playing it on the “repeat” setting. I suppose that is one good thing about living alone. I won’t drive anyone crazy with my obsessions!
