I admire his commitment to the piece, and the earnesty he brings towards it. Satie, you bastard! Bringing people to actually perform the "Vexations", together with conceiving it in the first place (and thus paving the path to minimalism), is what turns this into a real piece of art.
El confinamiento global ha sido una experiencia inédita. Esta transmisión deja un testimonio muy poderoso. Muchos cibernautas la estuvimos siguiendo, tal vez de manera intermitente, como un pensamiento comunitario por la salud física, mental y espiritual de los seres que habitamos este planeta.
Vielen vielen vielen vielen vielen vielen (835 Wiederholungen) Dank.. das war sehr beeindruckend. Ich habe hohen Respekt vor Ihrem Werk und gratuliere herzlich zu dem Bundesverdienstkreuz.
Last year on this, Satie's birthday, I heard this for many hours (I didn't listen straight through), but with many different players, pianos. Perhaps I'll listen to Levit's long version sometime.
I think this piece is designed to make the walls go askew, to bring a glimmer of hope, and then turn it into wretched agony, at which time, the walls again begin to twist...
2 photocopiers died to make this performance. Did you hear about the short-sighted pianist that gave a performance of John Cage,s 4 hours and 33 minutes ?
A less minimalistic comment now: Caitlin Horrocks must be delighted to see and listen to the inventive performance of Vexations of Satie by Igor Levit. And Samuel Beckett would have been thrilled (or I should be more careful here and say, moved) had he a chance to see the theatre and music of Levit's take on the Vexations of Satie.
Hmm… y'know what? I'm not sure I want to start hallucinating ants coming out of my keyboard. It did say on the broadcast it could do that, right? I have a pretty good imagination already. It sounds a little like a Daliesque Andalusian dog-thing… those films he made with Luis Buñuel? Isn't everybody paranoid enough already?
Ich glaub eher, dass er sich mit diesem Stück einen Scherz erlaubt hat und sich am Boden kugeln würde vor Lachen, wenn er sehen würde wie viele Leute tatsächlich darauf reingefallen sind.
Sad not seeing the consuming of the food. Perhaps one of the cameramen/camerawomen/persons/things/manipulators/levitators could have spoonfed him/performer/pianist/human/interpreter while he/it/she/we/who was performing the music/sound/satiemusique/pianopiece?:!{&$$>
Bem, ouça um CD de "Well-Tempered Clavier" arranhado, e já o tem: não seja exigente e não incomode ninguém. Ou tente fazer você mesmo, no piano. (Também serve, ou melhor, um CD raspado de "Die Kunst der Fuge")
@@dmitru Conseguiu ouvir 840 vezes ( 16 horas) como o pianista tocou na versão original? Só por isso disse de Bach. Gosto muito deste pianista no outro repertório, no Ravel por exemplo...
I'm thinking "but why?" I'm thinking "OMG all those trees cut down for the paper that's wasted here!" I'm thinking "why not learn a new skill (or a new piano sonata?) during those 16 hours instead of driving oneself crazy with this - well - pretty boring piece" .... I shake my head.... I'm thinking "has everyone gone mad (reading the positive reviews) or is it just me who wonders "but why?" - I don't mean to be disrespectful. I am just stating that - in my opinion - this is (was) a pure waste of time. Time that is very limited on this planet. (I do have to admit that I WOULD listen to J.S.Bach's Chaconne for solo violin over and over.... :-))
Zu wild der Bre
Igor Levit has played that for 16 hours, repeated it 840 times ...
This is closer to some kind of performance art.
Einfach genial,beeindruckend, mit so viel Gefühl! Danke für ihre Musik. Sie zu hören ist für mich etwas besonderes!

Es war so besonders und ich bin froh, dabei gewesen zu sein
A beautiful experience.

Einfach großartig, vielen Dank! 🌻
Powerful! I just saw his interview on 60 Minutes, 1/3/21, he's so in touch with his music reaching the human soul during this COVID-19 Pandemic.
Me too, and I agree.

Satie’s sense of humour knew no bounds … the repetition of this piece is a classic 19th skit
beautiful, so inspiring
indeed
Felicitaciones Igor !!! Sensacional interpretación !!!
Superb!
Phenomenal pianist. What at absolutely amazing artist and such a gift to the world of music. I could listen to him play for hours.
Love this guy
I demand the full version lol
Pretty much sums up the year 2020! ❤
I enjoy listening to this.
It reminds me of Japanese Koto music.
so epic
This was Satie´s intention, by far...

Bravo, from Paris
I don't understand why you left out the middle section. I don't understand why you left out

Maddening Complete madness! Erik Went off his rocker for sure. Or was that Igor For actually doing it LOL. BRavo.
음악의 역사를 살펴보면 ‘시간적 예술’로서의 개념 외에도 ‘공간’으로서의 음악의 개념이 이미 ‘미니멀 뮤직(minimal music)’에서 제기되었다.
이 곡은 같은 부분을 840번 반복하며 실제 연주시간은 최소 10시간에 이른다.

is it possible to see the whole performance?
Still three more "likes" to this video to go for 840!!
Click on, folks!
사티는 어떤 생각으로 이런곡을 썼을까?
Музыкальное зрелище, которое мне очень понравилось
najaa

Musik LK von frau kiefeeeeeeer LETS GOOO
F
epic nigga
il ove how you have 840 copies
sich aufreiben. Darum geht´s. Gut Gemacht
Fazit: Satie war ein Psycho
Ich glaub eher, dass er sich mit diesem Stück einen Scherz erlaubt hat und sich am Boden kugeln würde vor Lachen, wenn er sehen würde wie viele Leute tatsächlich darauf reingefallen sind.

Pure. Boredom.
Preferia se ele tocasse 16 horas de Bach!

Claro, que 16 horas de Bach tocar é muito mais difícil e digno !

Só por isso disse de Bach.
Gosto muito deste pianista no outro repertório, no Ravel por exemplo...
