An artist must regulate his life.
Here is a time-table of my daily acts. I rise at 7.18; am inspired from 10.23 to 11.47. I lunch at 12.11 and leave the table at 12.14. A healthy ride on horse-back round my domain follows from 1.19 pm to 2.53 pm. Another bout of inspiration from 3.12 to 4.17 pm. From 5 to 6.47 pm various occupations (fencing, reflection, immobility, visits, contemplation, dexterity, natation, etc.)
Dinner is served at 7.16 and finished at 7.20 pm. From 8.19 to 9.59 pm symphonic readings (out loud). I go to bed regularly at 10.37 pm. Once a week (on Tuesdays) I awake with a start at 3.14 am.
Members that think Erik Satie is the best!
Comments
To many people, Erik Satie was just an eccentric composer of weird little ditties, (and he couldn’t even play the piano that well). Still, those Gymnopédies… I never tire of them!
Quite. The Gymnopédies are costructed exquisitely.
Sa musique m'a toujours fait penser à une sorte de prémonition ; celle de la grande catastrophe de 1914. Une esthétique froide collant parfaitement à son temps.
Sorry, but my english is not good enough to translate it properly.
