Lovely music, these "Vexations."
It is but a gimmick, honnnhhh honnnnhhhh honnnnnnnhhhhh!!!!
Well, maybe not entirely. Satie's day gig was as an incidental music pianist, so I'm sure he did want to relay the experience of hearing the same piece repeatedly with slightly different ears each time.
Right now, I'm listening to Pierre Boulez conduct the Chicago Symphony's rendition of Varése's
Ionisation.
