Not a proper comment, more a memory and a recommendation… My friend Lucy, a pianist in The Lost Jockey, was involved in a London performance of Vexations. She (and the other pianists) had to sightread because they could not memorise it and it stopped making sense when they looked at their hands. I brought in the new year listening to Satie’s bloody gorgeous Socrates. It’s on YouTube. And HNY.
Very good, didn't know that about Hallelujah. Not a deep thinker, me! But was reminded of being in a cafe in Whistler some years ago .. complete with families and teens having lunch. And then Zappa's Bobby Brown started playing! They were all completely oblivious! You hear what you hear I guess.
