Erik Satie - 42 Vexations (1893)
Written by eccentric French composer Erik Satie in 1893, the extraordinary score for Vexations is just three lines long, yet a complete performance (840 repetitions) may last for anything between 14 and 28 hours. First performed under the supervision of John Cage in 1963, this radical yet enigmatic work is now recognized as a significant milestone in avant-garde music. This meditative recording features 42 repetitions of the motif, performed by Stephane Ginsburgh on piano.Stephane Ginsburgh plays’Le Vexations’ 42 times
