“Vexations” played
continuously by multiple pianists for 24 hours.
Written in 1893 by Erik Satie, 'Vexations' consisted of
just three lines; although performance of the score could last anywhere upto
28 hours. 28 hours?! "You're having a laugh!" we hear you cry, but oh no;
it's gospel. Played in repetition, an average performance would clock in at
840 repetitions of the motif and was first fully realised by the mighty John
Cage in 1963. Clocking in at a restrained 40 repetitions, this 70 minute
recording by Alan Marks (1983) is an oddly moving and undeniably involving
piece of piano music which never even threatens to bore. Lovely music.
