Cage set the admission price at $5 and had a time clock installed in the lobby of the theatre. Each patron checked in with the clock and when leaving the concert, checked out again and received a refund of a nickel for each 20 minutes attended. &#8220;In this way,&#8221; he told Lloyd, &#8220;People will understand that the more art you consume, the less it should cost.&#8221; But Cage had underestimated the length of time the concert would take. It lasted over 18 hours. (45 segons 840 serien unes 11 hores).<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><i>Vexations<\/i> was written in a period when Satie&#8217;s approach to harmony was related rather to a <a class=\"mw-redirect\" title=\"Musical mode\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Musical_mode\">modal<\/a> line of thought than to conventional <a title=\"Harmony\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Harmony\">harmony<\/a>. Harmonically, <i>Vexations<\/i> appears to be an exercise in non-<a title=\"Resolution (music)\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Resolution_(music)\">resolving<\/a> <a title=\"Tritone\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Tritone\">tritones<\/a>. Maybe Satie&#8217;s intent was nothing more than to prove that any <a class=\"new\" title=\"Harmonic system (page does not exist)\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/w\/index.php?title=Harmonic_system&amp;action=edit&amp;redlink=1\">harmonic<\/a> and <a title=\"Rhythm\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Rhythm\">rhythmic<\/a> system was only a matter of habit for the hearer (and not resulting from innate or divine preconception, as his contemporaries would think): so that after listening 840 times to a <a class=\"new\" title=\"Harmonic system (page does not exist)\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/w\/index.php?title=Harmonic_system&amp;action=edit&amp;redlink=1\">chordal system<\/a> that is at odds with any habitual one, and set in an <a class=\"new\" title=\"Odd metre (page does not exist)\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/w\/index.php?title=Odd_metre&amp;action=edit&amp;redlink=1\">odd<\/a> <a title=\"Metre (music)\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Metre_(music)\">metre<\/a>, one would possibly start to experience this new system to be as natural as any other \u2013 an experiment he was likely to have taken seriously, and maybe directly or indirectly influenced <a title=\"Claude Debussy\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Claude_Debussy\">Debussy<\/a> and\/or <a title=\"Maurice Ravel\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Maurice_Ravel\">Ravel<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>It is also possible that Satie was spoofing the <a title=\"Perpetuum mobile\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Perpetuum_mobile\">Perpetuum mobile<\/a> genre: many 19th-century composers had composed such \u2013 then very popular \u2013 separate pieces with an &#8216;indefinite&#8217; number of repeats, mostly leaning on dextrous virtuosity. References like &#8220;immobilities&#8221;, a definite (but disproportionately high) number of repeats, an unconventional harmony, and a &#8220;very slow&#8221; tempo, instead of the usual very rapid one of a <a title=\"Perpetuum mobile\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Perpetuum_mobile\">Perpetuum mobile<\/a>, all might indicate that Satie was making a <a title=\"Parody\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Parody\">parody<\/a> of this genre, spiting the cheap effects of content-less virtuosity in an uninspired harmonic and rhythmical scheme, that his contemporaries would use to suggest &#8220;rapture&#8221; to their public.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.newyorker.com\/culture\/culture-desk\/a-dangerous-and-evil-piano-piece\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">New Yorker 2020<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Vexations\">Wikipedia<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/media.newyorker.com\/photos\/5909521e019dfc3494e9dd4d\/master\/w_727,c_limit\/vexations-580.jpg\" width=\"580\" height=\"365\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/upload.wikimedia.org\/wikipedia\/commons\/e\/e6\/Vexations_erik_satie_piano_sheet.jpeg\" \/><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"#igorpianist - Erik Satie Vexations\" width=\"525\" height=\"295\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Uu_03mUPgHU?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Erik Satie &quot;Vexations&quot; 1893 (Excerpt)\" width=\"525\" height=\"295\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/vTgoVcP3YDs?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pe\u00e7a de 1893 amb la indicaci\u00f3 que es toqui 840 vegades.).
