“Caprice d’après l’étude en forme de valse de Saint-Saëns” – Eugène Ysaÿe
by richibi
“Homage to Erik Satie“ (c. 1926)
________
the very variety, the infinite variety,
of possibilities in music, in any art,
in any craft, in any even venture,
has had me believe in a diversified
world rather than the monotheistic
one we’ve been trained to ascribe
to, I believe in Olympus rather than
in Purgatory, Hell, and Heaven, I
see many more variations on a
theme, always, than immutable
objects, we are even ourselves in
constant, ever evolving, flux, look
at me, I’m not the boy, not the even
young man I used to be, though I
was never, of course, as wise as
I am now, later in life, or so I feel
I can continue to tell myself, ha ha
on this multiplicity read the
accomplished and convincing
Martha Nussbaum, incidentally
as an example of this exuberant
fruition consider this wonderful
interplay of artists and forms,
Ysaÿe‘s “Caprice d’après l’étude
en forme de valse de Saint-Saëns“,
“Caprice on the Study in Waltz
Form of Saint-Saëns”
here’s the study, “Étude en forme
de valse, op 52, no 6“, from which
it’s taken
don’t overlook either the “exuberant
fruition” above, the Dali on Satie
or find it again right here, just click
