Bonjour, mon cher mentor!
I must admit that I missed you a bit... Are you all right? I recently injured my right hand badly... So I would like to ask you my dear mentor, have you had any serious injuries in your life? Have you ever suffered an injury while playing the piano?
Sending lots of love and waiting for your letter.
Votre étudiant assidu
@marie-louise-baskerville
Good evening, my dear Marie.
I am deeply worried by your injury. We can discuss music for as long as you need to rest.
As for your questions, I have never sustained injuries serious enough to stop me from playing. Not ailments to hands, wrists or arms, which have kept me for a long time from the piano at least.
I am though subject to frequent and violent bouts of high fever, delirium and melancholy. I find myself abruptly relegated to a bed, wherever I am in the world, sweating and suffering atrocious nightmares with no strength enough to get out of it plus cramps and diffused pains. These happen with great aggression and drown me often especially when touring. In that case not only I cannot play: I find myself unable to eat or stand up, not even think straight, thus unable to live for days on end.
For example, one time I cancelled a concert three hours before its opening and went to sleep: that time Mendelssohn and Schumann were there and helped me through it. They have written about it.
Such storm-like abrupt ailments always have come unto my head. When I was but a child, before five years of age, I suffered a total paralysis crisis so severe and persisting that my parents bought a coffin small enough for the body of a child sure enough it would soon be filled. Alas, I survived!

Do you have a list of non boring orchestral pieces? Ones that are dramatic and exciting?
Yes. 99% of orchestral pieces are not boring lol
You need to take a deep breath and skip the classical period. Just listen to everything before and after the classical period. It's only 50 years of music. Just skip it. Just think of the classical period as a pretentious meme propagated by the infamous fuckboy Mozart. And just skip that meme. Listen to everything before 1750 and everything after 1800.
Literally just listen to everyone who isn't Mozart or Haydn. Just skip that 1% of orchestral music and listen to the other 99%. Von Bingen, Vivaldi, Bach, Beethoven, Tchaikovsky, Brahms, Mendelssohn, Respighi, Saint-Saens, Holst, Mahler, Dvorak, Shostakovich, Stravinsky, Bartok, Sibelius, Britten, Vaughan Williams, Ravel, Barber, Copland, Rautavaara, Tan Dun, John Luther Adams, Caroline Shaw, and hundreds of others.
If you don't have the attention span for 30 minutes of music, yes you do. Get off Tiktok. Just sit and look out the window and listen.
I promise you music was not boring for 400 years. Just open your ears and see what happens. There is music that was written hundreds of years ago that is more mystifying and soul-disturbing than anything written today.
Renaissance and Baroque music was about having a good time while innovating and developing musical instruments and theory. I could do a whole separate post about music between 1400 and 1750. But I feel like this has a little bit of everything. Fun, dance, old instruments, and fugue pattern theory.
Then there was the classical period 1750-1800 and we're skipping that. Basically the only important thing they did was develop instrumental musician technique. A lot of this music is actually very fun and challenging to play. But it doesn't grab the heart of every listener.
And then there was Beethoven.
Beethoven wrote this quartet in 1825, 2 years before his death. What were you and I doing in 1825? We were just dirt and dust when he wrote this.
He put everything into this quartet. He didn't hold anything back here. If he wasn't destitute, hungry, and financially dependent on Viennese music critics, his symphonies would've all been like this quartet. Still, even though he was holding back in his symphonies, they still managed to change the course of music history. So many musicians and composers fell in love with the romantic popular style of his symphonies. And they all made incredible, fun, exciting music. And I genuinely enjoy that romantic period.
But it took 100 years after Beethoven's death before anyone really understood his final compositions. The person who really understood what Beethoven was doing in his final years was Stravinsky. Stravinsky had wrestled with and won his own battles with critics. So he had the financial support to be more experimental. And he could take what Beethoven was doing in string quartets and expand that to a full orchestra. More than just an orchestra. A ballet. Stravinsky took the legacy of Beethoven's final years and turned that into full ballet productions. The Rite of Spring, the Firebird, Orpheus, Pulcinella, Petrushka, etcetera. It's all great fun.
This isn't a ballet. I just like this little Stravinsky piece from 1938. It sounds like something Beethoven would've written if he wasn't constrained by critics.
And now, 100 years after Stravinsky, contemporary music has come full circle. We're back to a lot of the same thinking and perspectives of the renaissance and baroque era. Having a good time while innovating and developing musical instruments and theory. Many popular contemporary composers like Caroline Shaw are extremely neo-baroque. Also, a lot of baroque music observed and emulated nature. And now we have Anna Thorvalsdottir and John Luther Adams doing exactly that.
If Vivaldi ever did LSD he would probably write something like this.

My current list of names for future ferrets:
Boy ferrets: Mozart is for sure the next one, followed by Stravinsky, Shostakovitch (FANTASTIC name), and Grieg.
Girl ferrets: (Anna Magdalena) Bach, Debussy (not after any women, I just think it's a good girls' name), and Mendelssohn (Fanny, not Felix)
Sadly, I will probably not get new ferrets until my boys are very old, so I can't look forward to this :(

Mute Magazine
The Greek literary magazine Teflon was formed in 2009 to counter the conservatism of already existing poetry publications in Greece. In this interview Lotte L.S. talks to editors Jazra Khaleed and Kyoko Kishida about Teflon’s history and ambitions, the politics of translation, collaborative editing, distribution practices and the tensions between poetry and political struggle
LLS: I don’t know a lot about Russian poetry, but there’s one poet’s work I’m particularly interested in – Kirill Medvedev. Ugly Duckling Presse published a collection of his poems, essays and ‘actions’…He renounced all copyright of his work –
KK: Isn’t that published by Commune Editions? Ah, no, that’s Pavel Arsenev… I think they both publish in Translit magazine… I’ve recently read Elena Fanailova’s translations by Ugly Duckling… When was Mevedev’s translation published?
LLS: I think quite a while ago [2012] – it’s called It’s No Good. A bit along the same kinds of lines as the work Commune Editions publish – but maybe more Marxy. What do you think of Commune Editions’ stuff?
KK: All of their books I’ve read are interesting. And we’ve translated in Greek some of the people they have published: Nanni Balestrini, Wendy Trevino...
LLS: [Wendy Trevino’s] Cruel Fiction?
KK: No, not the whole collection, but parts of it: mainly from ‘128-131’; the poems from Santa Rita prison and a few more, about the time she was incarcerated during Occupy.
LLS: I find a lot of Commune Editions’ stuff exciting – especially the work of Wendy Trevino, Juliana Spahr, Jasmine Gibson and Adelaide Ivánova – but I find some of their other work a bit too… I remember Lisa Robertson saying once that she found poetry in that part of the US often seemed to approach politics as something you ‘inject’ as content into writing…She talks about how she writes as a feminist, but that this isn’t related to content or accessibility, but an ‘ethics of conduct.’
...
LLS: That’s what I’m wondering. I remember in one interview, Jazra, Max Ritvo said to you, ‘the stakes of what you’re communicating in your poetry are so high for you’. But neither of you approach poetry as something that should be wielded solely to support political struggle… it’s its own thing – with its own unknowingness – and people can either take from that or not. It makes me think of those lines from one of Anna Mendelssohn’s poems in Implacable Art: ‘To any who want poems to give them answers… / A poem is not going to give precise directions. / You musn’t touch the hiding places.’
JK: It can be both, I think. You don’t have to restrict it. It can be both part of an anti-fascist – well, not of the movement – it can be part of anti-fascist discourse, because poetry is like a discourse.
KK: It’s a tool you can use for many things, but it doesn’t feel right describing it as something that ‘serves’ this other thing, because it’s so wide. I think poetry is in our everyday lives – in whatever we do. Poetry is inherent in every person, and either you have the intention to express it in a written or different way or not. Many avant-garde movements across history had these debates – like, language is not ours, it belongs to those in power – so what do we do? Do we refuse meaning, or do we create new narratives? Poetry is wide and open, and can be used and approached with many different intentions.
...
LLS: I like that – it means the reader is invited to become an active participant in the lineage and life of the magazine, like how so much of the poems translated and published in Teflon enable a collaborative force to emerge between writer and reader. I think Anna Mendelssohn’s work, which you published in Teflon last year, is a good example of this.
friday
This is the reason why I do not conform.
A smile is a formality. That is all that exists
between people who do not know each other.
It is irrelevant what one knows of anyone.
The torso. People without minds. Tenses can be
Rapidly switched. How does one know that
one’s pursuer does not intend to cause one
harm. A man can demand explanations.
A woman is accused of aggressive behaviour
for querying motive. One does not need to
Pursue anyone, one can be invited to live
in a house & find oneself being used
for servitude. And Interrogated, relentlessly
& remorselessly, until one is too weak
to move. This is peace as is death.
It is imagined that one is writing.
Why is it difficult to register Detestation.
The dangers in writing are inherent.
Why it is dangerous to criticize the Establishment
Openly. Why what amuses the Establishment
is the Bad Use of language and Sex.
Why women are discussed in terms of knickers.
Why it is important not to lose control
Of one’s own mind. Why Literature
Frames novices. Why Framing is a sociopolitical act.
by Anna Mendelssohn

Friends and mutuals thank you for enduring my auerblogging thus far. It is not in vain because Auerbach is putting such words into Lessing's letters:
I don't know how to tag this so that more people see it but one of the things that particularly draws me to the study of the Lessing/Mendelssohn/Nicolai/Karsch/Wincklemann etc. writings is that nobody is independently wealthy; they inhabit a mercantilist /early capitalist paradigm which considers them for their ability to serve the state rather than their inherent value as human beings or the truth they themselves love, and that forces the first to supply the latter two.
The Sturm-und-Draenger contemporary to them and the Romantics after them may have sought liberty in the depths of human emotion, but it occurred to them, as it occurs to Auerbach's Ephraim Kuh on pg. 180 that they will never be loved by the institutions they will devote so much of their lives, and yet they love. And yet they think, and commit themselves in ink to an uncertain posterity, and centuries afterwards we read their words and recognize this hope was not in vain. There is a mind on the other end of the line worth knowing, and if we are lucky there is a mind centuries after us who will not remember us for our jobs but for our professions
