I understand that ‘lent et douloureux’ is the tempo Satie intended for Gymnopédie No. 1, but Reinhart de Leeuw’s sluggish rendition slows it to such an agonising crawl that the melody all but evaporates. One longs for it to end, convinced that it ever will.


I would like to ask whoever curates @AppleMusic's 'Meditation Moments' classical playlist how Beethoven's Piano Sonata No. 30 in E Major, Op. 109, can possibly be considered an appropriate choice.

Why eight lines when four will suffice?


'A Walk' is the first completed poem to be discarded from the anthology. An early composition, its pathos is lost in lacklustre lines. Moreover, I could never forgive myself for fabricating a landscape for the sake of rhyme (the hill depicted is treeless)!
