a musician’s day
I rediscovered this quote today:
An artist must regulate his life. Here, then, is the precise schedule of my daily activities:
I get up at 7:18 A.M. I am inspired from 10:23 to 11:47. I have lunch at 12:11 and leave the table to 12:14.
I ride on my horse for my health’s sake, at the rear of my estate, from 1:19 P.M. until 2:53. Another bout of inspiration from 3:12 to 4:07.
Different occupations (fencing, reflection, immobility, visiting, contemplation, dexterity, swimming, etc.) from 4:21 to 6:47.
Dinner is served at 7:16 and over at 7:20. Then come symphonic readings (aloud) from 8:09 until 9:59.
My bedtime is regularly at 10:37. Every week I awaken with a start at 3:19 A.M. (Tuesdays).
The guy who wrote that, also wrote this:
“I. Lent et douloureux” from Trois Gymnopédies by Erik Satie
And this, which I think is hilarious:
“III. De Podophthalma, Un peu vif” from Embryons desséchés by Erik Satie:
