Huh?

Musical directions in Erik Satie’s piano works:

  • “Wonder about yourself.”
  • “Provide yourself with shrewdness.”
  • “Alone, for one moment.”
  • “Open the head.”
  • “Superstitiously.”
  • “In a very particular way.”
  • “Light as an egg.”
  • “Like a nightingale with a toothache.”
  • “Moderately, I insist.”
  • “A little bit warm.”
  • “Very Turkish.”

One direction — “Very lost” — might have been unnecessary.
