Do You Like Vexations By Erik Satie?

Satie is certainly a great artist; I don't know if the question that gives the topic its title is rhetorical, but if someone doesn't like Satie (including this piece) ... it's their problem.

I didn't know the piece and I have listened to very little Satie, I liked it.

But what do you think about it? Did you just discover it? Is it one of your favorite listens? Do you not like it and want to know what others think? In short, about something

I love Erik Satie, I have known his music for several years (I also love John Cage, among others, a genius influenced by Satie's music), so there is nothing rhetorical in my post (God forbid!). A few years ago, imagine, I traveled from my central Italian hometown to Milan, where, I don't remember the name of the theater, Patrizio Fariselli (former keyboardist of Area) and another pianist (whose name I don't remember) alternated for about 24 hours (twenty-four, yes) in the performance of Vexations. An unforgettable experience even though about 30 years have passed (otherwise why would I have proposed this post in our forum?).

Speaking of Patrizio Fariselli and Area, you know them, right?

You're right Casta, indeed how can one not love Satie?
