I not only love, not only admire, not only adore your music, I have been and am still falling in love with it. I could write a book more than 300 pages long about it.
Marcel Proust wrote volumes on the fluid quality of time as it exists in memory. Proust’s friend, composer Gabriel Fauré, advocated for the intimacy of chamber music as a way to nurture and express “inner life.” Fauré’s student, Charles Koechlin, proposed a “tower” from which the artist could objectively observe and process the world. All regarded the salon as an intimate means to transport composers and listeners to a timeless place of reflection and detachment, where past and present intermingle.
About This Event
Proust’s Salon: Tracing the Spiral of Time revives this deeply personal notion of time with music of Fauré, Schmitt, and Koechlin that might easily have been heard at one of the salon events that Proust and his circle of artists favored. Pianist Adam Neiman will provide commentary.
