The morgenseiten of Katharsisdrill 23 - who is Jeanne de Bret?

Yesterday I didn't know what to write and it turned strange. Cursing the weather is a bad habit. So today I took this photo of the score on the music rack of my piano instead.

So, who is Jeanne de Bret? I looked it up on the internet... and nothing showed up!? The place where nonsense, Kardashians, challenges, life-hacks and trivia is ripe, could not answer this little question! Instead I read about Satie - in one of the books in Google's closed library I found a sentence about the dedication not being written in Satie's handwriting?

It is a couple of years since I played piano on a daily basis. I like to think of it as: The noble way to procrastinate. Because I now play with my youngest daughter and the big one has expressed interest in joining us, I have started to play a little again. Satie is technically easy so I thought that it would be a good place to resume the noble art of procrastination.

First time I heard the music of Eric Satie (and was aware that it was him) was on record by the Danish jazz-pianist Jan Kaspersen, who liked Thelonious Monk so much that he also wore a leopard hat. I have talked to him a couple of times and he once gave me an advice about how to live and be an avantgarde artist at the same time. "You will have to go through all the grants and scholarships, and apply for every crown" (what Danish money is called). I never really succeeded in following the advice :)

I found this fine little jam with Kaspersen. It is called: Message for Tchicai after the Danish saxophone player, John Tchicai.

It goes like this: you shall each morning write from the soul, anything going through your head.

He writes a lot more, but this is the essence :) (Read his first morgenseiten post here)

I have decided to try the same. I write from the top of my head every morning or late morning if I have been sleeping late. I only correct typos and make a headline afterwards. Else everything is left as written. Expect some of it to sound like stage directions.
