Erik Satie's "Mémoires d'un Amnésique" #6 read LIVE by OÁC - de.en.es.fr.it.pt subs

Rare stuff. One of the very few writings of a musician who is mostly known for his piano works. You might say Satie's piano had a poetry of its own, made from gravity, mystic spirituality and off-the-wall humour.
«Mémoires d'un amnésique» appears as an "overtitle" for a series of six short articles Satie wrote for a couple of years and which were published in "Revue musicale S.I.M." between April 1912 and February 1914. The acronym S.I.M. is for Société Internationale de Musique. The sixth & last published in Revue musicale SIM was precisely "L'Intelligence et la Musicalité chez les Animaux".

It is to be noted that the article ended with the mention «à suivre» between brackets. There is a seventh text which seems to lay claim of kinship with the other six. It is «Recoins de ma Vie», one «Chronique Musicale» published by Les Feuilles Libres; published ten years later, in 1924, the year before Satie's death.

Écrits: L'Intelligence et la Musicalité chez les Animaux - Erik Satie auteur
L’intelligence des animaux est au-dessus de toute négation. Mais que fait l’homme pour améliorer l’état mental de ces concitoyens résignés ? Il leur offre une instruction médiocre, espacée, incomplète, telle qu’un enfant n’en voudrait pas pour lui-même: et il aurait raison, le cher petit être.
This learning consists mainly in developing the instinct of cruelty and vice that exists atavistically within individuals.
The content of such teaching never deals with art or literature, or natural sciences, moral science, or such other discipline.
Homing pigeons are in no way prepared for their mission, by use of geography; fish are kept away from the study of oceanography; cattle, sheep, calves are unaware of the sensible layout of a modern slaughterhouse, and do not know their nutritional role in the society that was formed by Man.
Nur wenige Tiere haben den Vorteil der menschliche Bildung.
Der Hund, das Maultier, das Pferd, der Esel, der Papagei, die Amsel und ein paar andere sind die einzigen Tiere, die einen Anschein von Unterricht empfangen.
Allerdings in diesem Fall ist es mehr eine Erziehung wie irgendetwas anderes. Vergleichen Sie bitte diese Anweisung, um die von der Hochschule zu einem Junggeselle menschlichen gegeben, und Sie sehen, daß es leer ist und nicht zu verlängern oder zu erleichtern das Wissen, daß das Tier durch seine Arbeit für seine Anwesenheit, sie zu erwerben,.
Aber musikalisch?
