NOTE FROM THE REVIEWER: In order to write the review 840 times in succession, it would be advisable to prepare oneself beforehand, and in the deepest silence, by serious immobilities - or write a computer program.
According to John Cage: "If something is boring after two minutes, try it for four. If still boring, then eight. Then sixteen. Then thirty-two. Eventually one discovers that it is not boring at all." No wonder he was the first person to organise a complete performance of Erik Satie's Vexations - assuming, that is, that Satie actually meant it to be performed at all.
Certainly I found during the first twenty-six repetitions (after which I had to leave, as my parking meter was due to expire) that the music actually became more interesting; with each repetition I was noticing things which I had never heard before.
Around noon on Friday, Christopher Reiche, sat on his piano bench, armed with a banana, a bottle of water and a container of blueberries, in front of an audience of around ten people and said "I'm just going to start".
At 11:45 on Saturday, he finished the 840th repetition. Again the audience was about ten or a dozen strong; judging by the live internet stream there was at least one person present who had also been present at the beginning - or shortly thereafter. Had he been present throughout? We shall probably never know.
A remarkable feat of musicianship and stamina. In fact it reminds me of something John Cage once wrote...

Around noon on Friday, Christopher Reiche, sat on his piano bench, armed with a banana, a bottle of water and a container of blueberries, in front of an audience of around ten people and said "I'm just going to start".
At 11:45 on Saturday, he finished the 840th repetition. Again the audience was about ten or a dozen strong; judging by the live internet stream there was at least one person present who had also been present at the beginning - or shortly thereafter. Had he been present throughout? We shall probably never know.

Around noon on Friday, Christopher Reiche, sat on his piano bench, armed with a banana, a bottle of water and a container of blueberries, in front of an audience of around ten people and said "I'm just going to start".
At 11:45 on Saturday, he finished the 840th repetition. Again the audience was about ten or a dozen strong; judging by the live internet stream there was at least one person present who had also been present at the beginning - or shortly thereafter. Had he been present throughout? We shall probably never know.

Around noon on Friday, Christopher Reiche, sat on his piano bench, armed with a banana, a bottle of water and a container of blueberries, in front of an audience of around ten people and said "I'm just going to start".
At 11:45 on Saturday, he finished the 840th repetition. Again the audience was about ten or a dozen strong; judging by the live internet stream there was at least one person present who had also been present at the beginning - or shortly thereafter. Had he been present throughout? We shall probably never know.

Around noon on Friday, Christopher Reiche, sat on his piano bench, armed with a banana, a bottle of water and a container of blueberries, in front of an audience of around ten people and said "I'm just going to start".
At 11:45 on Saturday, he finished the 840th repetition. Again the audience was about ten or a dozen strong; judging by the live internet stream there was at least one person present who had also been present at the beginning - or shortly thereafter. Had he been present throughout? We shall probably never know.

Around noon on Friday, Christopher Reiche, sat on his piano bench, armed with a banana, a bottle of water and a container of blueberries, in front of an audience of around ten people and said "I'm just going to start".
At 11:45 on Saturday, he finished the 840th repetition. Again the audience was about ten or a dozen strong; judging by the live internet stream there was at least one person present who had also been present at the beginning - or shortly thereafter. Had he been present throughout? We shall probably never know.

Around noon on Friday, Christopher Reiche, sat on his piano bench, armed with a banana, a bottle of water and a container of blueberries, in front of an audience of around ten people and said "I'm just going to start".
At 11:45 on Saturday, he finished the 840th repetition. Again the audience was about ten or a dozen strong; judging by the live internet stream there was at least one person present who had also been present at the beginning - or shortly thereafter. Had he been present throughout? We shall probably never know.
