Not directly related to Proust, except for the fact that it was composed and premiered in 1913, is Prokofiev's Piano concerto nº 2, Op 16 in g minor.

Prokofiev was actually traveling through Paris when he was preparing himself to play the piano part at the première in August 2013 in Pavlovsk.

Eugene,

Thank you for sharing your opinion on the Morgan exhibit. For those of us who cannot go to NY now, it is very helpful. What a shame that the original first sentence of the work could not be read in the dim display.

Your criticism of the weaker aspects of the exhibition are very convincing.

But still, you and Marcelita are lucky that you could go and have a look at the Cahiers...

I keep looking to see if Paris organizes a worthwhile homage to Proust's 100 years, but so far I have not found anything major.

Also, you write beautifully.

You are correct, Eugene has a true voice; I love reading his thoughts.
Oh, and you will not be surprised to learn that Eugene is "the" genuine gentleman.

Terriic blog, Eugene. I went to the last Rhinebeck festival and was blown away by how big and wonderful it is. I'm planning to go to next one. Hopefully, I can make my way to the Morgan before the show is over. I've got a lot on my plate right now.

And my earnest apologies to Antoine Compagnon, BnF, the Cultural Services of the French Embassy and those responsible at The Morgan Library & Museum as my imaginary check book is larger than your real ones.

[ReemK10 (Paper Pills)]

Marcelita wrote: ‘For it seemed to me that they would not be ‘my’ readers but the readers of their own selves… with its [the book’s] help I would furnish them with the means of reading what lay inside themselves."

This is certainly true, but isn't this at odds with

"If we visited Mars or Venus while keeping the same senses," he writes, "they would clothe everything we could see in the same aspect as the things of Earth." Perhaps, Marcel speculates, the code of habituated perception eventually becomes too hard for the artistic code-breakers to crack. He adapts the metaphor of travel to point to the all-too familiar truth he suspects may apply to the artistic realm: Wherever I go, there I am." (I wont cite because of spoilers)


What position are we to take while reading ISOLT? Do we bring ourselves along or do we look through Proust's eyes only?

Yeah there is much going on here, I confine myself to current discussions of the reading, Aux. Readings, Links & Events and/or where I may have posted a comment and let all else go.

Morgan/Proust: Marcelita, of course they rearranged the books--so easy to do--but this week they corrected the caption on the schoot photo, if you didn't know, eagle eye :-)

Oh, Eugene! You have been in my thoughts all day; I am just leaving for The Morgan lecture and will try to ask about a website with the corrections in "real time."

I spoke with The Morgan curator; they were only able to link to the BnF directly. I am still transfixed...looking at Antoine page through the galleys. http://expositions.bnf.fr/proust/albu...
PS AC did speak about the first line...and showed all the transformations! However, he did it so quickly that the pages flashed by. As I taped that one segment with my phone, my karma bank has depreciated. Still, if you email me, I will attempt to send you the poor quality video.

They rearranged the books, after AC noticed the incorrect order. Apparently, the books were correct-prior to a photo shoot; however, one of the photographers replaced them in the wrong order.

If you use Firefox web browser, you can download a small add on called dwhelper. This tiny program detects when video or music is streaming and lets you download it. I used to use it to save YouTube videos. If the dwhelper program works on that site you can then convert it to audio with another program. In theory it can be done but might need some research/time :)

2010-2011 WYLIE PRIZE IN FRENCH CULTURAL STUDIES

BRIAN MARTIN
Williams College; author of Napoleonic Friendship: Military Fraternity, Intimacy, and Sexuality in 19th-Century France

Queer Napoleon: from Napoleonic Friendship to Gays in the Military

Based on extensive archival research in France, Napoleonic Friendship traces the development of affectionate friendships in the French Army from 1789 to 1916. Following the French Revolution, radical military reforms created conditions for new physical and emotional intimacy between soldiers, establishing a model of fraternal affection during the Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars that would persist amid the ravages of the Franco-Prussian War and World War I.

Sponsored by Dean of the Humanities, Department of French, and Institute of French Studies

Bard Graduate Center

Dressing for the Faubourg St. Germain: Fin de Siècle Fashion in Proust (Gallery Program)
Date: Thursday, May 16, 2013
Time: 6:00 pm – 8:00 pm
Place: 38 West 86th Street
COST: $20.00 General Admission $15.00 Students and Seniors
212-501-3011, programs@bgc.bard.edu
Description: 6 pm reception-7 pm lecture

For Marcel Proust, the evocative, multivalent aspects of clothing made it a fascinating and serious object of study. Characters such as the aristocratic dandy the Baron de Charlus, and the supremely elegant Duchesse de Guermantes are each associated with a highly distinctive style. In this lecture, Michele Majer will examine turn-of-the-century fashion and the ways in which Proust used dress to reveal the personalities of his characters and to deconstruct the meanings of their sartorial choices.

Michele Majer is an assistant professor at BGC and a research associate at Cora Ginsburg, LLC, New York City.

I agree, that wouldn't be right at all. I'll delete the post. Thanks Marcelita for pointing this out to me.

With so much information "out there," it can be confusing what is free and what is still under copyright. I am sure I have done the same, unknowingly.

Oh, I'm sorry, Nick, I set up that group as a private one so that our conversations would not be seen by all and sundry - security, you know, we don't want everyone on the web to know when we won't be at home, although I must say that there is a killer cat here guarding this property while I'm away.
