Composed in 1893, Vexations is a musical piece that consists of a short theme repeated 840 times. Satie’s work is a meditative exploration of repetition and endurance, both for the performer and the audience. The piece’s slow tempo and subtle variations create a hypnotic effect, inviting listeners to engage with the passage of time in a deeply introspective manner.
