In addition to the incadescent significance of the Rite of Spring, I chose these albums for the works that accompany it, all influenced by the telluric dithyramb that has haunted us since 1913, and its cosmic (Haydn) and Russian (Petrushka) predecessors, as well as the Magician's voice himself ...

And, raising his voice: “In November
we put The Rite of  Spring on the project board. ”
- “1, 2, 3, 1 aaaand 2 aaaand 3” —cried
Mirta, laughing and clapping. And, carried
by Gaspar, he went round in round
the roof, singing and dancing: “1 and 2 and
3 ... 3…¡qué paso más chévere! / ¡Qué paso
más chévere / el de mi conga es!” ”
- "This, Vera, deserves a drink" - said
Gaspar, going back to my seat ... The
night, they both left, and 1, 2, 3, 1 aaaand
2 aaaand 3, I counted for myself when
I was alone, replacing the
Anna Pávlova sneaker in her little
showcase, next to my beautiful edition of the
Letters about dance where the teacher
Noverre had written, in 1760: “The
Ballets did not happen, so far, to be shy sketches of what will become
someday.” 1, 2, 3, 1 aaand 2 aaand 3 ..
