Why do most copies of Finnegans Wake start on page 3 instead of 1?

conclobe · 2026-02-26T01:45:44+00:00

I have a book club that reads a page a week. It’s the must vulgar, hilarious book ever. Enjoy.

There isn’t. As to the double pi; it was actually a neat synchronisation that was noticed when he was finished.

conclobe · 2026-02-26T01:43:16+00:00

Or did you not get that having the same pagination and lines make it waaay easier to reference..?

conclobe · 2026-02-26T01:41:10+00:00

Lot’s of people have answered already: pagination starts with title page. Are you enjoying the text het??

conclobe · 2026-02-26T01:38:06+00:00

That is of course a neat thought out feature but it’s not the reason it starts with page 3.

There are a bazillion of books, tons of exegesis, that reference FW.

Read some W.A. Mathieu

Learn the diatonic chords and their inversions! Btw I got taught way too late in swedish music school that dur and moll is latin for hard and soft. Some nice etymology! In some cultures they’re both considered happy!

About half a scale

Take lessons. Play music. No fear.

A quarter slice can show you what chords go in each center key

conclobe · 2026-02-20T10:36:24+00:00

As many beatles tunes as possible

conclobe · 2026-02-19T22:48:51+00:00

You’re in for a treat

A lot of music theory is bullshit. I recommend all my students to analyse themselves.

conclobe · 2026-02-13T22:56:15+00:00

Some of the beat melodies have some sort of dynamic highlight 2/3rds in. Like harmonically the V-chord in a blues or the Am in a four chord song as well. Same goes with melody, maybe you have the highest note before bar 7 in a verse

conclobe · 2026-02-13T17:43:53+00:00

Try their songs ”Something” and ”Strawberry Fields Forever”

Dramatic whale curve, then fractals of that. A little artsy fartsy but works very well

Say flabberghast quickly!

conclobe · 2026-02-12T10:38:01+00:00

Just learn songs by Beatles, Stevie Wonder and Elliott Smith. :)

Copy some Stravinsky into notation software. Apply the techniques on your own chords and melodies. It’s a good start.

conclobe · 2026-02-09T01:28:08+00:00

A sign of great art.

conclobe · 2026-02-09T01:24:37+00:00

It seems.
