Épreuves corrigées "Kiel et Tanger 1895-1905. La république française devant l'Europe"

Proofs corrected by Henri Michaux of his text "In the changing water of resonances", published in issue 22 of Cahiers du Chemin , dated October 1974. 7 pages with autograph corrections with ballpoint pen and pencil. Stamp of Floch printing on the first page.
Michaux writes "In the Changing Water of Resonances" at the end of his life, and completes his reflections on music thus evoked in First Impressions (1949) and A Certain Phenomenon Called Music (1958). In this ode to Sanza , a modest instrument of Congolese origin, he explores the possibilities of a vibrant music, which invests space and offers its "texture" to the amazed senses of the listener. Devoting an unparalleled hatred for Western "competitive, compositional" music, he finds in the simple sounds of this rudimentary instrument a lonely, dynamic purity that reconciles him with the entire genre he had left to the crowds and "Simple people". The proof corrected shows the last changes made by the author: scansion of text by new commas, replacement of certain words, addition of capital letters to each insertion of poems in the body of the text - poems acting as sound descriptions of his musical experience.
Precious genetic testimony of Michaux's thought on music.
