"Mozart's desiring-machine? "Raise your ass to
your mouth, ... ah, my ass burns like fire, but what can be the meaning
of that? Perhaps a turd wants to come out. . . . Yes, yes, turd, I know
you, I see you, I feel you. What is this—is such a thing possible?"*
*From a letter by Mozart, cited by Marcel More, Le Dim Mozart et le monde des okeaux ("Paris: Galliniard,
1971), p. 124: "Having come of age, he found the means of concealing his divine essence, by indulging in
scatological amusements." More shows convincingly how the scatological machine works underneath and
against the Oedipal "cage." A/O 325

A brief but interesting discussion comparing some of the differences
between Stavinsky and Mozart, and Stravinsky's interest in using
'the language neo-classical music ' in a 'modern' way.
