Tracking the mysterious 'Miss Monkey'
on: April 02, 2020, 07:56:36 PM
Here is an interesting mystery for these difficult times. A 'little ballad in ape-like style' was published in the February 1904 edition of a French musical journal under the authorship of a certain 'Miss Monkey'. As you can hear from my video:

or see from the score:

, it is written in whole-tone style. I guess it is a satirical look at musical trends current at the time, and my money would be on it having been written by the journal's editor, Gabriel Pierné - but I would be grateful for any other ideas. The lack of musical resolution also puts me in mind of Vladimir Rebikov, but would he have been penning anonymous pieces for Parisian journals at this time? I have also posed the same question on the Reddit piano group, so I hope someone might know something about this strange piece.
