was thinking abt this again and bc i’m annoying i clocked that it’s a recording by deutsche grammophon by the little yellow header, so between that and lestat saying that martha argerich seems to have retired, i did some digging and the piece he’s playing is the adagio assai/the second of three movements of ravel’s piano concerto in g major.
well. turns out that this concerto was inspired by two idioms: basque folk melodies, and jazz melodies that ravel heard during a world tour in the 1920s. the first and last movements definitely integrate the two, but the middle movement is considerably more serene and tranquil in comparison
tldr lestat soothes himself with music that reminds him of both himself and louis. screaming crying etc

i’ve said it before and better but literally. clip show “now you’re infecting my memory with your memory, and i can’t even remember my own life correctly” . that’s what happens with roller rink. we Know of course that’s not what happened. it’s Them telling the story, there’s some element of they truly believe this happened, that’s how They remember it, but on some level they’re each aware this is all their fantasies. it’s like. remember when i was cool and nice and successful and you all liked me and yeah i do remember that of course i remember that. it’s warmer and softer. they’re almost fifty and still Stuck. it would hurt too much. they were always destined to end up like this. but remember when we weren’t. it was some cruel twist of fate that made us like that do you remember. i remember! life was Good. we both know it wasn’t. and we both know it isn’t now. but that’s what memories do, you can twist them into something more comfortable. something that fits with your current narrative. “you can’t do this. every time you misremember something you like run the risk of altering reality …. i’m saying like how you remember something sort of like, becomes reality …. no it doesn’t change reality. reality is reality i’m just saying it becomes your reality” so let’s make this our reality. let’s play pretend.
