Today’s class saw us visiting the Percy Grainger Museum, located right next to Melbourne Uni. It was really interesting to see how someone can literally put themselves into a place. The museum is actually autobiographical. So Percy had actually created the place himself, sending important belongings and things that made up his life over to the museum to be preserved. It got me pondering about the many ways someone can live on. For someone like Percy, a famous composer, his memory would forever live on in the music he created. However this clearly wasn’t enough to satisfy him. My interpretation is that all these other aspects of his life featured in his museum contributed to the way that he was able to create his music, and without them, things might’ve been entirely different for him. Percy thought it important that his memory encompassed everything that he thought made him who he is.
