Just as his version of the sonata told a more coherent story than Watts's, Kissin evoked the death knell, booming drums and roaring cannon of a funeral tribute to Hungarian patriots in "Funerailles" and the restless peregrination of Senancour's hero in the "Vallee d'Obermann."

jrome commented on the word peregrination
He started to become more aware of the peregrinations he had to make while trying to reach a destination. "I finally understood just how much roads actually wind," he says. He learned to deal with the stares he got in the library, his belt humming like a distant chain saw. Deep into the experiment, Wächter says, "I suddenly realized that my perception had shifted. I had some kind of internal map of the city in my head. I could always find my way home. Eventually, I felt I couldn't get lost, even in a completely new place."
