Venus In Furs | The Velvet Underground & Nico | 4K Music Video

Описание: "Venus in Furs" is a song by the Velvet Underground, written by Lou Reed and originally released on the band's 1967 debut album The Velvet Underground & Nico. Inspired by the book of the same name by Leopold von Sacher-Masoch, the song includes sexual themes of sadomasochism and bondage.

"Venus in Furs" was one of three songs to be re-recorded, in May 1966 at TTG Studios in Hollywood, before appearing on the final mix of The Velvet Underground & Nico (the other two being "Heroin" and "I'm Waiting for the Man"). The arrangement features John Cale's electric viola as well as two tracks of Lou Reed's electric guitar, one tuned to D G C F A C and the other in ostrich tuning. Guitarist Sterling Morrison played bass guitar on the song, but according to Cale, who was the band's usual bassist, Morrison never cared for playing the instrument. The backbeat consists of two bass drum beats and one tambourine hit, played at a slow pace by Maureen Tucker.

The Title Venus in Furs was inspired by a novella by the Austrian author Leopold von Sacher-Masoch, and the best known of his works. The novel was to be part of an epic series that
Sacher-Masoch envisioned called Legacy of Cain . Venus in Furs was part of Love , the first volume of the series. It was published in 1870.

The novel draws themes, like female dominance and sadomasochism, and character inspiration heavily from Sacher-Masoch's own life. Wanda von Dunajew, the novel's central female character, was modelled after Fanny Pistor, who was an emerging literary writer. The two met when Pistor contacted Sacher-Masoch, under the assumed name and fictitious title of Baroness Bogdanoff, for suggestions on improving her writing to make it suitable for publication.
