Erik Satie
Rollo H. Myers (Autor)
"This book is the first extended study in English of Satie. Its aim is both to bring his music to a wider public and to demonstrate the importance of his pioneering work in contemporary music and the influence he has had on some of this century's leading composers. It begins with a long biographical essay and then analyses and explanations of such Satie compositions as the Sarabandes, the three Gymnopédies, the songs, and the four ballets -- Upsud, Parade, Mercure, and Relâche. Themes, innovations, styles, public reaction, interpretation, and other pertinent matters are discussed. The final chapters cover Satie's character, his role in contemporary music, and his important writings, quoting from autobiographical essays, articles, letters, conversations, and the famous Mémoires d'un Amnésique to present Satie's theories of music"-- Page 4 of cover
