Erik Satie (1866-1925) was a quirky, innovative and enigmatic
composer whose impact has spread far beyond the musical world. As
an artist active in several spheres - from cabaret to religion,
from calligraphy to poetry and playwriting - and collaborator with
some of the leading avant-garde figures of the day, including
Cocteau, Picasso, Diaghilev and Rene Clair, he was one of few
genuinely cross-disciplinary composers. His artistic activity,
during a tumultuous time in the Parisian art world, situates him in
an especially exciting period, and his friendships with Debussy,
Stravinsky and others place him at the centre of French musical
life. He was a unique figure whose art is immediately recognisable,
whatever the medium he employed. Erik Satie: Music, Art and
Literature explores many aspects of Satie's creativity to give a
full picture of this most multifaceted of composers. The focus is
on Satie's philosophy and psychology revealed through his music;
Satie's interest in and participation in artistic media other than
music, and Satie's collaborations with other artists. This book is
therefore essential reading for anyone interested in the French
musical and cultural scene of the late nineteenth and early
twentieth century.
