These two fascinating works are combined into one volume that
includes an interesting biography, background information on the
writing of the music, indispensable performance suggestions and a
listing of recommended readings and recordings.
This is the largest selection, in any language, of the writings of
Erik Satie (1866-1925). Although once dismissed as an eccentric,
Satie has come to be seen as a key influence on modern music, and
his writings reveal him as one of the most beguiling of absurdists,
in the mode of Lewis Carroll or Edward Lear--but with a strong
streak of Dadaism (a movement in which he participated). The
nonconformism of Satie's private life seems deliberately
calculated: he assumed various personae at different periods of his
life, from the mystical "velvet gentleman" to the Dadaist disguised
as quizzical bureaucrat. His poignant, sly and witty writings
embody all of his contradictions. Included here are his
"autobiographical" "Memoirs of an Amnesic"; gnomic annotations to
his musical scores ("For the Shrivelled and the Dimwits, I have
written a suitably ponderous chorale I dedicate this chorale to
those who do not like me"); the publications of his private church;
his absurdist play "Medusa's Snare"; advertising copy for his local
suburban newspaper; and the mysterious, calligraphed "private
advertisements" found stuffed behind his piano after his death.
Satie referred to himself as "a man in the manner of Adam (he of
Paradise)" and added: "My humor is reminiscent of Cromwell's.I am
also indebted to Christopher Columbus, as the American spirit has
sometimes tapped me on the shoulder, and I have joyfully felt its
ironically icy bite." He died as he lived: "without quite ceasing
to smile."
(Schirmer Performance Editions). Six short pieces from Satie's
early years, which capture the composer's graceful
unconventionality. With historical and performance notes.
Intermediate Level.

Though originally composed for piano four-hands, Satie was
persuaded to orchestrate these pieces for a concert staged by Jean
Cocteau presented on 21 February 1920 featuring works by Milhaud,
Poulenc, and Auric. This digitally-enhanced study score is an
unabridged reprint of the first edition issued in 1921 by Editions
de la Sirene, Paris.
