Happy Birthday Erik Satie! Erik Satie would have been 148 years - TopicsExpress



          

Happy Birthday Erik Satie! Erik Satie would have been 148 years old today but who was he actually? This composer who lived in poverty allowed nobody to have an insight into his private life. He loved the masquerade, self-staging and costumes: there are even 12 different kinds of his signature! He opposed the antiquated academicism of the Conservatoire just as he opposed French Wagnerism. The result was a music sans sauce (without sauce), basically simple, modest, ungarnished but furnished with short texts and directions for playing which generations of musicians have tried to unravel. Do you want to know more? Saties works which are performed the most are the Gymnopédies und Gnossiennes. How about trying out our editions? The Satie specialist Steffen Schleiermacher guides you through the pieces. baerenreiter/en/search/product/?artNo=BA10806 baerenreiter/en/search/product/?artNo=BA10807
