Erik Satie

A musical composer who dabbled in the Dada movement, a Bohemian ‘gymnopédiste’ of fin-de-siècle Montmartre, and a legendary dresser known as ‘The Velvet Gentleman’ for his sartorial choices, Erik Satie was nearly unprecedented in technique, style and philosophy among European composers in the early twentieth century. This book tells his story.

Compozitor muzical care a cochetat cu miscarea Dada, ,,gimnopedist" boem al Montmartre-ului de sfarsit de secol si creator de moda legendar, cunoscut sub numele de ,,Gentlemanul de catifea" pentru alegerile sale vestimentare, Erik Satie a fost aproape fara precedent in ceea ce priveste tehnica, stilul si filosofia printre compozitorii europeni de la inceputul secolului al XX-lea. Aceasta carte spune povestea sa.
