Listening Through The Dictionary of Composers and Their Music
Erik Satie (1866-1925)
Bio
Eric Alfred Leslie Satie was born in Normandy, France. He studied at the Paris Conservatoire but was expelled and did not remember the place fondly in his writings. He joined the military but had an equally uninspiring military career. He was deeply influenced by Debussy, Ravel, and d'Indy in a second academic career at the Schola Cantorum. Satie's relationship with his fellow composers was uneven and dramatic but ultimately his iconoclastic approach endured.
