GYMNOPEDIE #1 ERIK SATIE

In his own words...

A true musician "grows in wisdom...

He is brilliant...

He learns to do without and is prepared to make great sacrifices...

enormous sacrifices... 

if I may say...

His energy is tremendous... 

In other words he is prepared for the struggle...

and with honesty he shall fight it... 

The performance of an Art demands complete self-denial... 

...It was not meant as a joke what I just said...

about sacrifices... 

The Music makes heavy demands upon those who want to devote themselves in it...

This is what I have wanted you to call your attention to... 

A true musician must subordinate himself to his Art; 

...he must place himself above human suffering; 

..he must draw courage from within

...and only from within." 

Erik Satie

ERIK SATIE

Satie is pronounced: “sah-tee” 

“ GYMNOPEDIE” 
is a composed word which Satie derivated 
from two ancient Greek words:

"gymnasion"= school for gymnastics and, by extension, school for boys and girls

"paidos"= child, boy

The Three Gymnopedies (1888)

are the most famous of his piano works.

BORN:  May 17, 1866

DIED:  July 1, 1925

SATIE QUOTE:  

"I have never written a note I didn't mean." 

SATIE QUOTE:  

"I was tired of being reproached with an ignorance of which I thought I must be guilty, since competent people pointed it out in my works."

SATIE QUOTE:  

“Before I compose a piece, I walk around it several times, accompanied by myself.”

SATIE QUOTE:  

“I came into the world very young, in an age that was very old.”

SATIE QUOTE:  

"My dream is to be played everywhere, not only at the Opera."

Noted for his early 20th century Parisian avant-garde, experimental style; 
eccentric and economical.

Satie was lauded as a forerunner of modern music; 

a precursor to later artistic movements 
such as minimalism, repetitive music, 

and the Theatre of the Absurd.

Self portrait by Satie

He was a French composer and pianist.

His mostly short piano works are

spare and unconventional.

He was the quintessential "artist's artist,"

a man who, as one critic wrote,

"had the no-doubt gratifying sensation of seeing

the times catch up with him."

This is the background music to the melody.
