    • Summary:"This is the largest selection of Erik Satie's writings yet to appear in English."--back cover.
    • Notes:"Dismissed as a bizarre eccentric by many, Erik Satie has come to be seen as a key influence on 20th- and 21st-century music. His compositions include, among other works, the ubiquitous Gymnopédies, the Three Pieces in the Form of a Pear and the Dadaist opera Relâche. In later life he gathered round him Les Six, the cream of the new generation of French composers and his influence has continued to widen; John Cage and the New York School composers hailed him as "indispensable", and more recently certain of his pieces have been seen as prefiguring both minimalist and ambient music."--back cover.
