1-0 out of 5 stars Delivery too long
I ordered this on August 5th.It is now August 27th. I don't think I have to say anything else to make my point.

4-0 out of 5 stars Content high, binding low
Satie's work has always fascinated me.Playfulness, melancholy, and simplicity - and always easy to recognize.The scoring is, to my not expert ear, very well done and easy to read.I would rate this 5 stars were it not for the deplorable predilection of print music publishers to bind books such that they do not open and lay flat on the piano without breaking the binding.Music is to be played first and last and not, at least not for old fogies like me, just read.

5-0 out of 5 stars Excellent compilation
I have tried to find such a compilation for so long that I almost quit, until I tried amazon. It is very easy to read and the translation is very nice.
Very recommended for any Satie fan and player.

5-0 out of 5 stars Gymnopedies, Gnossiennes and Other Works for Piano
This is a very nice and large collection of Satie's works for piano.All of the pieces are reproduced from the original publications and Satie's comments in the original French are included and translated on the bottomof the pages.All three versions of Gymnopedies are there, but only thefirst 3 Gnossiennes.Many of Satie's compositions aren't divided intomeasures and it is very interesting to see how he actually wrote the musicwith his comments.Pieces like the Gnossiennes should be listened tobefore you actually play them.A good interpretation of all 6 is the CDSatie, 3 Gymnopedies and other piano works by Pascal Roge.Mr. Rogeinterprets the music beautifully.Then you can play them.Some of theother works included in this book are Sarabandes, Pieces froides (veryinteresting music), Embryons desseches, Morceaux en frome de Poire andthere are 3 pieces written for 4 hands.

5-0 out of 5 stars Great analysis of Satie's music
I think this book is a "must-read" for whom likes Erik Satie's musik and new tendencies "modern music". The book price is really interesting, and as says Descartes: "L'on fait mieux des oeufs avec del'eau qu'un hydrocéphale". ... Read more

Product Description

A composer who dabbled in the Dada movement, a Bohemian “gymnopédiste” of fin-de-siècle Montmartre, and a legendary dresser known as “The Velvet Gentleman,” Erik Satie cut a unique figure among early twentieth-century European composers. Yet his legacy has largely languished in the shadows of Stravinsky, Debussy, and Ravel. Mary E. Davis now brings Satie to life in this fascinating new biography.

Satie redefined the composer’s art, devising new methods of artistic expression that melded ordinary and rarified elements of words, visual art, and music. Davis argues that Satie’s modernist aesthetic was grounded in the contradictions of his life—such as enrolling in the conservative Schola Cantorum after working as a cabaret performer—and is reflected in his irreverent essays, drawn art, and music.  Erik Satie explores how the composer was embraced by avant-garde artists and fashionable Parisian elite, and how his experiences inspired him to create the musical style of Neoclassicism. Satie also employed the power of the image through his infamous fashion statements, Davis contends, and became part of a nascent celebrity culture.

A cogent and informative portrait, Erik Satie upends the accepted history of modernist music and restores the composer to his rightful pioneering status.

Product Description
In Paris, at the turn of the twentieth century, when artists were experimenting with new ways of seeing things, Erik Satie had something new to say about music. Most people didn't understand his pieces; critics called his music surreal. But Erik Satie didn't care. He wanted to make music that followed no rules but its own. Satie's life was strange and wonderful, frenetic and lonely all at the same time. He was friends with Picasso, and with wizards and puppeteers; he scraped himself with a stone instead of bathing, and he once threw his acrobat girlfriend out a window. Now award-winning author M. T. Anderson tells the story of the irreverent French composer in a biography that is witty, accessible, and endlessly surprising, while Petra Mathers' fanciful illustrations capture all the vibrancy that was Erik Satie's topsy-turvy world.

5-0 out of 5 stars A Composer Children Can Love
I read this beautiful book to my daughter (not quite 4 years old) for the first time while listening to Satie's music, and she was entranced. She frequently requests repeated readings, and makes me stop periodically to just listen to the music. The pictures and words are a perfect compliment to this odd man and his enchanting music, without sugar-coating the difficulties that so often accompany genius. I will seek out more books by this writer and artist.

5-0 out of 5 stars This is an excellent book
This is an excellent book. My son wondered why Mr. Satie was referred to as "strange," and his question was soon answered.M.T. Anderson gives some amusing anecdotes about this composer who was relatively unknown and quite poor during his lifetime. One example is that Mr. Satie did not take baths, but rather rubbed himself with a stone to get clean.How clean we wondered?The book creates an interest to hear Satie's music and is educational. ...

5-0 out of 5 stars Excellent!
My used book came exactly as advertised, in perfect condition, and when it was expected. Thank you, Bookmans, and also to Amazon.com for permitting me to hook up with this small book dealer! "Satie Remembered" turned out to be a terrific book -- full of newly-translated material not found elsewhere.

4-0 out of 5 stars Erik Satie: an obsession for creativity
The Orledge's Satie Remembered, translated into English by Roger Nichols, is a nice suprise for those who wants to build up a picture of who was and what was importance of Satie to modern music. Through a collection of writings of his acquaintances, artists friends (e.g. Ravel, Debussy, Stravisnky), and even people who did not go along with him, we learn a lot of his genius and a sort of obsessive thrive to innovate, to create and introduce new concepts based on his particular views and the way he saw not only music, but art in its several forms and his excentricity in a Paris from the beginning of XIX Century. It is amazing that you can find 1,250,000 citations about E. Satie at Google, but for sure it is much more pleasant and worthwhile to know who was Satie through Orledge's book. I recommend this book and congratulate the author for his fine job. ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars Better Than a Novel
This excellent biography is rich with the flavor and color of Bohemian Montmartre. Satie lived in Paris, and what a cast of characters he knew there: Ravel, Debussy, Stravinsky, Picasso, Cocteau, Faure, Chabrier, Poulenc, Milhaud, Leger, Derain, Braque, and others. Here is his affair with Suzanne Valadon, the mother of artist Maurice Utrillo. His involvements with Socialism and Rosicrucianism. His poverty and his contempt for money and convention. This book is more personal than musical. One does not need a musical background to appreciate this story of the eccentric hermit of Arcueil, who became a cult figure after his death from alcohol. ...

I purchased this book thinking it was a biography, but to my surprise it was mostly a collection of pictures, paintings of Erik and some of his scores that attempt to show you the various stages of the composers life. From the Mister Pauper to the Erik who is Satierik.If your looking for anin depth biography of the composer you've come to the wrong place. Nonetheless an excellent collection of Satie pictures and paintings. ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars I Must Agree!
Gillmor's is the best Satie bio you can find. I've read others but this one is the most complete and thorough, going from analyses of "Vexations" and his more occultic deviations to his artistic associations with other artists of the era. It's a highly technical, personal and yet readable bio and a must for anyone with an ear for the avant garde or just good music! Bravo!

4-0 out of 5 stars Informative, scholarly and enjoyable
Gillmor's `Erik Satie' is a detailed and scholarly work while at the same time being extremely readable.It cannot be compared with either Myers's flamboyant `Erik Satie' or Shattuck's `The Banquet Years' both are excellent, but each is written from a different perspective with a different purpose and focus. It seems likely that the author of the Library Journal review (posted here), either knew nothing about Satie and avant garde music or only scanned Gillmor's book. Having read all three and studied Satie and avant garde music as part of my university course, the library review seems quite foolish.

Gillmor's book provides a great deal more factual information and analysis on Satie and his work, than both Myer's and Shattuck's books, and it is essential (as well as enjoyable) reading for anyone with a serious interest in Satie, avant garde music or a desire to understand the origins and development of 20th century music.

4-0 out of 5 stars Query?
Hello,
This is not a review of my book, 'Erik Satie,' but rather a query. I am wondering why you choose to reprint a rather shabby treatment of the book from an insignificant publication such as 'Library Journal' when the book enjoyed almost uniformly excellent reviews in the major scholarly press world-wide (e.g., 'Musical Quarterly,' 'Musical Times,' 'Music and Letters,' 'Music Review,' etc.) not to speak of a glowing major review in the prestigious 'New York Review of Books' by the distinguished scholar Roger Shattuck? The 'Library Review' items are hastily written thumbnail sketches of a single paragraph aimed at busy librarians, not thoughtful major reviews written by specialists in the field. Considering that Amazon is in the business of selling books, the reproduction of this rather negative paragraph rather than one of the numerous glowing reviews from scholars far better placed than Ms. Kiraly is puzzling. It does both Amazon and myself a disservice. Now that the book is out of print it probably doesn't matter. But I would be pleased to provide a full dossier of reviews if you wished. At the very least I would be pleased if you would pull Kiraly's superficial paragraph. It really does misrepresent the book, unless you believe that all the other reviewers are wrong. Thank you. Sincerely, Alan M. Gillmor PS: I filled in the star rating only because it was mandatory! ... Read more

Product Description
"In its equally deceptive artlessness, Templier's aesthetic-personal vignette of Crin-Crin (as Satie was known to his family) leaves the impression of a rather disagreeable, fiercely independent figure whose droll calligraphic doodles, and delicately perfect musical penmanship, sampled in the present volume, are more than a little characteristic of the man and his legacy."
Los Angeles Times

1-0 out of 5 stars Incredibly Ridiculously Boring
This book was undoubtedly the worst book I've ever gone through the pain of reading. In school, we needed to read a biography on a famous person at one point. I chose Erik Satie, one of my favorite classical composers (I'm a music geek), and I was intrigued by the hilarious stories I had read in a children's book about him one time. But upon opening the book, I had to suffer through the pages. The writing was written in a way that ruined the humor Satie had. A biography about Erik Satie could have a lot of potential as he was one of the funniest and oddest people to walk the Earth. But Myers wrote in a style that was meant to sound intelligent, that made even one of the most interesting people something to read about that would put you write to sleep. Then, to make things worse, Myers included quotes of Satie's... But in his native French language; not English like the book was meant to be written in. The humor behind those quotes was lost. (Some I looked up later, or could figure out with the limited French that I knew at the time). Also the funny titles that Satie named his pieces (Three Pieces In The Shape Of A Pear, Dessicated Embryos, Flabby Preludes for a Dog, among others), were all written in the original French. Again losing the humor.

This is a terribly boring and poorly written book. The only reason one should buy it is if they are struggling with bouts of insomnia. This book might be able to cure them. ... Read more

Product Description
The composer Erik Satie (1866-1925) came of age in the bohemian sub-culture of Montmartre, with its artists' cabarets and cafes-concerts.These colorful milieux decisively shaped his aesthetic priorities and compositional strategies, from the esoteric Gymnopedies of the 1880s to the avant-garde ballets of the 1920s.Moore Whiting makes this radical transvaluation of received artistic values more understandable by placing it in the full context of bohemian Montmartre. ...
