Erik Satie

    Erik Satie was an eccentric French composer and pianist who emerged as a colorful figure in the early 20th-century Parisian avant-garde. His innovative musical works served as a precursor to later artistic movements such as minimalism and repetitive music. Satie referred to himself as a "phonometrician" and, in addition to his music, left behind a remarkable body of writings that contributed to various publications. His distinctive approach to art and life makes him a compelling figure for enthusiasts of both music and literature.

      Knížka HUDEBNÍ DIALOGY oslovuje nejen milovníky klasické hudby, ale i ty, kdo se zajímají o lidské osudy. Franz Liszt, Richard Wagner, Edvard Grieg, Claude Debussy a Erik Satie jsou známé osobnosti, o nichž existuje mnoho knih zaměřených na jejich díla. Avšak tyto umělecké postavy měly rozmanité povahy a pestré životní příběhy, které je často přiváděly do nečekaných situací. Kdo čelil pistoli své zhrzené milenky? Kdo se snažil uniknout zatčení s kufříkem partitur? Kdo zaplatil za koncertní turné svým životem? Kdo napsal operu, kterou libretista tak nenáviděl, že chtěl zastřelit jeho kočku? Kdo čekal čtvrtstoletí na uznání, které získal jediným provedením svých skladeb? Autor MARTIN VOJTÍŠEK, známý svými rozhlasovými scénáři, přináší odpovědi na tyto otázky a další zajímavosti z životů těchto skladatelů zábavným a poutavým způsobem, opírajíc se o historická fakta. Neobvyklá forma fiktivního dialogu umožňuje pohled na kontroverzní události z různých úhlů, což dodává textu živost a barvitost. Kniha je ideální pro ty, kteří hledají příjemné čtení, a na závěr obsahuje překlad veršů Erika Satieho, které podkládaly jeho klavírní skladby.

      This is the largest selection, in any language, of the writings of Erik Satie. Although he was dismissed as an eccentric by many, Satie has come to be seen as a key influence on modern music. The appeal of his writings, however, go far beyond their musical value. He is revealed as one of the most beguiling of absurdists, in the mode of Lewis Carroll or Edward Lear, but with a strong streak of Dadaism (a movement with which he collaborated).
