ISBN: 0198164580 ISBN-13: 9780198164586 Publisher: Clarendon Press OUR PRICE: $299.25 Product Type: Hardcover - Other Formats Published: April 1999 Annotation: 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. Whiting makes this radical transvaluation of received artistic values more understandable by placing it in the full context of bohemian Montmartre. |
