It is short in duration and intermediate in difficulty.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Erik Satie was an important French composer from the generation of Debussy. Best remembered for several groups of piano pieces, including  Trois Gymnopedies  (1888),  Trois Sarabandes  (1887) and  Trois Gnossiennes  (1890), he was championed by Jean Cocteau and helped create the famous group of French composers, Les Six, which was fashioned after his artistic ideal of simplicity in the extreme. Some have viewed certain of his stylistic traits as components of Impressionism, but his harmonies and melodies have relatively little in common with the characteristics of that school. Much of his music has a subdued character, and its charm comes through in its directness and its lack of allegiance to any one aesthetic. Often his melodies are melancholy and hesitant, his moods exotic or humorous, and his compositions as a whole, or their several constituent episodes, short. He was a musical maverick who probably influenced Debussy and did influence Ravel, who freely acknowledged as much. After Satie's second period of study, he began turning more serious in his compositions, eventually producing his inspiring cantata,  Socrate , considered by many his greatest work and clearly demonstrating a previously unexhibited agility. In his last decade he turned out several ballets, including  Parade  and  Relache , indicating his growing predilection for program and theater music. Satie was also a pianist of some ability.  -Rovi Staff\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Musicians Publications","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46968675500326,"sku":"MPWQ271","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0827\/3559\/5814\/products\/700000000MPWQ271_d.jpg?v=1697517250","url":"https:\/\/www.flute4u.com\/products\/nagle-p-slightly-satie","provider":"Carolyn Nussbaum Music Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
