His innovative harmonies, freedom of form, and mastery of musical understatement influenced a diverse company of modern masters, ranging from Debussy and Ravel to Milhaud, Poulenc, and Cage. This is a facsimile of an extremely rare collection of the French master's brilliant thumbnail sketches - both musical and verbal - of various outdoor sports and amusements.Satie created these pieces to accompany an album of charming, sophisticated drawings by Charles Martin, a well-known illustrator of the day. The composer also added droll verbal commentaries and inscribed both words and music in an exquisite calligraphic hand. Published in the 1920s in a limited edition, the album is very scarce today. This modestly priced edition of a rare treasure features black-and-white illustrations and English translations of Satie's eccentric verbal notations.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51930945061152,"sku":"NEW0486243656","price":11.94,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/twenty-short-pieces-for-piano-sports-et-divertissements-dover-classical-piano-music-0486243656","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
