Eric Satie is composer born in France. He is often called “eccentric of music scene” or “heretic of music scene” but his achievements have a lot effects to western music. Claude Debussy and Maurice Ravel are influenced by his works. His style is impressionism, so he was not watched in those days. But he was watched by Ravel and others in 20th century, his works became to be acclaimed .
His is famous of funny names of his works. For example, Bureaucratic sonatine” ,”Flabby prelude for a dog” ,”Three short pieces in shape of a pear” , ”Dried fish of an embryo” and ”Fanfare for waking the king of the monkeys), for 2 trumpets.”
And, his music is called “music of furniture.” He intend to make music like back ground music because it is important factor for him who often plays at bar to play not marked like future. “Gymnopedie” and “Gnosiennes” indicate his unique style.
I did not know Eric Satie. However, I know Lavelle and Debussy well. Surely I think that few people may know him. I believe even if he is not a famous musician, he gave the next music to big influence. In addition, his music may be a foundation of today's music.
