Satie the Bohemian: From Cabaret to Concert Hall
ISBN: 9780198164586 / Angielski / Twarda / 612 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. 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.
