La scène musicale a pris connaissance d'Erik Satie (1866-1925) tout d'un coup: La première mondiale de 'Parade' son ballet le 18 mai 1917 [siehe dt. Texte!] Causé tout un scandale. La production qui a impliqué Serge de Diaghilev avec son 'Ballets Russes', Pablo Picasso (décors et costumes), Jean Cocteau (histoire) ainsi que Léonide Massine (chorégraphie) divisé la scène musicale de Paris, mais fait le compositeur bien connu. Satie qui avait à peine une solide formation musicale et a vécu à Paris pendant presque toute sa vie au point un nouveau style musical, le rejet délibéré de l''Wagnérisme de son époque. Modèles de forme classique, des harmonies nouvelles, la facilité stylistique, méditatives et des éléments fusionnés clownesques d'une manière originale, l'exemple parfait étant ses '3 Gymnopédies 'de 1888, le premier ayant été disposées ici pour instrument solo avec accompagnement de piano: Ainsi, il est désormais possible, même pour les non-pianistes, de jouer à ce célèbre miniature de Satie. Merci à sa jouabilité facile, il peut également être utilisé à des fins éducatives. / Violon Et Piano
