Erik Satie

"In its equally deceptive artlessness, Templier's aesthetic-personal vignette of Crin-Crin (as Satie was known to his family) leaves the impression of a rather disagreeable, fiercely independent figure whose droll calligraphic doodles, and delicately perfect musical penmanship, sampled in the present volume, are more than a little characteristic of the man and his legacy." —Los Angeles Times

The text consists essentially of three major subjects: Satie's life, his character, and his works, with an appended, up-to-date discography. Well illustrated.
