| Abstract | In the collective imagination, the figure of Erik Satie is inseparable from his music. But few creative people have endeavored as much as he to rid their works of all trace of subjectivity. The better to sidestep any explicit--or implicit--allusion to his private life, Satie went as far as to virtually forbid himself from having any such thing. To do this, he turned his person, his everyday behaviour and even his physical appearance into a banner, to some extent, of his oeuvre. And to such a degree that it is possible to follow quite cloesly the development of his aesthetic concerns through the various characters which he plays embodied turn by turn, the way an actor plays his parts in the theater. |
