His innovative harmonies, freedom of form, and mastery of musical understatement influenced a diverse company of modern masters, ranging from Debussy and Ravel to Milhaud, Poulenc, and Cage. This is a facsimile of an extremely rare collection of the French master's brilliant thumbnail sketches — both musical and verbal — of various outdoor sports and amusements. Satie created these pieces to accompany an album of charming, sophisticated drawings by Charles Martin, a well-known illustrator of the day. The composer also added droll verbal commentaries and inscribed both words and music in an exquisite calligraphic hand.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Music","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":43611841429728,"sku":"Books:9780486243658n","price":8.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0628\/5911\/6768\/files\/91mte0P_OFL._AC_UY218.jpg?v=1722975234","url":"https:\/\/theswordandshovel.com\/products\/sports-et-divertissements","provider":"Sword \u0026 Shovel (403)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
