Eric Satie

－In his one-room apartment Satie had two pianos. One placed on top of the other, their pedals interconnected.
－His room must have been pretty crowded, for it also contained his collection of over 100 umbrellas !
－Satie once bought 12 grey velvet suits at the same time. He used one suit at a time until it was worn out, then he put on a new one. When he died, there were 6 suits left in his room, along with his 100 umbrellas.
－When Satie was criticised for writing music without form, he immediately composed "Trois Morceaux en forme de poire" (Three Pear-shaped Pieces. They are piano duets).
－His 180 notes long composition Vexations, directed to be repeated 840 times, was recorded in 1963 in New York. It took a relay team of 10 pianists over eighteen hours to perform. The longest piece ever written.

一位我所喜欢的作曲家的一些怪癖。挺好笑的。
