from
Wikipedia
Antheil was asked to make his Paris debut at the opening of the Ballets suédois, an important Paris social event.
He programmed several recent compositions, including the " Airplane Sonata ", the " Sonata Sauvage " and " Mechanism ".
the police entered, and any number of surrealists, society personages, and people of all descriptions were arrested ... Paris hadn't had such a good time since the premiere of Stravinsky's Sacre du Printemps.
The riot was filmed and may in fact have been engineered, as the Marcel L ' Herbier movie L ' Inhumaine needed a riot scene set in a concert hall.
In the audience were Erik Satie, Darius Milhaud, Man Ray, Pablo Picasso, Jean Cocteau, and Francis Picabia.
