By mid-1892 Satie had composed the first pieces in a compositional system of his own making (), had provided incidental music to a chivalric esoteric play ( two ), had had his first hoax published ( announcing the premiere of, an anti-Wagnerian opera he probably never composed ), and had broken with Péladan, starting that autumn with the Uspud project, a " Christian Ballet ", in collaboration with.

In the meantime, other changes had also taken place: Satie had become a member of a radical socialist party, and had socialised with the Arcueil community: Amongst other things, he'd been involved in the "" work for children.

The foreign music at the exhibition also had a great influence on Ravel ’ s contemporaries Erik Satie, Emmanuel Chabrier, and most significantly Claude Debussy.

With the death of Debussy and the emergence of Satie, Schoenberg, and Stravinsky, modern classical music had a new style to which Ravel would shortly re-group and make his contribution.

* French — Debussy, Claude: Sonata for Cello and Piano ( 1915 ; Debussy had considered calling it " Pierrot angry at the moon "); Popy, Francis: Pierrot Sleeps ( n. d .; violin and piano ); Salzedo, Carlos ( worked mainly in U.

The fact that Satie had abandoned the Nouveaux jeunes less than a year after starting the group, was the " gift from heaven " that made it all come true for Cocteau: his 1918 publication Le coq et l ' Arlequin is said to have ticked it off.

Among her works is a portrait of the composer Erik Satie, with whom she had a six-month affair in 1893.

Satie welcomed the idea of composing ballet music ( which he had never done until that moment ) but refused to allow any of his previous compositions to be used for the occasion, so Cocteau started writing a scenario ( the theme being a publicity parade in which three groups of circus artists try to attract an audience to an indoor performance ), to which Satie composed the music ( with some additions to the orchestral score by Cocteau, see below ).

* It was the first collaboration between Satie and Picasso, and also the first time either of them had worked on a ballet, thus making it the first time either collaborated with Diaghilev and the Ballets Russes.

Neoclassicism had two distinct national lines of development, French ( proceeding partly from the influence of Erik Satie and represented by Igor Stravinsky ), and German ( proceeding from the " New Objectivism " of Ferruccio Busoni and represented by Paul Hindemith.

That Satie would write a " neo-classical " composition a few months after the succès de scandale of Parade, is not so surprising either: Satie was on friendly terms with Stravinsky since 1911, and after this composer had had his big succès de scandale in 1913 ( premiered with the same Ballets Russes ), he also moved towards neoclassicism-although for Stravinsky there was no distinct neoclassical composition published before Satie's sonatina.

In 1893 Satie met the young Maurice Ravel for the first time, Satie's style emerging in the first compositions of the youngster.

From 1899 on Satie started making money as a cabaret pianist, adapting over a hundred compositions of popular music for piano or piano and voice, adding some of his own.

Instead, he applied the aesthetics of the new French school of Chabrier, Satie, and particularly Debussy.

During these years, he worked with major composers, such as Prokofiev, Stravinsky, Claude Debussy, Erik Satie and Ravel, and artists who designed sets and costumes, such as Pablo Picasso, Georges Rouault, and Henri Matisse, creating new works that combined all the arts.
