Unheard Works by Erik Satie to Premiere 100 Years After His Death

"Twenty-seven previously unheard works by Erik Satie, from playful cabaret songs to minimalist nocturnes, are to be premiered a century after the death of the notoriously eccentric and innovative French composer."

"Painstakingly pieced together from hundreds of small notebooks, most of the new works are thought to have been written in the bohemian bistros of Montmartre in Paris where Satie worked as a pianist in the early decades of the 20th century."

"James Nye, a British musicologist and composer, and Sato Matsui, a Japanese composer and violinist, tracked down the lost material in various archival sources."
