ok, here comes erik satie! :D
his 3 gymnopedies challenged the romantic notions of expressity and individuality! so cool right. and he writes withour barlines except for sonatine bureaucratique, which makes it so special such that it had to become one of my focus works! he writes really simple stuff, simple rhythm, simple and transparent texture, and bla. however, just like a normal weirdo kid now, he uses weird titles such as Three Pieces in the Form of a Pear which actually has SEVEN pieces! he's really weird. but, can't blame him. haha it was in the midst of World War One i think. 1913. he writes instructions on the score specifically for performers to read! :D i think that's quite cool. hehe. and this reinforces the idea of performing for one's enjoyment of something like that. very cool! ok, he writes circular and static harmonies. I-IVc. his favourite. he uses parallel and modal chords too! and he has unconventional modulations! wow, wow, WOW! hurhur. ok. satie rocks. :D WWI and WWII affected music in france too! the rise of nationalism. bla. ok goodnight! :D Satie lived from 1866 to 1925. :D i memorised it already! :D tomorrow have to do harmony. and got geog lecture!
