Erik Satie.
Satie darbus mūsdienās bieži vien uzskata par impresionisma, neoklasicisma, dadaisma, sirreālisma, konceptuālās mākslas, minimālisma un ambientās mūzikas priekšteci. Satie ir lieli nopelni arī dažāda veida skaņu tehniku, tai skaitā sagatavoto klavieru un filmas un skaņu celiņa sinhronizēšanas, radīšanā un attīstīšanā.
Satī savu darbu nosaukumos bieži izmantoja vārdus, kādi līdz tam nebija sastopami, kā arī izaicinošus, pārsteidzošus, negaidītus vārdu titulus.

Alexandre Tharaud is a French pianist, born Paris, 9 December 1968, active on the concert platform and with a large and diverse discography. Alexandre Tharaud discovered the music scene through his mother who was a dance professeur at the Opéra de Paris, and his father, an amateur director and singer of operettas. Tharaud thus appeared as a child in theatres around northern France, where the family spent many weekends. His grandfather was a violinist in Paris in the 1920s and 1930s. At the initiative of his parents, Alexandre started his piano studies at the age of five, and he entered Conservatory of the 14th Arrondissement, where his teacher was Carmen Taccon-Devenat, a student of Marguerite Long.
He entered the Conservatoire de Paris at age 14 where he won first prize for piano in the class of Germaine Mounier when he was 17 years old. With Theodor Paraskivesco, he mastered the piano, and he sought and received the advice of Claude Helffer, Leon Fleisher and Nikita Magaloff. In 1987, he won third prize at the International Maria Canals Competition in Barcelona and, a year later, the Senigallia Competition in Italy. In 1989, he received 2nd prize at the Munich International Competition. His career developed quickly in Europe as well as in North America and Japan.
In 2009, he took part in a show devoted to Erik Satie with actor François Morel. Alongside the singer Juliette, he organised a Satie Day at the Cité de la musique, recorded for France Télévisions. He has also worked with the French composer Thierry Pécou, giving the première of his first piano concerto in October 2006 at the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées and later recording it.
In 2012, Tharaud took part in the French cinema film Amour by Michael Haneke where he played himself, alongside Jean-Louis Trintignant, Emmanuelle Riva and Isabelle Huppert, although he said that it would not be the start of a film career for him.
The New York Times described his Bach playing at a recital in 2005 as "crisply articulated and vividly etched".
