Erik Satie
Sketches and Provocations of a Portly Wooden Manni
About Erik Satie's Sketches and Provocations of a Portly Wooden Manni
The three movements of the Croquis et agaceries d´un gros bonhomme en bois were composed quickly, in about a week each. The Wooden Manni of the title could refer to a street in the composer´s hometown of Honfleur called rue de l´Homme-de-bois.
When Satie´s Ogives (an early piano work) was performed in 1889, it was advertised as a work by a composer with a wooden head.
No doubt the figure in the title of this 1913 work is the composer himself.
