Briefe 1

"Erik Satie's correspondence is part of his legend. There is hardly an acquaintance of the composer who did not allude to it in his memoirs and with whom his imagination did not occasionally run wild when describing his unique relationship to this means of expression. According to Darius Milhausd, 'he kept all the letters he received, as well as the drafts of those he sent, however trivial they may have been'. Cocteau even exaggerates this picture by claiming that all his friends' letters were found in his room in Arcueil 'under a mountain of dust. He had not opened a single one of them." Ornella Volta

Edited and annotated by Ornella Volta, from the French by Silke Hass.
