Today Erik Satie is often viewed as a curious eccentric composer who wrote some pleasant piano pieces that have now become somewhat overplayed. He was born in Honfleur, France, in and when only four years old his family moved to Paris in order for his Father to take up a new job as a translator. Satie received organ lessons whilst living with his Grandparents perhaps in order to formalise his musical skills but they do not seem to have helped the young musician very much. In , Satie was able to join the formidable classes at The Paris Conservatoire having moved back to be with his Father following the death of his Grandmother the year earlier. This was to be a memorable experience for the young composer but not an altogether positive one. His tutors at the Conservatoire were reported to have passed comments about him that were nothing short of rude and extremely unhelpful to a developing musician. Needless to say, Satie did not remain at the Conservatoire very long and returned to Paris where he began to publish Salon music for piano.
