recommends it for:
mammals, marsupials, petuitary glands
Satie was, of course, a meticulous calligrapher & is reknowned for the wry humor that he exercised both in his music & in the notes written on his scores. This bk collects such writings as well as drawings & scores, etc.. A must-have for Satie-fanciers such as yrs truly. Another gem from Atlas Press.
