SATIE Erik (1866 - 1925)
L.A.S. "ES", June 16, 1924, to Roger DÉSORMIÈRE| 1 page in-12, address on the back (letter-card).
After the premiere of the ballet Mercure (June 14, with sets by Picasso), heckled by the surrealists.
"I urge you to take, for Mercure, the original version [...] no more repeats of the music while waiting for the sets.
I am the one who pays the price for this waiting: many people believe that my music is the cause of these false intermissions - & they "gueuler", the very good people. Yes... They are right, in fact. [...] Thank you for your dedication. You are a "nice guy"... Very successful last night!"
