Difference of Opinion


"Why on earth had I gone to d'Indy? The things I had written before were so full of charm. And now? What nonsense! What dullness!" - Erik Satie, qtd. In Wikipedia


Vincent d’Indy had a personal forum

Teaching the young at the Schola Cantorum,

But Erik Satie, who was a part of that quorum,

Complained he was stifled by d’Indy’s decorum.
