Fun Fact
In 1918, Erik Satie described postwar music as needing “fewer perfumes and more reality.” Many composers shared this sentiment, favoring sharp edges and transparency over lush emotion. Audiences weren’t always thrilled—but history proved these reactions marked the birth of modern music, not its collapse.
