the sonatas and interludes are good but they don't sound anything like avril 14th, which actually doesn't really sound like any serious classical composer bar satie.

 

But morton feldman is worth a listen if you like that sort of thing, "triadic memories" for piano is about as close as you'll find. And by the way his works are all really really really long.

thta's right, Satie was anti-composer, although he studied polyphonies and stuff, he hated the very idea of serious, true music. therefore many of his works contain borrowed elements from composers he completely hated. his music was a piss, an absurd, and it was Cage who thought of Satie as big-head dadaist. and Feldman was a friend of Cage

 

nice avatar, have you read that discussion transcript between feldman and xenakis, interesting stuff.
