碩士 === 國立中山大學 === 音樂學系研究所 === 89 === Erik Satie was active from the end of the nineteenth century to the beginning of the twentieth century in France. His style of composition is unique. Even though he is not classified to any denomination of music, the impact of the future can not be denied. First, the thesis investigates Satie's compositional background to understand his learning experience and personality. Second, according to the four periods classified by The New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians, his music style from the first period to the third period will be discussed. Finally, the piano solo works "Sports et Divertissements" (1914) which belongs to the third period will be studied carefully. "Sports et Divertissements" combines diverse artistic elements such as music, pictures, and poems. A further research through studying the relation between music and pictures, the combination between music and poems, the association between music and visual elements, and Satie's unusual harmony will be explored.
