In the end, he reduced this still further by deliberately contracting bronchitis to get himself invalided out of the 33rd Infantry Regiment in April 1887.ĭuring his convalescence he discovered the literary works of Flaubert and Péladan. His closest friend at the time, the Spanish-born poet Contamine de Latour, maintained that he only persisted with his Conservatoire studies so that he could get away with one year’s military service instead of five. By 1885 he was readmitted, this time to the intermediate piano class of Eugénie’s former teacher, Georges Mathias, who ultimately also thought him ‘worthless’. Almost every report suggests that he was a gifted pianist who was utterly lacking in motivation and poor at sight-reading, and he was dismissed from the institution without a diploma in 1882. Satie loathed his seven years at what he later called ‘a sort of local penitentiary’ and was described by Descombes in 1881 as the ‘laziest student in the Conservatoire’. Eugénie resolved to form Eric in her own mould and enrolled him in the preparatory piano class of Emile Descombes at the Paris Conservatoire that November. Meanwhile his father had met a piano teacher and mediocre salon composer, Eugénie Barnetche, and in January 1879 they married, much to Eric’s displeasure. Disaster struck again in the summer of 1878 when his grandmother mysteriously drowned, and he was returned to Paris to be informally educated by his father.

After the Franco-Prussian war, Alfred sold his ship-broking business and the family moved to Paris, but in 1872, Jane Satie died and Eric and his brother Conrad were sent back to Honfleur to be brought up, as Catholics, by Alfred’s parents. He was the eldest son of Alfred Satie and Jane Leslie Anton, whose mother was Scottish.
