Satie

At the rehearsal of Parade the orchestra thought Satie's was ballroom music. Cocteau had to go fetch Ravel to convince them it was a piece of stylized genius. A flutist rose and said to Satie: "Mr. Satie, you seem to think I'm stupid". He replied "No, I don't think you are stupid. But I could be wrong".
