Date

What's the source of the Sept 6 date? The pages in Ext Links just say "September" (as far as I can see), and [1] reckons it was Sept 9 (it may be wrong of course - I don't have anything authoritative I can check it against). --Camembert

Yeah, I misread that, should have written 9. I'll do a bit more source-checking later and concretize the date :) Dysprosia 01:14, 13 Apr 2004 (UTC)

Thanks :) --Camembert

I didn't find a heck of a lot of corroborating evidence (just one other site, oh! and it happens to be that one above), but I still think the date's okay. And, there's a list of the pianists up now! :) Dysprosia 13:32, 13 Apr 2004 (UTC)

Blimey, I never realised there were such a lot of well known people involved. --Camembert

Changes of the last few days performed by Francis Schonken (now registered)

Satie's Grove article implies that musicologists have settled on the date of composition as 1893. Are there any sources that contradict this before I change it? Georgery Kempe (talk) 16:58, 13 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Warhol

Is there a source confirming that Andy Warhol was present for the entire performance? Jonig4 22:28, 8 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

OR & ref tags

This page is tagged as both being original research and not sourced. This seems a little out of line. I was present for a performance of this piece last year, and there were documentation that is consistent with the info on this page. It is a pity I don't remember what specifically they were. Considering the lack of talk about it on this page, I am removing those banners. -20 July 2007

# of repetitions

What would indicate it is not to be repeated 840Xs? Hyacinth (talk) 23:39, 21 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

John Cale / etc

Just ran across a Youtube hosted video that's making the rounds on facebook. Apparently in 1963 John Cale, having been one of 10 pianists to perform the 18-hour piece in Wales (already noted in the article under "first public performance"), appeared on the American game show, I've Got a Secret, with the only member of the audience to have sat through the entire 18 hours. Is that notable? In most articles that would be pop culture / trivia, but inasmuch as Satie is an early composer of what would come to be pop music, and the incident of the performance if not the television aftermath is already covered in teh article perhaps an important cultural manifestation, if we can source this perhaps it would make a useful addition to the article.
