Georges Auric (1899-1983) was a French composer, pianist and critic, a member of Les Six and a major figure in French film and theatre music. He was part of Poulenc’s artistic world as both colleague and collaborator.

In the Pristine catalogue he appears as a performer in Satie duets with Francis Poulenc.

Auric’s presence at the keyboard is a valuable document of composer-performer culture in interwar Paris, where wit, clarity and friendship often shared the piano bench.

His page is justified as a performer marker as well as a composer identity. Auric brings a Parisian glint to the Satie corner.
