In his very entertaining autobiography, Bad Boy of Music (Doubleday & Doran, 1945; reissued by Samuel French, 1990), George Antheil describes moving from Berlin to Paris in 1923. There he lived with his Hungarian wife, Böske Markus, in a tiny apartment located directly above the bookstore Shakespeare & Co., owned by Sylvia Beach. Beach, who published Joyce’s Ulysses, introduced Antheil to the author, as well as to other modernist legends, including Pound, Eliot, and Ford Madox Ford. Antheil also counted among his friends such notables as Léger, Braque, Dali, Max Ernst, and Man Ray. Among musicians, Erik Satie was an admirer of Antheil’s and vice versa.

... My piano was wheeled out on the front of the stage, before the huge Léger cubist curtain, and I commenced playing. Rioting broke out almost immediately. I remember Man Ray punching somebody in the nose in the front row. Marcel Duchamp was arguing loudly with somebody else in the second row. In a box near by Erik Satie was shouting, ‘What precision! What precision!' and applauding. The spotlight was turned on the audience by some wag upstairs. It struck James Joyce full in the face, hurting his sensitive eyes. A big burly poet got up in one of the boxes and yelled, ‘You are all pigs!' In the gallery the police came in and arrested the surrealists who, liking the music, were punching everybody who objected."

 —From George Antheil's autobiography, Bad Boy of Music (1945).
