You're in the right ball park, though Satie is, I believe, considered an impressionist composer - the composer who used this chord wasn't.

Perhaps you are being mislead by the synth patch I used, which makes the chord sound prettier than I think the composer intended. In context it is a very discordant chord.

The set-to I alluded to is a definite clue - something like 'Rock Around the Clock', but more high brow.

Stravinsky's "The Rite of Spring"?

I was just thinking, "hakey seems like a smart bloke, he knows lots of big words and some very nice chords. I wonder what his music's like? I should check out his website."

Could you please explain to me why I am now looking at washing machines?

um... no.

You're on the right lines, but the chord I'm after has a been given a name, or at least, it is associated with a particular movement.

That's a pretty neat summing up of ballet - so yes.

Here's the notes: E G# B Eb Gb Bb Db

Shouldn't be too difficult to get now.

It's "The Augurs Of Spring Chord", from the second movement in The Rite Of Spring. Gary wins.

The premiere involved one of the most famous classical music riots in history

So there were other 'famous classical music riots'?

Fellow composer Camille Saint-Saëns famously stormed out of the première allegedly infuriated over the misuse of the bassoon

If there's one thing I can't tolerate it's 'misuse of the bassoon'!
