Erik Satie

This new, completely revised and reset centenary edition of Satie?s complete piano music in three volumes has returned to Satie?s manuscripts and first editions to give pianists completely accurate and reliable texts to play from. As well as presenting every piece for piano solo or piano reduction that Satie published, this edition also includes some previously unknown pieces, like the Petite Sonate that he wrote for Vincent d?Indy at the Schola Cantorum, as well as some interesting first versions of well-known pieces, like San Bernardo, a trial version of Españaña (1913) and the markedly different first version of Les Pantins dansent (1914). In addition, there areexamples of the different types of exercises that Satie completed at the Schola between 1905 and 1912, some extra trial Enfantines, and some earlier drafts of his famous Sports et divertissements. To help pianists, suggested metronome marks have been added throughout, and there are also some performance suggestions for the Rose Croix pieces of the 1890s, which otherwise appear to be all quiet and slow. The notation has been made as user-friendly as possible, without detracting from Satie?s concerns about the ?extériorisation? of his musical thought in print.

?dit?es par Robert Orledge-This new completely revised edition of the Gnossiennes is based on Robert Orledge's critical edition of Satie's works for piano (in 3 volumes; catalogue numbers: SLB 5960 - SLB 5961 - SLB 5962). Orledge's work has returned to Satie???s manuscripts and first editions to give pianists completely accurate and reliable texts to play from.

Livre / Broché / L'auteur présente dans cet ouvrage la vie, l'oeuvre et la personnalité du compositeur, mettant plus particulièrement l'accent sur les nombreux liens qu'il a entretenus avec les mouvements artistiques de son temps - du symbolisme au néoclassicisme, de Dada au surréalisme - ainsi que sur les oeuvres qu'il a à son tour inspirées. Un vrai livre d'art.

This short melodious piece by the French composer Eric Satie will bring delight to both performers and audiences.

Pour Piano - Collection Archives Eric Satie-Seven timeless and enigmatic pieces for Piano solo by forward thinking and avant garde French composer Erik Satie. There is a definite distant Romantic quality running through these Six Gnossiennes with the score interspersed with unusual and often surreal instructions for the performer. They are among the best known of all of the composer???s works despite his intention that it should be wallpaper music - not to be heard but overheard by an audience.
