In this impressive piece, the title “Wind Power” can refer either to the various machines that are driven by the wind, or the soaring sound of a wind band. In a cinematic style, this work opens powerfully with a series of tone clusters followed by a constantly moving series of notes depicting the ebb and flow of the wind. Then we are soaring high above the ground in a glider with only the sound of the wind keeping us aloft. With dramatic shifts in dynamics along with pulsing rhythms, this piece is a fun challenge for all members of the ensemble. Dur: ca. 5:00.

PIANO inches. English-French.

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 aspresenting 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 interestingfirst 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 completedat 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 suggestionsfor 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.

Cette nouvelle édition de l’intégrale de la musique pour piano d’Erik Satie, en trois volumes, est une version totalement révisée et regravée de l’édition centenaire de son oeuvre pianistique. Elle revient aux sources manuscrites et premièreséditions des pièces de Satie, et offre aux interprètes des textes musicaux fi ables et pertinents.Ces volumes proposent toutes les pièces pour piano solo, ou en réduction pour piano, publiées par Satie, incluant quelques pièces antérieures inconnues, telles la Petite Sonate que Satie écrivit pour Vincent d’Indy la Schola Cantorum, et quelquespremières versions de pièces très connues, comme San Bernardo, version d’essai d’Españaña(1913), ou encore les premières versions très différentes de Les Pantins dansent (1914).

On trouvera également quelques exemples des différents exercicesque Satie exécuta la Schola entre 1907 et 1912, quelques tentatives supplémentaires d’Enfantines, et quelques brouillons antérieurs de ses célèbres Sports et divertissements.

Des indications métronomiques ont été ajoutées afi n d’aider lesinterprètes, de même que certaines suggestions de jeu pour les oeuvres relatives la période Rose Croix des années 1890, pièces qui sinon pourraient ne sembler que lentes et tranquilles. La notation a été envisagée sous l’angle le plus pratiquepossible, sans pour autant négliger le soucis de Satie quant l’ « extériorisation » de sa pensée musicale sur papier.

Questa nuova edizione in tre volumi delle composizioni per pianoforte di Satie offre ai pianisti una revisione accurata e fedele alle intenzioni dell’autore grazie all’analisi e al confronto dei manoscritti e delle loro prime edizioni astampa.

La pubblicazione, oltre a includere tutti i pezzi per pianoforte o in riduzione che Satie ha pubblicato, offre anche alcuni brani fino a oggi sconosciuti, come la Petite Sonate che ha scritto per Vincent d’Indy e interessanti primeversioni di pezzi celebri, tra cui San Bernardo, un primo tentativo di Españaña (1913) e la prima versione, considerevolmente diversa, di Les Pantins dansent (1914).

Per agevolare gli interpreti, il curatoreha aggiunto, all’occorrenza, segnidi metronomo e alcuni suggerimenti per l’esecuzione. La notazione musicale è stata resa il più possibile comprensibile senza depauperare il pensiero musicale di Satie sull’esteriorizzazione della musica.

Appropriately named, this colorful piece is a tone poem that evokes the earth awakening to spring. The lush harmonies exploit the full range of the keyboard with frequent modulations to new keys. The thematic material is seamlessly woven into both parts. Often the primo and secondo hands are very close to each other. The composer includes short phrases above the staff such as swaying branches, fragrant rain, and flowers blooming plus others to depict the various sense of spring. Good piece for an experienced duet team.
