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.

Satie?s ?Ogives? und Gymnopédies? are milestones in the history of modern music. The four metrically free ?Ogives? (meaning pointed arches) reflect the influence of the French New Gothic or Neo-Gregorian movement in architecture with their clear lines and echo effects. The three ?Gymnopédies? proceed with a swaying, chordal momentum, and Satie?s radically sparse writing makes ironic reference to the dance of young warriors in ancient Sparta during gymnopaedia rituals.

The pieces are easy to play and are ideal for teaching purposes. Information on performance practice by Satie specialist Steffen Schleiermacher offer insight into Satie?s music aesthetics.

Urtext edition with new variant readingsFor the first time Gnossienne No. 7 presented in its authentic form Easy to moderate difficultyTranslations of all Satie?s performance instructions (Ger/Eng)With practical suggestions for performance (Ger/Eng) by Steffen SchleiermacherWith a detailed foreword (Ger/Eng) and critical commentary (Eng)Between 1889 and 1897 Satie composed a series of piano pieces. He gave these the eccentric title Gnossiennes and provided consciously ironic performance instructions in which he satirized the excessive gestures of Romantic piano playing.This Bärenreiter Urtext edition offers new variant readings and presents Gnossienne No. 7 in its authenticform for the first time. Like the Gymnopédies (BA 10804) the Gnossiennes are particularly suitable for piano teaching because of their easy to medium difficulty level. Suggestions for performance are given by the Satie specialist Steffen Schleiermacher. In addition a detailed foreword by the distinguished musicologist Jens Rosteck provides valuable information on the background to the composition its significance and interpretation.

Headstrong and eccentric Satie consciously distanced himself from the Romantic traditions of the nineteenth century. His three miniatures for piano 'Gymnopédies' are the first testimony to his idea of a 'NewSimplicity': repetitive steady rhythms that are reminiscent of ancient cult dances have their very own meditative charm. Satie’s principle of stringing together musical units rather than forcing them to develop later provedgroundbreaking for many musical movements of the twentieth century. Satie would certainly have appreciated the balanced print image of Henle's Urtext edition as he took pleasure in the visual design of his musical scores.

Pedagogical in nature these editions offer insightful interpretive suggestions pertinent fingering and historical and stylistic commentary. Throughout his life Erik Satie was so surrounded with the creative and modern atmosphere that permeated La Belle Epoque (The Beautiful Era) that he himself became a symbol of the age. These six short pieces from the composer's early years capture the graceful conventionality that defines Satie. Intermediate level.

Promenade Series Of Piano Music No. 40-French composer and pianist Erik Satie?was a colourful figure in the early 20th century Parisian avant-garde. His work was a precursor to later artistic movements such as minimalism repetitive music and the Theatre of the Absurd. An eccentric ?Satie?was introduced as a 'gymnopedist' in 1887 shortly before writing his most famous compositions the Trois Gymnopédies.The three short atmospheric pieces in ? time are now published as part of the Promenade Series of Piano Music (No. 40). Collectively the?Gymnopédies?are regarded as an importantprecursor to modern ambient music gentle yet somewhat eccentric pieces which when composed defied the classical tradition.

Par SATIE ERIK. Erik Satie was an influential composer of the Parisian avant-garde in the early 20th century. His most treasured works for piano are found here in one book. Each of the three Gymnopédies is written in two sections, with a melodic line formed from a modal scale placed over a rhythmically static accompaniment. There is no motivic or harmonic development. The three Gnossiennes are experimental in form, rhythm, and chordal structure. All are notated in ?free time? (i.e., lacking time signatures and bar lines), although each can easily be considered metric (4/4 time signature). / Date parution : 2022-02-10/ Recueil / Piano
