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

Arrangeur: Sylvia C. Rosin. Par SATIE ERIK. The 'Gymnopédies' from 1888 rank amongst Satie's most popular works for the piano. These arrangements for the recorder will provide the player with a new and unique challenge for capturing the calm, almost simple solemnity of these pieces. The resulting sound experience will prove quite remarkable. Sylvia C. Rosin has managed to maintain the original musical structure in her arrangements by assigning the melody line, the right hand part in the original, to the recorder. According to the individual requirements of the player the arrangements can be played on the soprano or tenor and even the treble recorder./ Répertoire / Flûte à Bec (T/S/A) et Piano

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.
