Fidèle à son habitude, Satie opposa de manière humoristique au mythe des «dernières pensées» des grands maîtres ses «Avant-dernières pensées». Comme il est d usage dans ses uvres pour piano datant d après 1912, Satie insère, dans la partition de ces trois pièces raffinées et pour le moins originales, une petite histoire bizarre, plus ou moins en lien avec la musique. Il choisit de dédier ses «Avant-dernières pensées» à trois de ses illustres contemporains: son ami Claude Debussy (n° 1, «Idylle»), Paul Dukas, dont il admirait la musique (n° 2, «Aubade»), et Albert Roussel, son ancien professeur de contrepoint à la Schola Cantorum (n° 3, «Méditation»). / Classique / Partition / Agrafé /

The atmospheric cycle “Avant-dernières Penses” (Next-to-last Thoughts) of 1915, with its underlaid words, likewise belongs to Satie’s ‘story pieces’.The curious performance instructions in these three miniatures, all based on ostinato figures, amusingly lampoon the ideal of Romantic expressiveness.This Urtext edition faithfully adheres to the sources and reflects the latest findings of Satie scholarship. It contains translations of all of Satie’s French texts, practical page-turns, notes on performance practice by Satie specialist Steffen Schleiermacher and an informative Foreword.The pieces range from an easy to moderate level of difficulty and provide an ideal additional varied repertoire for teaching purposes.
