Satie-The first volume of the Piano Works of French avant-garde composer Erik Satie. This first volume contains a selection of pieces taken from all periods of his life from the early mystical compositions and through his eccentricity the only common feature running through is the dance or a dance-like quality of his music. Satie’s legacy is his position as a progressive avant-garde composer and his cross pollination of musical forms and contexts mixing the artistic high culture with the trivial cabaret crossed with concert hall. This Edition Peters Urtext edition provides you with an accurate realisation of this unique and versatilecomposer’s original intentions with thorough and detailed editorial markings and suggestions. Includes the following works: Ogives Sarabandes Gymnopedies Gnossiennes Pieces Froides Noturnes and Menuet.

In a typically humorous manner Satie countered the myth of the great master?s ?last thought? with his ?Next-to-last thoughts? (Avant-dernières Pensées). As was usual with his piano works from 1912 onwards, each of the three highly distinctive pieces with their sound sensitive piano settings contained a short whimsical story printed in the musical text as a subtext, which is more or less closely connected with the music. Satie dedicated his ?Next-to-last thoughts? to prominent contemporaries: Claude Debussy (for no. 1 ?Idylle?), with whom he was close friends, Paul Dukas (no. 2 ?Aubade?, in English ?Dawn serenade?), whose music he greatly admired, and Albert Roussel (no. 3 ?Méditation?), his former teacher of counterpoint at the Schola Cantorum in Paris.

These two fascinating works are combined into one volume that includes an interesting biography, background information on the writing of the music, indispensable performance suggestions and a listing of recommended readings and recordings. Also included is an outstanding CD recording from the Naxos label, by Hungarian pianist Klara Kormendi. She studied at the Bartok Conservatory and later at the Liszt Academy, where she received her diploma with distinction in 1967. Kormendi enjoyed early success in a number of national competitions before embarking on a career that has taken her to the major musical centers of Europe. She has recorded works by Debussy and Ravel and the complete piano music of Eric Satie.
