Salabert Satie Erik - Integrale Des Oeuvres Pour Piano Vol.1

Summary of This Book

This new edition of the complete piano music of Erik Satie (in three volumes) offers a thorough overhaul of the century-old edition of his piano works. The editorial work returns to the sources (manuscripts and first editions) to provide pianists, teachers, and researchers with coherent, readable, and relevant musical material, while respecting Satie's demands regarding the notation of his musical thought.

Throughout the pages, the performer finds all the solo piano pieces published by Satie, as well as valuable content for understanding his compositional workshop: earlier, lesser-known works, exercises completed at the Schola Cantorum between 1907 and 1912, complementary attempts around the Enfantines, and drafts preceding Sports et divertissements. This approach makes the volume particularly useful for stylistic analysis, pedagogy, and recital programming.

The inclusion of metronome markings facilitates tempo establishment and balance, while certain playing suggestions illuminate pieces from the Rose+Croix period of the 1890s, sometimes perceived as solely slow and tranquil. The entire edition adopts a notation designed to be "as practical as possible," serving readability and musicality.

Among the emblematic works and notable pages are the Trois Gymnopédies, Trois Gnossiennes, Trois Sarabandes, Ogives, Danses gothiques, Vexations, as well as working pieces and versions such as San Bernardo (trial version of Españaña) or initial states of Les Pantins dansent, not to mention pieces like Je te veux, Jack in the box, Poudre d'or, Le Piccadilly, and La Diva de l'Empire.
