Erik Satie

Ready To Play Satie

Playing the greatest works of the great composers has now been made easier thanks to a series of editions in which pieces are singled out, organized according to progressive levels of difficulty, and provided with a whole series of precious support materials such as historical and literary introductions to each work, technical guidelines for pianists, fingerings, etc. An excellent way to discover the great piano repertoire and a useful teaching aid. This anthology explores the compositions for piano by Erik Satie, a surprising and versatile composer. The pieces are organized following a criterion of increasing difficulty, including such famous works as the 1re Gymnopédie, the Gnossienne n o 1 and Vexations, a musical experiment as unique as it is bizarre. The volume concludes with a selection of pieces for four hands extracted from La Belle Excentrique.
