Gymnopedies - Erik Satie
Defiant and idiosyncratic, Satie purposefully distanced himself from the Romantic conventions of the nineteenth century. His trio of piano miniatures, the "Gymnopédies," stands as the inaugural testament to his vision of a "New Simplicity": employing repetitive, unwavering rhythms reminiscent of ancient ritual dances, they exude a distinctive meditative allure. Satie's innovation of stringing together musical fragments, rather than compelling them to unfold, later became a pioneering influence on various twentieth-century musical movements. The balanced visual presentation of our Urtext edition would undoubtedly have pleased Satie, who took delight in the artistic layout of his musical scores.
