Sonatine Bureaucratique - Erik Satie
While Satie structured his "Sonatine" following the classical form, it inherently embodies irony. The composer, known for his later image of strolling in the streets adorned with a stiff collar and bowler hat, inserted lines of text between the musical staves, narrating the day of a typical Parisian bureaucrat. The bureaucrat, daydreaming of a promotion while sitting in a chair with green silk sleeve guards, encounters phrases like "Next door a piano is playing Clementi"... and, at this juncture, parodied echoes reminiscent of Clementi's popular Sonatine op. 36/1 come to life. Ulrich Krämer, in the preface of our edition, offers insightful background information, enriching the comprehension of Satie's composition.
