3 Gymnopédies

Description "3 Gymnopédies"

This edition of the three Gymnopédies by Erik Satie offers a carefully edited version of these short, atmospheric pieces, which can be regarded as early examples of ambient music. The compositions are written in 3/4 time, have a common theme and a similar structure. The three Gymnopédien are characterized by their familiar melancholy melodies, which create a piquant, mournful effect through deliberate but slight dissonances against the harmony. This effect corresponds to the performance instructions of the three pieces, which are labeled by the composer as (I) Lent et douloureux (painful), (II) Lent et triste (sad) and (III) Lent et grave (serious). This proofread edition enables musicians to discover the subtle beauty and emotional depth of Satie's famous work and to learn it easily on the piano.
