Description
Composed in 1911, this four-movement work pairs chorales with fugues. Originally written for piano four hands, Satie later orchestrated it himself. Running just under six minutes with over 2,300 notes, it demands clear voicing between parts at an advanced level.
A broad collection of standalone piano pieces not belonging to any specific set, offering hundreds of varied character pieces to explore and compare.
About the Composer
Erik Satie (1866-1925)
Erik Satie was a French composer from Honfleur who worked in Montmartre's cabarets while pursuing a highly individual musical aesthetic. Known for spare, understated music and whimsically titled works, he later influenced minimalist and ambient music. This site includes 65 of his works, such as pieces from "Descriptions automatiques" and "Danse maigre."
