Description
Bearing a title that translates as 'troublesome little sins,' this piece belongs to the whimsical, lighthearted pieces Satie wrote around 1913. Its brief melodic fragments shift capriciously without settling into weighty seriousness. Suitable for intermediate players, it rewards a light touch and a feel for Satie's characteristic dry wit.
A broad collection of standalone piano pieces not belonging to any specific set, offering hundreds of varied character pieces to explore and compare.
