Description
Composed in 1913, this brief satirical miniature is titled "The Woman Who Talks Too Much." In under a minute, Satie sketches a chattering character through playful, quirky figuration, packing his trademark wit into a tiny frame. Unusual harmonies and idiosyncratic markings make it unmistakably Satie.
A three-piece piano suite Satie composed in 1913, carrying his characteristic whimsical, offbeat humor.
