Description
Also from the same 1913 collection of satirical miniatures, this piece is titled "Regrets of the Confined." A somewhat heavy atmosphere evokes a closed-off space, within which Satie blends his characteristic irony with genuine poetic feeling. In under two minutes, it packs in a surprising variety of expressive shifts between light and dark.
A three-piece piano suite Satie composed in 1913, carrying his characteristic whimsical, offbeat humor.
