Erik Satie Livres

The score showcases Erik Satie's unique style, making it an essential piece for classical pianists. This edition is part of a series that revives scarce early 20th-century works, offering them in high-quality formats while preserving the original text and artwork. It serves as both a valuable resource for musicians and a celebration of Satie's contributions to classical music.

The book focuses on the republication of classic works from the early 1900s and earlier, which are now rare and costly. It aims to make these timeless texts accessible by offering high-quality, modern editions that retain the original text and artwork, allowing readers to enjoy significant literary works without the burden of high prices.

This is the largest selection, in any language, of the writings of Erik Satie. Although he was dismissed as an eccentric by many, Satie has come to be seen as a key influence on modern music. The appeal of his writings, however, go far beyond their musical value. He is revealed as one of the most beguiling of absurdists, in the mode of Lewis Carroll or Edward Lear, but with a strong streak of Dadaism (a movement with which he collaborated).

(Music Sales America). Arranged by Trevor Wye. Nine of Satie's most popular melodies, including the Gymnopedies and three of the Cinq Grimaces , superbly arranged for the intermediate flautist with piano accompaniment.
