The obvious place to start is Trois Gymnopédies for solo piano, Satie's best-known compositions. With their winding, quarter-note melodies and slowly waltzing left-hand accompaniments, they're often found on relaxation compilations. They're also decidedly anti-virtuosic: You don't need to be Franz Liszt to make music on the piano, he seems to be sa...
Satie dropped out of music school because he didn't fit in. (In fact, his piano professor described himas the laziest student in the Conservatoire.) To make ends meet, he played piano at a café, which was surely where he drew inspiration for his charming cabaret-style song "Je te veux". He wrote it for Paulette Darty, a chanteuse of distinction who...
No composer is more closely associated with the surrealist movement than Satie. In fact, the word surrealism was used for the first time in the program notes, written by Guillaume Apollinaire, for Parade,a ballet for which Satie composed the music. Parade depicts the attempts of a circus troupe to attract a public to its performance — not a particu...
"Now, as a true friend may I warn you that from time to time there is in your art a certain lack of form," wrote Claude Debussy to Satie. With typical humour, Satie responded to Debussy's criticism by publishing a set of pieces for piano duet called Trois morceaux en forme de poire(Three pieces in the form of a pear). There are in fact seven pieces...
This three-movement suite for violin and piano is possibly not top-drawer Satie, but it's a perfect example of his irreverent wit, turned in this instance on the music of the past. While Satie's Paris contemporaries all composed neo-baroque works with great respect for the traditions of the past — Ravel's Tombeau de Couperin, Stravinsky's Pulcinell...
While Embryons desséchés (Desiccated embryos) is another neo-classical work from the same period as Choses vues à droite et à gauche (sans lunettes), what strikes the modern listener first is actually its proto-minimalist qualities. The opening of the first movement is pure Philip Glass! This work finds Satie engaging in a bit of musical biology, w...
An iconoclast, Satie did not write preludes, études, sonatas, impromptus or music belonging to other established piano forms. With his Trois Gnossiennes, he invented a new genre and coined a new term for solo piano pieces written in free time. They're the successors of his earlier Gymnopédies and Sarabandes,except with subtle ornamentation that poi...
Unlike the Gnossiennes and the Gymnopédies, which use left-hand accompaniment to support a melodic line in the right hand, these Danses Gothiques (Gothic dances) unfold as a 10-minute sequence of chords, often with surprising and unconventional harmonic juxtapositions. There are 12 of them, although they're generally played in one uninterrupted blo...
Here's another piece originating in Satie's days as a cabaret pianist. The Empire referenced in this saucy song's title is actually the Empire Theatre in London's Picadilly district, a known hangout for that city's prostitutes at the turn of the last century. The French text — sprinkled with English — never gets racier than "Ses jolis dessous de fa...
We return to one of Satie's earliest works to conclude our list. An ogive is a feature of cathedral architecture, a fact that helps explain why Satie grounded the music of these four short piano pieces in Gregorian chant and used big octaves and full chords to evoke the sound of a pipe organ. Satie was only 20 when he published these pieces and the...

1 de set. de 2023 · In 1898, Debussy published an orchestration that brought an impressionistic touch to bear on Satie's music, illustrating a facility for achieving great effect with spare, spacious instrumental color.
