Tout comme les «Gymnopédies», les «Gnossiennes» renvoient à des traditions de la Grèce antique.

Probablement stimulé par l?Exposition universelle de 1889 à Paris, Satie introduisit dans ces pièces des ornements orientaux.

Très sensible aux tendances musicales en vogue à l?époque, il relia entre eux des éléments exotiques, des influences provenant de la musique de cabaret, ainsi que, bien entendu, ses propres idées et en tira quelque chose d?absolument nouveau.

Quelques-unes des «Gnossiennes» surprennent par d?énigmatiques fragments de texte introduits entre les portées. D?après Satie, il ne faut pas les lire à haute voix, car il sont là pour créer une secrète complicité entre le compositeur et l?interprète - un défi créatif que nous transmettons, grâce à notre édition Urtext, aux exécutants d?aujourd?hui. / Classique / Partition / Broché /

De même que les `Trois morceaux en forme de poire` sont constitués en fait de sept pièces, les `Trois Gnossiennes`² d'Erik Satie sont issues d'un ensemble de sept compositions. Inspiré d'une visite au pavillon de musiques exotiques à l'Exposition Universelles de 1889, le mode gnossien a tellement séduit le compositeur - pourtant coutumier du renouvellement perpétuel dans chacune de ses oeuvres - qu'il y est revenu par sept fois en l'espace de huit ans. S'ajoutant aux six Gnossiennes déjà parues jusqu'ici, la 7e Gnossienne est publiée dans ce recueil pour la première fois.

Sept pièces pour piano. Par LAKS SIMON. Simon Laks (1901-1983), who moved from Warsaw to Paris in 1926 at the age of 25, belonged to the large group of composers from Central and Eastern European countries who went down in 20th-century music history as the ?École de Paris?. Slavic temperament amalgamated in their music with French esprit, the folklore of their native countries combined with the stylistic elements of neoclassicism and jazz typical of the time. As a member of the ?Association of Young Polish Musicians?, Laks quickly made his way into French musical life. However, his career was ended with the beginning of World War 2 due to the collaboration of the Vichy government with Nazi Germany. Internment in 1941 was followed by deportation to Auschwitz in 1942. Laks survived the Shoah as a member and later leader of a camp band in Birkenau, which he testified to in his moving book Music in Auschwitz. After the traumatic experiences, Laks did not return to regular compositional activity until the 1960s, producing an opera, songs, and chamber music works, some of which were awarded important composition prizes. At the peak of this optimistic creative phase, he composed incidental music for Peretz Hirschbein's famous Yiddish comedy Dem Schmids Techter (The Blacksmith's Daughters), which premiered in New York in 1918, for a new production of the play at the Théâtre de l?Entrepôt in Paris. Along with Prokofiev's Overture on Hebrew Themes and Shostakovich's cycle From Yiddish (Jewish) Folk Poetry, it is one of the most significant 20th-century explorations of art music with Jewish folklore ? homage to a culture irreparably destroyed. From the original score, Holger Groschopp compiled two suites, for violoncello and piano and piano solo, that capture the essence of Lak?s enchanting drama music. The premiere recording of the suites with Holger Groschopp and Adele Bitter was awarded the Opus Klassik 2023 in the category Editorial Achievement of the Year. . / Niveau : moyen - avancé / Date parution : 2024-01-06/ Répertoire / Piano

Around 1960 Olivier Messiaen began a large-scale concerto based on the birds of the Hérault region (?Oiseaux de l?Hérault?) for piano various soloists and orchestra.

Richly illustrated with a number of facsimiles musical examples and photographs Muraro?s introduction retraces the origins and historic context of the work invites the reader to enter the composer?s workshop and offers suggestions for performance. Fauvettes de l?Hérault ? Concert des garrigues for solo piano is a ?concerto without orchestra? that blends reference to Claude Debussy a thinly veiled homage to Yvonne Loriod new birdsong from the Hérault region and the vast palette of rhythm timbre and colour that are typical of Olivier Messiaen?s musical universe.
