The composer Rudolf Kelterborn about his work: ?I call the ten compositions for female voice and piano ?DUOS? because the voice and instrument parts are treated musically with absolute equality and indeed often go their own independent ways.

In the vocal part there are several variants, and this makes them accessible for different types of voice.

The 10 duos do not form a complete cycle that can be heard only as an entire work. Smaller groups can be put together and presented according to text-related or musical aspects.

The texts are by authors who have continued to inspire me for years.? / [10 Duos Pour Voix de Femme et Piano] / Classique / Partition / Agrafé /

Même si la «Sonatine» de Satie repose sur des formes classiques, il s'agit d'une oeuvre on ne peut plus ironique.

Le compositeur qui à la fin e sa vie aimait se promener vêtu d'un col droit et arborant un chapeau melon raconte au moyen de textes insérés entre les portées le quotidien de l'employé de bureau parisien typique, siégeant dans son fauteuil aux accoudoirs de soie verte et rêvant de son avancement.

«Un piano voisin joue du Clementi» ' à cet endroit, on entend, il estvrai, des réminiscences parodiques de la très populaire Sonatine op. 36/1 de Clementi. Ulrich Krämer livre dans sa préface détaillée à notre édition toutes les clefs nécessaires à la compréhension de l'oeuvre de Satie. / Classique / Partition / Agrafé /

Satie?s ?Ogives? und Gymnopédies? are milestones in the history of modern music. The four metrically free ?Ogives? (meaning pointed arches) reflect the influence of the French New Gothic or Neo-Gregorian movement in architecture with their clear lines and echo effects. The three ?Gymnopédies? proceed with a swaying, chordal momentum, and Satie?s radically sparse writing makes ironic reference to the dance of young warriors in ancient Sparta during gymnopaedia rituals.

The pieces are easy to play and are ideal for teaching purposes. Information on performance practice by Satie specialist Steffen Schleiermacher offer insight into Satie?s music aesthetics.
