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.

40 Pieces Without Octaves. Par DIVERS AUTEURS / ARENS BARBARA (ARR.). Having a small hand span on the piano is frustrating. So much piano literature contains octaves or big chords making it difficult or impossible to play. It is a problem for piano teachers to find playable yet engaging, motivating, fun literature for their small-handed students. One such teacher asked Barbara Arens to write some pieces without octaves and chords that are hard to play specially for her small-handed pupils - and the idea for Small Hand Piano was born. Being an experienced teacher for all age groups herself, the author of One Hand Piano, 21 Amazingly Easy Pieces, Piano Misterioso, Piano Vivace - Piano Tranquillo and Piano Exotico composed 20 pieces in a large variety of styles without a single octave. And to ensure that the collection is as varied as possible, she not only chose tried-and-tested pieces by Massenet, Gurlitt, Sibelius, and Heller, but also unknown works of Marcello, Koželuch, Schytte, and Rebikov as well as arrangements of film music by Howard Shore and Barbra Streisand. / Date parution : 2019-10-25/ Recueil / Piano

The renowned pianist Hans-Günter Heumann has arranged these 30 contemporary Piano classics which are some of the greatest hits of modern composers, inspired by minimalism and drawing on many other genres. Including arrangements of Einaudi, Yiruma and Yann Tiersen among many others, Piano Pur features many songs to soothe the soul. The most acclaimed composers of the genre like Dustin O'Halloran, Ludovico Einaudi, Yann Tiersen and Philip Glass are represented here, with beautiful arrangements by Heumann. The repetitive structures build rhythms and melodies that envelop the listener, resulting in wonderful pieces of music that are as enjoyable to play as they are simply to listen to. The juxtaposition of patterns and motifs create relaxing and joyful music that may come under the genre of 'miminalism', but is far from simplistic. Featuring songs like River Flows In You, Nightbook, Metamorphosis One and Three as well as Erik Satie's masterful Gymnopédie #1, Piano Pur is a wonderful selection of the most beautiful contemporary classical pieces, as well as three original compositions by Heumann himself. Featuring a unique MP3 CD with full demonstrations as well, this songbook has everything you might need to learn how to play these fantastic songs on Piano./ Recueil / Piano
