Product Description
Erik Satie's Trois Gymnopedies were written for piano
solo but lend themselves perfectly to being played by other musical
instruments too. Indeed, Claude Debussy arranged the first and third
Gymnopedies for orchestra.
These arrangements for flute with
piano accompaniment would fit nicely into a school concert programme
and are also perfect for wedding ceremonies.
Performance time for each piece is approximately 2.5 to 3 minutes.
Breath marks are not indicated, as the long phrases
should ideally be played in one breath if possible. A separate part is supplied
for the soloist.
The composer's original autographed manuscripts
have been used as the initial source material, along with the very first
printed editions published in 1888 and 1895. Obvious errors in these first editions
have been corrected and Satie's unconventional preference for distributing the
notes of chords across both staves has been ignored in favour of grouping the
notes together to facilitate chord recognition and performance.
