Product Description
Erik Satie's 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.
This arrangement for flute with
piano accompaniment would fit nicely into a school concert programme
and is also perfect for wedding ceremonies.
Performance time is approximately two and a half minutes.
Breath marks are not indicated, as the long phrases
should 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.
