Complete works for complete piano
Erik Satie

This new edition of Erik Satie's complete three-volume piano music is a completely revised and re-edited version of the centennial edition of his piano work. It goes back to manuscript sources and first editions of Satie's pieces, and provides performers with reliable and relevant musical texts. These volumes include all the pieces for solo piano, or for piano reduction, published by Satie, including some earlier unknown pieces, such as the Small Sonata that Satie wrote for Vincent d'Indy at the Schola Cantorum, and some early versions of very rare pieces. known, such as San Bernardo, trial version of Españaña (1913), or the first very different versions of Les Pantins dansent (1914). There are also some examples of the various exercises that Satie performed at the Schola between 1907 and 1912, some additional attempts by Enfantines, and some earlier drafts of her famous Sports and Entertainment. Metronomic indications have been added to assist the performers, as well as some game suggestions for works from the Rose Cross period of the 1890s, pieces that otherwise might seem slow and quiet. The notation was considered from the most practical angle possible, without neglecting Satie's concern about the "externalization" of his musical thought on paper.
