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.
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.
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. Performance time is approximately two and a half
minutes.
