2eme Gymnopédie by Erik Satie
==================
Arrangement and Transcription by Perry Cammack
Since Gymnopedie number 2 doesn't seem to be online, here's an attempt,
from the piano sheet music. Of necessity, I've rearranged and reduced
some of the voicings, but (hopefully) kept the tonality intact.
I had been playing 1 and 3 of the series for years before hearing a piano
version. It profoundly changed the way I approached those two and this one
as well. Technically, they aren't hard to play, but they are deceptively
subtle. If you don't have a piano recording, here are a couple of pointers:
* Consider the melody and accompaniment separately. This piece has 5 melodic
phrases, with some gaps in between, beginning in measures 5, 15, 28, 40 and 50.
Bring out the melody and let the rhythm drone underneath. I use as many
rest-strokes as I can on the melody.
* Sustain the bass and chords on beats 1 and 2 through each measure, but let
the melody notes run smoothly into each other.
* Flow and dynamics are very important. Satie marks the 1st and 4th melodic
phrases "piano" (soft), while phrases 2, 3 and 5 are marked "forte" (loud);
the rhythmic interludes (measures 1-4 or 13-14, for example) are marked
"pianissimo" (softer). In the piano version I have, Aldo Ciccolini is very
free with the tempo.
Any corrections or suggestions? Please let me know: perrycammack@yahoo.com
