ERIC SATIE - SPORTS ET DIVERTISSEMENTS [1914] - ALDO CICCOLINI

[lmfviolet78]

are these scores pictures of Satie's actual originals? they're kind of beautiful. It makes me wish I'd taken French. he writes the most interesting musical directions

[wfaze]

@lmfviolet78 yes, they are. There were also illustrations for each movement, done in high art-deco style, by Charles Martin. Dover publishes a fairly inexpensive reprint, although the drawings are, alas, in B&W

The more I listen to these pieces, the better I like them. The score is probably hard to read, and it would take a lot of listening to get in into the patterns and rhythms. Thanks for posting something that sounds so new and refreshing even though written a long time ago.

Incredible, thanks por uploading! Where can I get those original writings?

Maestro Ciccolini is by far the deepest and most moving of Satie's dreamlike little wonders

Thankyou for introducing me to these typically eccentric yet attractive miniatures. It can be said that in these pieces - as in others by Satie - words and music meet in a unique way. It's good to hear Ciccolini again.
