Satie was revived by this guy and Ravel! It's great that he got to live out and be a legend of his time by his later years, but the man saw a lot in his life. This song is a great representation of his many strifes.
This song is intoxicating to hear. I just heard it for the first time while watching the 1988 motion picture, written and directed by Woody Allen, "Another Woman".
The Japanese have a concept called "mono no aware," which roughly means sadness at the transience of things in general and beauty in particular.
Beauty is that momentary perfection in the arc of life, that is farthest from death. Perhaps it's the realization of this that evokes anticipatory grief.
@PacRimJim Thank you for your superb and thought-provoking post. If you send me your name I'd like to quote this in a book I am writing. You can send it to enolde@yahoo.com
@054khj2911 Claude Debussy and Erik Satie were rather close friends. Towards the end of 1896 Satie's popularity was waning, so Debussy tried to help his friend garner a bit of fame by orchestrating some of his pieces (namely, Gymnopedie no. 1 and 3). So - Satie wrote the original, solo piano pieces, Debussy scored them for orchestra. He never scored Gymnopedie no. 2, however, claiming that it was "unscorable". Hope that helps!
@dopewords Of course.Artists have spent lifetimes pursuing the bittersweet muse.Where would Poe have been without that beautiful wistfulness? I find Gymnopedie No 1 particularity haunting and heartbreaking.No 3 is lovely as well.
@dopewords if you dont theres something uve missed, it tells a story of love lost , gone , found and at peace, and to anyone else out there who doesnt feel it then maybe you could sit back , enjoy a J n go with it if nothing else.....
Belle orchestration de Debussy de la Gymnopédie n°3 version piano ! MAIS EN ORCHESTRATION ELLE PORTE LE N° 1 : erreur de Debussy ou de l'imprimeur! JAMAIS IL N'Y A EU RECTIFICATION! NOUS DEVONS DONC RESPECTER DEBUSSY QUAND C'EST DEBUSSY et RESPECTER SATIE EN VERSION PIANO SOLO .....mais cette version est très belle.....le n° est une autre histoire ......
SO LITTLE VIEWS!?!?!?!?
