3 Morceaux en forme de Poire. fur Klavier zu vier Handen. Composed by Erik Satie. 1866-1925. Edited by Jens Rosteck. For 1 piano, 4 hands. This edition. Urtext. Stapled. Level 2. Performace score. Language. German, English. 37 pages. Published by Baerenreiter Verlag. BA.BA10809. ISBN 9790006541188. With Language. German, English. 31 x 24.3 cm inches. In 1903, Satie composed his famous cycle for piano duet with the provocative and ambiguous title "3 Morceaux en forme de Poire". In French, "poire" means "pear" but also "dimwit". It is a detached and ironic commentary on the constraints of musical form. Now this cycle is being published in a scholarly-critical Urtext edition for the first time. Convenient page turns, a score format, translations of the French expression and tempo markings, Satie's enigmatic introduction, performance suggestions by the Satie specialist Steffen Schleiermacher and a detailed foreword by the renowned musicologist Jens Rosteck make the study and performance of these pieces a true pleasure. First scholarly-critical Urtext edition. Of an easy to moderate level of difficulty. Includes translations of all expression and tempo markings. Fr. Ger. Eng. Detailed foreword. Ger.
