about

Welcome back to my recording of the complete piano works of Erik Satie.

Volume Ten includes four pieces that Satie wrote around the 1890s and that were only published posthumously. The first three of these pieces were published as Gnossiennes 4-6 by Robert Caby in 1968, and the last of them was called a seventh Gnossienne by Robert Orledge in his admirable 2016 edition (an edition which has been my primary reference point in these recordings). There is no indication that Satie would have regarded these untitled pieces as part of a set, much less as sequels to the famous "Trois Gnossiennes" of 1890, but I have nonetheless retained Caby and Orledge's naming scheme and called all four of these pieces "Gnossiennes" as an aid to conceptualization of where these pieces fit in Satie's vast and complex oeuvre.

I should add that you have already heard an extra Gnossienne, in the latter half of the first act of "Le Fils des étoiles" (see Volume 9). This section was the only piece outside the Trois Gnossiennes that was referred to as a Gnossienne by Satie himself. That at least three pieces never called by this title within Satie's lifetime are now inevitably recorded as if they are members of an extra set of Gnossiennes, while the Gnossiennity of the extract from "Le Fils des étoiles" does not appear in track titles, must be taken as a reflection of the futility of true rigor in attempts at taxonomic completion of any artistic corpus. Let us accept this futility and remember that classical music is a messy living art form that is meant, first and foremost, to be enjoyed.

Volume Ten also includes the harmonically adventurous "Tapestry prelude" from 1906, and my reconstruction of Satie's lost piano work, "Psaumes", written in 1895. The reconstruction of the latter consists of a cover of the album "Let Go" by Avril Lavigne, published in 2002, in its entirety.

Volume Ten was recorded using an electronic keyboard, my voice, and various other digital and acoustic instruments, in an undisclosed location, from July 2020 through May 2021.
