Gymnopédie No 2 - Erik Satie (1866-1925) 1st version - by Perry Cammack, key D, drop D tuning 2nd version - by Jasmine Korcok, key C, melody shown ****************************************************************************** ================== 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?
