Choses Vues à Droite Et à Gauche (sans Lunettes)
''Choses vues à droite et à gauche (sans lunettes)'', commonly translated as ''Things Seen Right-to-Left (Without Glasses)'', is a suite for violin and piano by Erik Satie. Composed in January 1914 and published in 1916, it is the only work he produced for violin-piano duet. A typical performance lasts about 5 minutes. Description One of Satie's infrequent excursions into chamber music, the ''Choses vues'' is contemporaneous with the bulk of his humoristic piano suites (1913-1914) and was conceived in a similar spirit. It has been interpreted as a spoof of academic musical training, in particular that of the Schola Cantorum in Paris, where the composer had recently ended his studies (at age 46) with Vincent d'Indy. The suite's three brief pieces are satirical reinventions of Baroque musical forms, enhanced by Satie's characteristic droll titles and performance directions. ''1. Choral hypocrite'' (''Hypocritical Chorale'') - G Major - ''Grave'' Satie had a singular attitu ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
