Domenico Cimarosa
(1749-1801): Sonata No.

Theme and

Erik
Satie: Petite
Ouverture à danser, Six Gnossiennes, Three Sarabandes,
Three Gymnopédies, Two Ogives (1 & 4), Prélude de
la Porte Héroique, Pièces Froides I (Aires à
faire fuir/Airs that drive away), II (Danses de
travers/Crossed-up dances).
Note: My deliberately slow tempi on these performances
is inspired by Reinbert de Leeuw's early recordings.
Today most pianists, including de Leeuw, play pieces
like the Pièces Froides very
fast.

Feeling
stressed and tired? If you like my slow Satie,
here's our prescription:
Get comfortable and listen

Satie-inspired Trois morceaux en forme de Satie,
based on a Gnossienne, Pièce Froide and Gymnopédie,
repeated a few times and guaranteed to relax and
rejuvenate you! (42')
