Headstrong and eccentric, Satie consciously distanced himself from the Romantic traditions of the nineteenth century. His three miniatures for piano "Gymnopédies" are the first testimony to his idea of a "New Simplicity": repetitive, steady rhythms that are reminiscent of ancient cult dances have their very own meditative charm.
Satie’s principle of stringing together musical units rather than forcing them to develop later proved groundbreaking for many musical movements of the twentieth century. Satie would certainly have appreciated the balanced print image of our Urtext edition, as he took pleasure in the visual design of his musical scores.
薩蒂性格固執而古怪,他有意與十九世紀的浪漫主義傳統保持距離。他的三首鋼琴小品《吉姆諾佩迪》是他「新簡約」概念的最初體現:重複而穩定的節奏,令人聯想到古代的祭祀舞蹈,散發出獨特的冥想魅力。
薩蒂將音樂單元串聯起來,而不是強行發展,這項原則後來被證明對二十世紀的許多音樂運動具有開創性意義。薩蒂一定會欣賞我們原版樂譜均衡的印刷效果,因為他本人也十分注重樂譜的視覺設計。欲
