🇫🇷Erik Satie ： En habit de cheval Autre choral

The third piece in the piano-four-hands collection En habit de cheval, “Autre choral” is shaped around cohesive chords, drawing out a quiet tension and a restrained expressive character. Rather than placing a single melody in the foreground, the two performers build the music by coordinating the layers of sound and the flow of the phrases. Careful attention should be given to the passing of material between parts and to changes in the harmony, while the players avoid competing in volume and allow the music to breathe. The pedal should be used with discretion so that the resonance does not become cloudy, allowing the subtle shading and distinctive stillness within Satie’s concise writing to emerge.
