🇫🇷Erik Satie ： En habit de cheval Fugue de papier

This short work from Satie’s piano-four-hands collection En habit de cheval is constructed as a fugue. A key point is to follow the subject as it is passed between the different voices while keeping each line clearly defined. By emphasizing a dry wit and light forward momentum rather than allowing the music to become overly weighty, performers can bring out the distinctive humor suggested by the title. The two players should do more than simply match their volume: they should share the timing of the subject’s entries and the rests, while carefully coordinating the direction and accents of each short phrase.
