🇫🇷Erik Satie ： Enfantines II Marche du grand escalier

This march depicts a steady climb, like ascending the grand staircase suggested by its title, through concise rhythms and a clear sense of beat. Short phrases move forward in succession, while simple repetitions reveal Satie’s characteristic lightness and slightly detached humor. Points to listen for include the accents and changes of register that emerge while the regular tread is maintained. In performance, avoid excessive tempo fluctuations, coordinate the movements of both hands, and aim for a clear touch that does not make the sound heavy. By preserving a rhythm that advances one step at a time and adding restrained expression to the musical changes, the charm of the concise writing comes into focus.
