“Cancan grand-mondain” is one of the pieces in Satie’s piano-duet suite La belle excentrique. Its lively rhythms suggest a cancan, while its humor seems to deliberately exaggerate the elegance of high society, evoking a witty stage performance. Sudden accents and changes of volume emerging within the light-footed motion are among its highlights; playing it simply at a fast tempo does not convey its full character. The performers should coordinate the placement of the beats and their breathing, maintain crisp articulation, and clearly bring out each change of expression.
