🇫🇷Erik Satie ： Nocturne No.2

Satie’s Nocturne No. 2 is a nocturne that brings quiet poetry and delicate shading to the surface through a restrained musical texture. Where the distinction between melody and accompaniment becomes clear, it is important to let the main line sing gently while keeping the inner voices and chords understated. Rather than seeking dramatic effects, allowing the music to move forward naturally with the breath of each phrase reveals its distinctive use of space. Listen carefully to ensure that the pedal does not leave excessive resonance, and give thoughtful attention to the pauses created by changes in harmony and rests.
