🇫🇷Erik Satie ： Vieux sequins et vieilles cuirasses Danse cuirassée

True to its title, evoking ancient armor, this miniature leaves a strong impression through its concise rhythms and hard-edged sonorities. Short motifs and figures recur as the music moves forward, while percussive accents and the placement of the chords create a distinctive tension. Keeping the overall direction in view and clearly articulating the divisions between phrases brings out its simple yet eccentric character. Use the pedal sparingly to preserve the contours of the sound, and aim for a buoyant pulse and nimble articulation so that the performance does not become too heavy.
