Satie was a true master of melancholy melody with timing and space; unorthodox improvisational timing, like life, unexpected; so minimal, so gentle and punctuating chords that convey such poignant emotion. His sad life reflects in music our own tragedies, but always with a note of optimism. We shall prevail.
Timing patience Is hardly inherited Talent falls short Since no such thing Hardworking prevail Pain we all share More alike than not Any ear may hear find Slowly walking to grave With every chord define Another letter carve Into stone this place of Soon you shall bee many
Music that is full of emotion, and meant to move you usually doesn't move me at all. This does. Pointed Gothic church arches. Knowing that young Satie wrote it in his small appartment while Big Composers had success with huge romantic works in opera houses.
+TheSpikehere He wasn't living in the right era. Should have he lived before or after ? I don't know but his desillusion and his ironic sense of humour were kinda punk for the time... Glad everyone can listen and relate to him.
I first found this video shortly after you uploaded it in 2012. I've been coming back to it almost weekly since. No matter what's been happening in my life, this video has always had a place in it. I love the way you shepherd Monet's works along with the music; each transition seems so impactful and exacting. Plus, this is my favorite rendition of Ogives. Your video really adds something to both the music and artwork by combining them so elegantly and helped me to appreciate both more deeply. This video is proof that conscientious editing can create a constructive dialogue with the past. Please keep up the good work!
Sublime por el juego y la espiral ascendente, como las formas que originaron esta pieza. Satie místico es un vivo ejemplo de quienes sin alardes se alzan hasta lograr las alturas. Vieja pretensión del ser humano que tan pocos alcanzan. Somos frágiles criaturas trenzando nuestras vidas como exiliados de ese destino que imaginamos eterno -y pasamos el tiempo matándonos para eludir nuestra propia fatalidad. En esa paradoja, solo algunos comprenden lo esencial: vivir y dejar vivir en paz, ahí radica nuestra grandeza. «La verdadera grandeza está en el valor que demostramos a pesar de nuestra consciencia de que somos mortales» (Ahmet Hamdi Tamponar, Paz, 2014:121).
"Sublime by the game and the ascending spiral, like the forms that originated this piece. Mystical Satie is a living example of those who without showing off rise to the heights. Old claim of the human being that so few achieve. We are fragile creatures twisting our lives as exiles from that fate we imagine eternal - and we spend time killing ourselves to avoid our own doom. In this paradox, only some understand the essential: to live and let live in peace, there lies our greatness. "The true greatness is in the courage that we demonstrate despite our awareness that we are mortal" (Ahmet Hamdi Tamponar, Paz, 2014: 121)." That's beautiful, Pedro.
The choral in Deussy's "cathedral" is shockingly close to this magnificent piece right down to the double struck chords at the end (also beginning) of lines of melodic movement.
A wonderful minimalist, almost Oriental in spirit, yet bold and challenging in execution. A wonderful new discovery for me. In some ways he foreshadows Phillip Glass.
Reinbert de Leeuw gave us the best renderings of Satie’s piano work. He has, among other qualities, some deep insight of the phrasing and timing of the moods required to these « easy » but very « un-documented » masterpieces. He added the indispensable touch of freedom that lacks in the French piano school. A freedom from academism that, indeed, is what Satie is all about.
I had forgotten about this. Found a word doc from august 2010 mentioning this as the best thing I'd heard. Here I am again. And yes.right now. again. It's the best thing I've ever heard.
Hear hear. Reinbert de Leeuw is by far the most wonderful concert pianist ever who played Satie. It's like he knew Satie and understood him perfectly, maybe better than Satie humself did.
Thanks for downloading. One of my favorite piano pieces for contemplative listening. Meaning, a piece I would listen to alone, during the dark of night looking at the starry sky. - Yes, you may roll your eyes:-)
This is altogether stunning; what a perfect, compliment of a duo: paintings and piano, strokes and chords both so lovely and invigorating.. To the eyes, to the ears, to the soul, this is sheer excellence. So, thank you, Erik Satie, thank you Claude Monet and thank you Nadaniente!
Musica pura sin ninguna indicacion inesperados acordes que hablan por si solos salidos de el alma desesperada pero con la conviccion de que la vida es una bendición y hay que que vivir el drama que nos da.
Satie es un grande entre los grandes sus obras maestras del piano me desgarran interiormente me traen mucha melancolía y alegría al mismo tiempo . Algo tan bello y muy difícil de explicar es como una adicción que me pide más y más al estilo Satie 🇲🇫❤️
C’est beau comme la non-rétractabilité des serres des oiseaux rapaces; ou encore, comme l'incertitude des mouvements musculaires dans les plaies des parties molles de la région cervicale postérieure (Maldoror, comte de Lautréamont :)
I've always postulated that Satie was the first piece or seedling to what we would later evolve into jazz. The Germans gave me much as a child but Satie worked so much in what i can only describe a dissident melancholy compositions which inspired me to compose. Just for kicks,listen to Trent Reznor/NIN the Ghost set. Listen to Ghost13 of set II. Hear it? Mr. Reznor shares our love of Satie imho. I also love that although French, Satie's works sound very eastern European. Any thoughts on my thoughts? Be well.
Thanks for this informative, useful comment! I intend to look into Reznor. I agree that much of Satie's music evokes an eastern European feeling. Perceptive! A few glances at the art you have shown suggest Impressionism, right of course, but for me there is an Expressionistic feeling also.
Joe Schoenberger When I listen to this great version of Ogives it takes me to where the galaxies make their rounds in the universe, in the silence of eternity. Anyway, Eastern Europe would do as well.
Stunningly beautiful. Really like the william or it version as well. Erik satie was a true genius in my opinion, love his music. This is truely special........sorry meant Willian orbit version!!!! (Not the or it version lol!
Sencilla y enormemente efectiva técnica de composición: Una melodía “gregoriana”, al unísono, es repetida idéntica con armonizaciones y texturas diferentes; De la misma forma en todas y cada una de las 4 piezas.
Merci pour votre commentaire lucide: vous analysez l'art de Satie d'une manière presque poétique - et vous trouvez des mots qui sont apts à décrire ce phénomène! Melanie (Braunschweig)
I’m transported to France moving south on its western trail Chabrol land tremolat where ?Let Boucher was filmed ,my trip 1999 and meeting the villagers and sensing their reactions to moving back thirty years earlier.
I see I'm not the only one who finds this music profound and aethereal. I revere this as a rapturous and talismanic hymn to subtlety. I listened to it many times as I was writing my novel, The Kramvil, and I tried to translate the atmosphere of Ogives into my story. There's a samadhi-like calm in this music that you don't often find anywhere. We're all indebted to those who work to distribute beauty in this world and I owe a lot to Satie for transmitting an atmosphere of spacious sanctity. If you would like to read my story, you can find it here: www.smashwords.com/books/view/671145 On my blog there's more music associated with the book, plus some posters and flyers for it: yecaterpillar.blogspot.co.uk/2016/10/the-horned-whale-by-jeremy-schanche.html Satie's art is unique. His Gnossiennes are probably the most hypnotic and unworldly things known - he is definitely trying to tell us something. A finger pointing at the sky.
So beautiful! Thank you very much! Contemplative, mysterious , mystical, such an inspiration! And your choice of pictures is beautiful! What a fantastic pianist, I discovered him only today, thanks to youtube, Via Crucis by Liszt, fantastic. Why is he not better known?
Even Thibaudet sounds like an amateur Satie interpreter next to de Leeuw's interpretation of the Ogives. Finding this piece and then this recording really made my day today.
The impressionist paintings are well chosen and complement Satie very well. He was an impressionist composer. Satie was to music what Monet and Manet were to fine arts.
@@MalabarTheGreat And impressionist music has nothing to do with impressionist painting anyway. The impressionists hated the term, the same way intelligent dance musicians hate IDM.
@@tykjpelk That is wrong in the sense that only SOME Impressionist musicians hated the term impressionism. Debussy, for example, didn't like the term because it held a negative connotation to it at the time. Impressionist music had everything to do with impressionism in poetry and the visual arts. Monet literally showed Debussy to his American friend. Monet, Manet and all of the French impressionists referred to their movment as "impressionism" after a critic called "Impression, Soleil Levant" just an impression. Satie predated impressionism in music. And he was totally his own thing. Some Impressionist musicians were inspired by him though definitely. I do think a lot of the paintings in this video fit though.
@bram huysen : Wrong analysis Satie is not at all an impressionist composer every well educated people know that ! If you don’t want to be stupid about Satie’s aesthetic you can listen to Jean Cocteau : he explains very well why Satie is not an impressionist and Parade ( Cocteau Satie Picasso ) prove that for sure.
Reinbert de Leeuw also recorded Gymnopedies,Gnossienne and other of his works as well. The Gymnopedies are the best I guess,but you wont find them on youtube,sadly enough.
Does anyone know the meaning of "ogives"? Google Translate gives warhead, and also pointed arch. I'm very curious about the meaning and relevance of the word "ogives" to these pieces. Any thoughts? Thank you kindly.
+Guglielmo M. Basili Hi, I had the same question as Titicat (sic) re: the English translation of the French. Is it a plural form of the singular Ogive? And when you say that the word refers to the shape of a warhead or plane or stained glass window in a cathedral I can't say that I "get it"??? Is it a word that Describes a shape, as the word Triangular or Circular? Or does it describe The Actual Structural Component, as Fuselage or Stabilizer or Fin? Is it a noun or an adjective? Mercì
Warheads share the same shape, curved then pointy, than arcs in gothic architecture this is why has the same name. This shape supports more weight than the roman one (semi circular), which launched the type of churches and cathedrals with almost only columns and windows, so elegant, in the 13th century (if I'm not wrong ^^)
Nessun dubbio che Erik Satie sia un grande artista; uso questa definizione piuttosto che compositore, perchè " non " ha messo in musica tutta la caleidoscopica ed effervescente realtà della sua epoca, progressista, scientista e positivista : nell'arte l'impressionismo dominava con la sua gaiezza, sensualità, gioia di vivere delle classi medio-alte e col suo ottimismo. Satie è impressionista ? Si e no ( a mio parere ); è più impressionista Debussy. Satie è malinconico e conduce l'ascoltatore ad una immersione nella tristezza. Perchè era fuori da qualsiasi " ismo " ? Perchè aveva intuito che quel mondo , così meravigliosamente artefatto, sarebbe crollato di lì a poco con la prima guerra mondiale. Ne aveva compreso i prodromi del disfacimento.
Keep your money, grandpa, and go see a doctor. Either you suffer from ADD or you need glasses. After you buy the glasses you will see the name of the painter at the end of the video. Look above too, it's there.
@@nadaniente115a it seems me, you need education in zivilisated conversations plus glasses! i begged you for the name of the paintings. not for the name of the painter, do you see? but now it is no longer necessary. Goodbye with the best wishes for your future!
Your sense of humor only works in one direction, it seems. When it comes for the names of the paintings you google the painter and maybe they mention the name of the paintings, not always though. I am tired of answering that kind of question, you were just one among many others. Myself I use Google when I want that kind of information. Have a nice day!
There are no prodigy's playing any music with a 'deeper though', it's not just Satie. They cannot understand this music, which is the largest part of playing Satie.
I listened to this just after watching the scene with the girl in red in Schindlers List. I don't know if it was a mistake or not but there's something heartbreaking about this piece.
There is sadness in all things profound, because it's heartbreaking to be human. Our reality is defined by contrast and all great art is born from it. (Remember that when someone accuses God of cruelty) "After years of heavy drinking, Satie died on 1 July 1925 from cirrhosis of the liver. He is buried in the cemetery in Arcueil. There is a tiny stone monument designating a grassy area in front of an apartment building: 'Parc Erik Satie'. Over the course of his 27 years in residence at Arcueil, where Satie lived in stark simplicity, no one had ever visited his room." - From the Wiki.
Beautiful. Thanks for sharing and enlightening. Printed it out at imslp.org/wiki/4_Ogives_(Satie,_Erik). Good to play when too impatient to halfway master a Debussy piece. I'm not that good.
@nadaniente115a Exactly: In the mind of the namer, they are divested of everything other than that which is contained within the name. Until, that is, the ghosts are destroyed, and their essences are once again freed. So I guess I should have said, "temporarily imprisoned". I think we actually see this the same way, which is nice. Perhaps that is why, it is so difficult to talk about.
Satie was a true master of melancholy melody with timing and space; unorthodox improvisational timing, like life, unexpected; so minimal, so gentle and punctuating chords that convey such poignant emotion. His sad life reflects in music our own tragedies, but always with a note of optimism.
We shall prevail.
She was the love of his life, but not the love of hers ...
well said
Nice words
Really wish my generation would take a moment and just listen to music like this. It changes your mind, body, and soul.
RIP Reinbert de Leeuw 08.09.1938 - 14.02.2020
RIP
Rest in peace....
The best Satie
Timing patience
Is hardly inherited
Talent falls short
Since no such thing
Hardworking prevail
Pain we all share

Any ear may hear find
Slowly walking to grave

It's interesting to hear how Satie developed his early style. He truly was a modernist.
Music that is full of emotion, and meant to move you usually doesn't move me at all. This does. Pointed Gothic church arches. Knowing that young Satie wrote it in his small appartment while Big Composers had success with huge romantic works in opera houses.
True, I agree. His project was not making what was considered at that time "beautiful music". Thank you. :-)
Indeed. Thank you nadaniente for uploading this music!
I loved Satie when I was a punk, and still love him so many years later.

This music is somewhat modal. This shows how Satie was exploring other scales and modulati😊ns. Debussy did likewise after hearing Javanese gamelan.
Beautifully done: the music and the paintings. I would pay to see perhaps a 35-minute 'display' of this type at a theatre or museum. Well done.

The translation of "ogive" is ogive. In a gothic church it's the style of the windows.
Ogee in English. 'Ogival' means 'having the shape of an ogee'.

Perchè era fuori da qualsiasi " ismo " ? Perchè aveva intuito che quel mondo , così meravigliosamente artefatto, sarebbe crollato di lì a poco con la prima guerra mondiale. Ne aveva compreso i prodromi del disfacimento.
So beautifully played
I'm sure he is in heaven now.
my the most favorite painter is Monet .
nadaniente, I will give you an ice cream if you write down the names of the paintings! or two.
Keep your money, grandpa, and go see a doctor. Either you suffer from ADD or you need glasses. After you buy the glasses you will see the name of the painter at the end of the video. Look above too, it's there.
@@nadaniente115a it seems me, you need education in zivilisated conversations plus glasses! i begged you for the name of the paintings. not for the name of the painter, do you see? but now it is no longer necessary. Goodbye with the best wishes for your future!
Your sense of humor only works in one direction, it seems. When it comes for the names of the paintings you google the painter and maybe they mention the name of the paintings, not always though. I am tired of answering that kind of question, you were just one among many others. Myself I use Google when I want that kind of information. Have a nice day!
@monkeycarz how can you destroy them if being named they only exist as names? ghosts cannot be destroyed...
There are no prodigy's playing any music with a 'deeper though', it's not just Satie.
They cannot understand this music, which is the largest part of playing Satie.
ありがとう これからもありがとうございます
Wonderful.
Delightful! Played so beautifully...thank you.
Lovely stuff !
エリックサティーに出会ったのは中学生になって間もないころ、父親が選んで聴かせてくれました。衝撃的かつ落ち着きました。何かを求めて探し続けた。今もかな

RIP
I loved This !!!!
I listened to this just after watching the scene with the girl in red in Schindlers List. I don't know if it was a mistake or not but there's something heartbreaking about this piece.
There is sadness in all things profound, because it's heartbreaking to be human. Our reality is defined by contrast and all great art is born from it. (Remember that when someone accuses God of cruelty)
"After years of heavy drinking, Satie died on 1 July 1925 from cirrhosis of the liver. He is buried in the cemetery in Arcueil. There is a tiny stone monument designating a grassy area in front of an apartment building: 'Parc Erik Satie'. Over the course of his 27 years in residence at Arcueil, where Satie lived in stark simplicity, no one had ever visited his room." - From the Wiki.
@monkeycarz I liked your comment! Cheers! :-)
Overwelmend prachtig :-)
Mee eens

Thank you!
I love Satie
Beautiful. Thanks for sharing and enlightening. Printed it out at imslp.org/wiki/4_Ogives_(Satie,_Erik). Good to play when too impatient to halfway master a Debussy piece. I'm not that good.

@nadaniente115a Exactly: In the mind of the namer, they are divested of everything other than that which is contained within the name. Until, that is, the ghosts are destroyed, and their essences are once again freed. So I guess I should have said, "temporarily imprisoned". I think we actually see this the same way, which is nice. Perhaps that is why, it is so difficult to talk about.
