Le Nocturne est une pièce de musique née à l’époque classique et était destiné à l’orchestre. A l’époque du romantisme, ce genre a changé de caractère pour devenir une miniature musicale, surtout pour le piano. Les Nocturnes de Chopin ont été écrits à diverses époques de sa courte vie. Ils sont une image fidèle de son âme de poète. Ils constituent peut-être son plus grand titre de gloire, ils sont ses oeuvres les plus parfaites.

La nature de son talent; la pureté de la forme, presque toujours avec avec cette empreinte de mélancolie rêveuse qui donne tant de charme à tout ce qu’il a écrit, se développe dans les Nocturnes avec une élégance incomparable. Lorsque Chopin les jouait, il y ajoutait une ornementation issue de l’opéra italien, fines gouttelettes perlées traduisant au piano l’art vocal du ‘portamento’ et de la ‘coloratura’.

L’atmosphère profondément intériorisée des Nocturnes, leur aspect de murmure tourné vers soi, à rebours de tout effet spectaculaire, est en fait ce qu’il y a de plus difficile à rendre. L’extrême pudeur et l’extrême poésie d’Arrau qui égrène chaque note, chaque arabesque, chaque inflexion du piano avec une retenue presque douloureuse donnent à ces Nocturnes quelque chose de poignant. Se remémorant, au creux d’une nuit qui pourrait être ultime, les tendresses qui l’ont effleuré, les drames qui l’on griffé, les rêveries qui l’ont bercé, Arrau, à travers Chopin, dialogue avec lui-même et l’on est presque gêné d’être présent.

Son piano, aux sonorités chaudes ou argentées, automnales ou apaisées, est comme un carnet intime sur lequel il note des secrets en se les fredonnant, avec une poignée de souffle qui vient embuer la vitre devant laquelle il veille. Au creux de cette nuit qu’on partage avec lui, c’est toute une vie qui passe en vingt et un poèmes envoûtants qui sont vingts et un chefs d’oeuvres recréés. En récompense pour cette interprétation sublime, Claudio Arrau a reçu le diapason d’or de l’année 1979.

Erik Satie - Gymnopédies

Alfred Eric Leslie Satie (Honfleur, 17 May 1866 — Paris, 1 July 1925) was a French composer and pianist. Starting with his first composition in 1884, he signed his name as Erik Satie.

Satie was introduced as a «gymnopedist» in 1887, shortly before writing his most famous compositions, the Gymnopédies. Later, he also referred to himself as a «phonometrograph» or «phonometrician» (meaning «someone who measures (and writes down) sounds») preferring this designation to that of «musician,» after having been called «a clumsy but subtle technician» in a book on contemporary French composers published in 1911.

In addition to his body of music, Satie also left a remarkable set of writings, having contributed work for a range of publications, from the dadaist 391 to the American Vanity Fair. Although in later life he prided himself on always publishing his work under his own name, in the late nineteenth century he appears to have used pseudonyms such as Virginie Lebeau and François de Paule in some of his published writings.

Satie was a colourful figure in the early 20th century Parisian avant-garde. He was a precursor to later artistic movements such as minimalism, repetitive music and the Theatre of the Absurd.
The Gymnopédies, published in Paris starting in 1888, are three piano compositions written by French composer and pianist, Erik Satie.

These short, atmospheric pieces are written in 3/4 time, with each sharing a common theme and structure. Collectively, the Gymnopedies are regarded as the precursors to modern ambient music[citation needed] — gentle yet somewhat eccentric pieces which, when composed, defied the classical tradition. For instance, the first few bars feature a disjunct chordal theme in the bass — first, a G-major 7th in the bass, and then a B-minor chord, also in the lower register. Then comes the one-note theme in D major. Although the collection of chords at first seems too complex to be harmonious, the melody soon imbues the work with a soothing atmospheric quality.

Satie himself used the term «furniture music» to refer to some of his pieces, implying they could be used as mood-setting background music. However, Satie used this term to refer to only some of his later, 20th century compositions, without specific reference to the Gymnopédies as background music. From the second half of the 20th century on, the Gymnopédies were often erroneously described as part of Saties body of furniture music, perhaps due to John Cages interpretation of them.
