This book based on the Microjazz concept of graded pieces in popular styles contains a set of rhythmically orientated compositions which take into account the range and particular character of the solo instrument. Stimulating accompaniments allied to tuneful and rhythmic solo parts provide a storehouse of styles for players of all ages. The solo parts are of moderate technical difficulty but they all repay close study by players of any standard. Most of the accompaniments which are also easy may be played on piano electric or electronic keyboards.

In making this piano reduction the arranger has attempted to retain as much of the original version (for string orchestra and harpsichord) as possible to give the soloist a clear idea of what is going on in the orchestra. Therefore certain passages especially in the third movement Elegy are rather tricky and not always easily playable. The composer’s suggests omitting some of the notes in the chords if required or for example when a chord is repeated in succession to play the chord in full on the beat but to play only the outer notes of the chord after the beat. Where necessary spread chords can be played as marked.

The music scene took notice of Erik Satie (1866-1925) all of a sudden: The world premiere of his ballet 'Parade' on 18 May 1917 caused quite a scandal. The production which involved Sergey Diaghilev with his 'Ballets Russes', Pablo Picasso (scenery and costumes), Jean Cocteau (story) as well as Léonide Massine (choreography) divided the music scene of Paris, yet made the composer widely known. Satie who hardly had had any solid musical training and lived in Paris for almost all his life developed a new musical style, in deliberate rejection of the 'Wagnérisme' of his time. Classical form models, new harmonies, stylistic ease, meditative and clownish elements amalgamated in an original way, the perfect example being his '3 Gymnopédies' of 1888 the first of which was here arranged for a solo instrument with piano accompaniment: Thus, it is now possible, even for non-pianists, to play this famous miniature by Satie. Thanks to its easy playability, it can also be used for educational purposes. / Trompette Et Piano
