@@NahreSol can you make albums in his style Gnossienne 1, at least do 12 my bb girl give ur daddy what he want, make them to remind me your smile your sweetnes my princess
As a self taught jazz/pop/blues pianist, it is incredibly helpful to have someone break down classical music. Classical is really lacking in my repertoire and skill set so I love learning more. Your videos make me feel both very inadequate and very determined to improve! Thank you.
I think you're on to something with using abstract gifs to teach music... it really cuts through the barrage of theory that is kind of inevitable, but the gifs make it easier to relate and memorise the concepts. Do more!!
You have -no- idea how long i've been looking (and thus waiting) for something like this!! I can't thank you enough. Satie spoke to me so many years ago, he's the sole reason i taught myself the basics of piano, to be able to play his gorgeously twisted and often unpredictable twists and turns. Many composers/pianists I've tried to talk to about him (in the hopes of some analytical breakthrough) tend to brush him off as simplistic or even naïve, but they are so missing the point. So thank you for showing respect to his genius and sharing the construct of his musical mannerisms with me and with the world. Liked & subscribed, looking forward to more of these!
So happy to hear that someone else also appreciates my favourite composer. People I've talked to irl about him were not impressed to say the least... Which is sad, but oh well...
One thing is missing from your analysis! Extremely poetic and quirky interpretation notes such as (approximative translations): Du bout de la pensee ( From the tip of the thought) Avec une tristesse rigoureuse ( With a rigorous sadness) Tres luisant (Very shimmery) Conseillez-vous soigneusement (Councel yourself thoroughly) Munissez-vous de clairvoyance ( Supply yourself with clairvoyance) De maniere a obtenir un creux ( So as to obtain a hollow) And my favorite: Ouvrez la tete (Open the head) However surrealistic some may sound, they are actually very accurate descriptions of the ambiance required.
And the classic instruction before the piece "Vexations" - "In order to play the theme 840 times in succession, it would be advisable to prepare oneself beforehand, and in the deepest silence, by serious immobilities"
canzo0378 no, he’s definitely not just bragging about his French. It makes sense for him to use French since, ya know, Satie was French. And a lot of his pieces utilize French on the sheet music as a way of telling the pianist how to play it (Gymnopedie No. 1 says “Lent et douloureux” basically means slow and painful). Either you’re making a joke or you’re being serious. If you’re being serious, you really should think about why he’s using French in his comment
Nahre talks about this in a later video (Satie's "daily routine"), those comments are rather on the ironic side of things. Some can make sense in the context of playing but others like "conseillez-vous soigneusement" are more playful than anything in my opinion. A satiric guy who's music I enjoy very much :)
Informative and so fun to watch 😊had a smile on my face throughout the entire video! Side note: I also just stumbled upon your channel yesterday - super impressed with your analytical skills and also the quirky animations in your videos
You interpreting great composers helps us discover our own interpretation of great composers ... bonding us closer to the music itself. We grow immensely from your passionate insight of others creative personalities. Thank you again.
Ahh there are so many comments I'll feel bad if mine doesn't go through. I just have a really genuine feeling I want to express about your talent. It's amazing and I've been touched emotionally on a really deep level, I love your work so much!
The visuals above the piano are so intriguingly coherent, and the breakdown of Satie was shockingly good. I was expecting those dark chords not to work, but once those techniques of grace notes, plagal cadences, and repeated notes, and octaves came in, wow, it sounded like Satie reincarnated.
I actually made a piano improvisation that sounded like a demonic Satie piece, and the things you're mentioning here match very nicely with what I've noticed. I'd say Trois Gimnopedes no. 1 is my favorite!
2:58 I would love to hear more of that "filigree", just wow. Left this tab open for many weeks and came back to hear it again just now (and no doubt, many times more).
The quality of your videos is shocking. Thank you for putting out such incredibly detailed and polished content. So informative and such a joy to watch
Would you please consider making a similar videos about Chopin, Debussy or Ravel? This video was very informative and interesting and I would love to see your take on other composers :)
Peter-Andre' Pliassov Yes! I plan to make more in the future... So far the Bach and Satie videos were tied to their birthdays, but this not be absolutely necessary...
That's great to hear! I'm looking forward to seeing more. And also, thank you for the videos you've made so far. Your videos continue to inspire me and remind me to have fun while practicing.
Omg, Nahre. I just discovered your channel 10 min ago. I'm in love! If you haven't made the video yet, tell us how you got into animation - your animations are so good! Btw, your playing is beautiful, too - no question ;)
Hello! Thank you so much!! Welcome -- Bobby, my dog, and I are glad you're here 🐶😊 Yes about the video editing video, I might do one in the near future...
his Cinq Nocturnes No. 2 absolutely floored me when I heard it for the first time this spring. I felt an alien sense of joy and also felt like I was on another celestial body entirely. I think there are no 3rds, or no major 3rds until somewhere in the last couple bars or something. Sweet composer. Great video.
I don't think I've ever subscribed based on a single video, but there's a first time for everything right. I love Satie's music, and videos like these help me appreciate it even more. Great job!
Satie was my favorite to play in college (still is) and I also love to write/improvise music. I am so pleased to find your brilliant explanation/demonstration of how to play in his style!
I always find my eyes filling when I listen to Satie - I even found this happening when listening to the characteristic Satie phrases you explained!There must be something which resonates with the sounds within my brain.....
Just discovered you're channel today! I love Satie so I just had to watch this, I'm not a huge fan of other classical composers but I love Satie's work, it's so unique.
Thank you very much for producing your videos. You're playing and insights are absolutely wonderful. Thanks for sharing. I am a blues musician and have been since 1955. But I'm also known for my improvisations. I taught myself how to play Blues piano, but I have listened to a lot of music, especially classical and world music in addition to Blues. I have been actively improvising all this time. Not only on Blues changes, but on very free form music. Some of the members of my bands have been leading members of new music programs at the University. I performed in front of thousands of people in totally improvised settings. Improvising is absolutely not a foreign thing for me. I would love to improvise with you someday. I don't know how that could ever happen, but I would welcome the opportunity. Thanks again for all your dedication and generous revealing yourself to those of us on the internet.
I love this. Satie is my all time favorite composer, and you hit the nail on the head with this video :) My favorite Satie pieces are Nocturne no.2 & 3, and Gnossienne no. 4 What are yours??
Nice! I always learn/teach modes with mood associations. For example, Ionian ♭2 feels and sounds like circus, with the unexpected flattened second. Phrygian has bellicosity and war-like air to it, Spanish feel if moderate. Byzantine ♯4 is just super mysterious, especially when played on the flute.
This is an amazing video. Deconstructing the Characteristics of Satie and re-adding them one by one is a nice visualization on its own, but combining that with the counter-examples and the small illustrations/gifs really makes things even more accessible. I had little contact with music theory in my life so far, but videos like these really get through. Thanks for making this.
finally someone speaks in modes, really accurate video i would call your "locrian bb7" (2:03) as "locrian b7" cuz thats what you played imo. amazing animations too. and the fantasy over the concept, you also nailed it. pure quality
It is not hard to sound like Satie, the Gymnopedies are predominantly quite simple and to emulate a Gymnopedie just use inversions and only occasionally play the tonic as bass in the left hand using a lot of sevenths and sixths and fourth chords and using these added tonalities as a bass anchor like the sixth instead of third or fifth of the quadrad or pentad. Resolving Suspensions on slow moving melodies that either walk up or down and describe broken chords for right hand melodies and that's about it. I think you are playing much too fast and rushing Satie, look at his tempo indication for Trois Gymnopedies, they are all Grave !
What a wonderful video. Gymnopedie n.1 was the first piece I learned on the piano, followed by Gnossienne n.1, and currently trying to learn Gnossienne n.3. Satie's music is so beautiful and mysterious, and yet so simple. But now I wanna learn more about the theory. I don't even know what a "plagal movement" is
I love Satie. Your happy birthday is probably the most beautiful rendering I have ever heard. You're an amazing artist! Subscribed, And thanks to YT for offering this at my birtthday! (more luck than anything else I suspect ;-)
What is so wonderful about a good music teacher, is the way the knowledge is conveyed to seem accessible. and as a guitarist, with a broad church of musical tastes, I am enthralled and inspired.
Whoa! I just happened to come across your channel though UA-cam's IG while listening to Satie; he's my favorite composer and I didn't quite understand what I liked about his music, as I'm not really music literate. Thank you for this! This was informative, despite me not really understanding the technicalities. I look forward to watching your other videos. You stopped right before Gnossienne No. 1 got exciting; that was so frustrating haha.
Your choices of visual representation are very well acomplished, your talent on the piano is very present and you are able to make it in a very didactic meaning. Being a 21-yo engineering stundent with just a little classic music knowledge, I felt very entertained and you made it very beautifully. A warm thank you from Portugal!
Your channel is pure gold! I love Satie, I tried to sound like him in the past but couldn't really manage to. But this is life-changing stuff! Thank you, hope you'll get the appreciation you deserve :)
I've been seen this video dozens of times in the last year! Now finally got myself a keyboard and I'm set to learn this! wonderful Miss Sol! thank you...perfect quarantine study
Just stumbled across your page accidentally and I don’t regret it. I really enjoy the imagery you add. Really takes you to another place. Def. subscribed. Keep up the good work.
This is sooo cool ! I didnt think there was so much to Satie's music. I loved the video as I love Satie . Thank you. The little dog is a music lover . . .and cute !
I really enjoy all the gifs and other touches you add to your videos! Also, I really like Erik Satie so this was really neat to watch, keep up the good work!
These are so awesome! Your analysis is always so dead-on and enlightening, and your compositional skills in so many settings are super impressive as well. I’ve seen other people request composers, and I don’t want to inundate you with requests but a video breaking down Prokofiev could be really cool and, I think, up your alley. On a slightly different note, a composer who you may not know (or at least not very well) is Einojuhani Rautavaara. His piano concerti are spectacular and, to me, harmonically groundbreaking. He also has some awesome etudes and piano pieces which are easy to find on UA-cam. If you have the time, I’d really check him out!
I love the quality of your videos, you clearly put a lot of effort in them and it shows. I suscribed a few days ago and I'm becoming a huge fan. Keep it up!
Wonderful Video. Such a great style of narrating. Subscribed with the bell after watching three videos in a row today. Always loved Eric Satie and Being There is one of my favorite films. The music and Peter Sellers dead-pan face seems to be intertwined for me. If you want to hear contemporary music of a similar mood you should try Dustin O´Halloran and the more people will listen to his older records, maybe he will finally release another record beside all the soundtracks he is working on lately...
I was exposed to Satie thru the movie "About Schmidt". HIs music goes perfectly well with that movie like bread and butter. It brings out the total artistics that movies tries to convey. I felt in love with Satie from the angle of that movie. Next to enjoy Satie's music without any other 'accompany' will require some effort. I'd love to try. Thanks for the professional (music) education. Very helpful.
I suspect your dog knows more about music than I ever will.

Even your buzzer sections are amazing. You have a very engaging way of explaining complex ideas. Love the visuals too
what an enchantingly cool video!
great stuff! I love how you always have the composer express his disappointment in you :)
frenchef7 thank you !! And yes haha... The composers are usually frowning in my head 😂
I really love how you visually depict the music. It's really helpful, especially with Satie's music. Thank you.
I always feel at ease when I hear Satie. I’m in the zone, mentally.
Cool! Trying to learn piano (in my late 20s lol) and Gymnopedie no 1 is one of my goals. So interesting to see his style dissected.
That's really cool! I love the Gymnopedies... :)
I actually made a piano improvisation that sounded like a demonic Satie piece, and the things you're mentioning here match very nicely with what I've noticed. I'd say Trois Gimnopedes no. 1 is my favorite!
is it on the internet?
what's a gimnopede?
name of one of his pieces. just google it.
Emir Okmen Look for Blutwaltzer on my channel
Trois Gimnopedes No. 1 means 3 gimnopedes number 1. Your favorite is just Gymnopedie No. 1 ;)

I can’t choose between je te vuex or gymnopedie no. 1. And such a cute pup at the end!!!!
Really hard to choose between those two, yess!!
both?
vanishingmoon1 Satie didnt think much of Je te veux. It was just a commercial sell out piece that he could play in the cabarets for money
I don't choose, I play both.
When faced with that choice, choose the little known 5th Gnossienne

I could listen to this composition you made of happy birthday all day on a nice quiet winter day, fits the mood so well
Nice! I always learn/teach modes with mood associations.

Byzantine ♯4 is just super mysterious, especially when played on the flute.
Byzantine #4! Whoa haha 🙈

Thank you Luis! Gnossienne never gets old!
I sound like Erik Satie every day, for I play all his gymnopedies and all his gnossiennes every day (and also "je te veux").

He also has some awesome etudes and piano pieces which are easy to find on UA-cam. If you have the time, I’d really check him out!
Yes!! Will try to do one on Prokofiev one day for sure. And thank you!!! 🙏🙏🙏 Also I've heard of Rautavaara but not in depth yet, thanks!!
Nice Birthday present, Nahre. Loved it.
Thanks for sharing.
Indeed Satie is a very enigmatic composer because he is so simple, laconic and sophiticated at the same time.
You have an incredible talent! I loved your analysis of this style and your sheer creativity
Best instruction ever. I'd ask you to do a Jazz series....but I'm starting to think in these terms myself....the best gift of all...
I love the quality of your videos, you clearly put a lot of effort in them and it shows. I suscribed a few days ago and I'm becoming a huge fan. Keep it up!
Wonderful Video. Such a great style of narrating. Subscribed with the bell after watching three videos in a row today.
Always loved Eric Satie and Being There is one of my favorite films. The music and Peter Sellers dead-pan face seems to be intertwined for me.
If you want to hear contemporary music of a similar mood you should try Dustin O´Halloran and the more people will listen to his older records, maybe he will finally release another record beside all the soundtracks he is working on lately...
I was exposed to Satie thru the movie "About Schmidt". HIs music goes perfectly well with that movie like bread and butter. It brings out the total artistics that movies tries to convey. I felt in love with Satie from the angle of that movie. Next to enjoy Satie's music without any other 'accompany' will require some effort. I'd love to try. Thanks for the professional (music) education. Very helpful.
Thank you! I've loved Satie for years but I learned a lot from your analysis that I didn't know.
