Saties early works (Sarabandes as well)are ritualistic and detached.his intent was music purged of any allusions to romantic rhetoric.the use of excessive rhythmic uniformity was the point-the rejection of music as bougeois entertainment.Satie's musicantcipates the experimental, minimalist aesthetic that emerged after 1960.Satie's radical agenda is of a music going nowhere,anti-romantic and designed to shock and scandalise the audience, much as the surrealists and Cubists did.

A lot of people would want it played extremely slow, and I guess Janne Mertanen comes very close to that interpretation, but I think that's a little too dramatic.I like to think Ciccolini comes closest to how Satie would've played it. Try it, even in the slow videos there's no one playing this softly..

smithsherman, I have to wonder how Satie originally meant it as he wrote it in 1887. You're "clock ticking" analogy actually makes me wonder if he did not mean it like that. From what I've read, Satie was somewhat of a pre-cursor of the avant-garde and the absurdist/surrealist era. Apparently he referred to himself jokingly not as a musician but as a "phonometrician." At the dawn of the industrial age, perhaps he was making a statement on the passage of time and futile efforts to control it.

Has anyone heard Rachel Z do "Moon At The Window"? It's jazz but it is such a feast of how she plays chords.....playing with the voices therein. Her "Moon At The Window" would shine on Youtube, i think so.
