Erik Satie's "Nouvelles pièces enfantines (3)" is a collection of three short piano pieces composed in 1913. The premiere of the work took place on May 18, 1914, at the Salle Gaveau in Paris. The three movements are titled "Petite ouverture à danser," "Petite marche gaie," and "Petit prélude à la journée." The first movement, "Petite ouverture à danser," is a lively and playful piece that opens with a fanfare-like motif in the right hand. The left hand provides a steady accompaniment, and the piece features several contrasting sections with different rhythms and melodies. The movement ends with a return to the opening fanfare. The second movement, "Petite marche gaie," is a cheerful march with a simple melody that is repeated throughout the piece. The left hand provides a steady rhythm, and the piece gradually builds in intensity before ending with a playful flourish. The final movement, "Petit prélude à la journée," is a gentle and introspective piece that features a simple melody in the right hand accompanied by a flowing arpeggio in the left hand. The piece has a dreamy quality and ends quietly, as if the day is just beginning. Overall, "Nouvelles pièces enfantines (3)" is a charming and accessible work that showcases Satie's talent for creating simple yet effective melodies and rhythms. The pieces are well-suited for young pianists or those looking for a light and enjoyable repertoire.
