    I wonder if you can demonstrate and explain how to touch the piano keys  to produce these beautiful sound when you play this piece. ( for both hands)

    I wonder the sound balance between right hand and left hand.
    appreciate it

    Regarding the lack of performances of Satie, this year Hélène Grimaud’s recital included 4 Satie pieces at SF Symphony: https://www.sfsymphony.org/Buy-Tickets/2021-22/Helene-Grimaud

    Can someone clarify why most editions have the initial chords split across two clefs?
