Danses gothiques
The ''Danses gothiques'' is an 1893 piano composition by Erik Satie, one of the works of his "Rosicrucian" or "mystic" period. It was published posthumously in 1929.〔Eric Schwandt, "A New Gloria for Satie's ''Messe des pauvres''", ''Canadian University Music Review'', vol. 18, no. 2, 1998, p. 40, note 11, at http://www.erudit.org/revue/cumr/1998/v18/n2/1014653ar.pdf〕 A performance lasts around 12 minutes.
==Background==
The ''Danses gothiques'' was composed in the middle of Satie's six-month love affair (January to June, 1893) with the painter Suzanne Valadon, when he was torn between his religious preoccupations of the period and more earthly matters. It was the only intimate relationship he is known to have had, and he was clearly the more emotionally vulnerable of the two. The free-spirited Valadon, whom Satie affectionately called "Biqui", took a room near his at 6 Rue Cortot in Montmartre to facilitate the romance; and she painted a now-famous portrait of him, one of her earliest efforts in oils. But she rejected his proposal of marriage and continued to see other men.〔John Storm, "The Valadon Drama: The Life of Suzanne Valadon", E. P. Dutton & Co., New York, 1959, p. 104.〕 Chief among them was the stockbroker Paul Moussis, with whom she had an intermittent but long-standing liaison until they finally married in 1896. "At that stage in her life, her love affairs seemed to pass over her like sunshine", Valadon biographer June Rose noted.〔June Rose, "Suzanne Valadon: Mistress of Montmartre", St. Martin's, 1999.〕 Given their shared connections in the Montmartre bohemian scene, it is unlikely Satie would not have at least heard rumors about this.〔Olof Höjer, notes to "Erik Satie: The Complete Piano Music, Vol. 2", pp. 18-20, Swedish Society Discofil, 1996.〕 His status as a part-time lover, whether he recognized it or not, is suggested in his only surviving letter to Valadon, dated March 11, 1893. He is trying to arrange a date with her: "Don't forget that your poor friend hopes to see you...Let me add, Biqui chéri, that I shall on no account get angry if you can't come to any of these rendezvous; I have now become terribly reasonable; and in spite of the great happiness it gives me to see you I am beginning to understand that you can't always do what you want."〔Ornella Volta, "Satie Seen Through His Letters", Marion Boyars Publishers, New York, 1989, pp. 45-46.〕
Satie was soon working on the ''Danses gothiques'', which was completed between March 21 and 23, 1893. His conflicted feelings are reflected in the subtitle of the piece, "A Novena for the great calm and profound tranquility of my Soul".〔http://imslp.eu/download.php?file=files/imglnks/euimg/9/95/IMSLP14401-Satie_-_Danses_Gothiques.pdf〕
