Chopin’s Revenge – IV. "Broken Keys" by Tom Connell

The final piece in the Chopin’s Revenge suite, Broken Keys is a fiery and dramatic solo piano work that pushes both technique and emotion to the limit. Combining dazzling Chopin-esque flourishes with jagged, almost percussive dissonances, this piece captures the raw energy of a piano seemingly on the verge of breaking apart.

From cascading arpeggios to thunderous low-end chords, Broken Keys alternates between moments of delicate beauty and bursts of unrestrained power. Impressionist jazz harmonies weave through the turbulence, adding unexpected color and tension to the piece. A fitting finale to the suite, Broken Keys is both a testament to the piano’s expressive range and a thrilling ride for any listener.

Chopins Revenge - IV. Broken Keys

"Tales of a Sparrow" is the result of 47 years of life experience—looking back, capturing a snapshot of my journey, and embracing both the highs and lows. Through it all, my oldest and dearest friend, the piano, has been my voice.

I feel incredibly blessed and privileged to do what I love. Composing not only allows me to process my own complex psyche but, in an ironic way, helps me remain a simple man—and for that, I am deeply grateful.

A heartfelt thank you to my dear friend Parastoo Rahmanian for her beautiful and inspirational painting, which graces the cover of this release

Erik Satie (1866–1925)
Erik Satie was a French composer and pianist, renowned for his unconventional and often humorous approach to music, which was ahead of its time and played a pivotal role in the development of modern music. Born on May 17, 1866, in Honfleur, France, Satie’s work was marked by a distinctive simplicity, originality, and wit, often challenging traditional forms and musical expectations.

Satie’s compositions are characterized by their minimalist, repetitive structures, unconventional harmonies, and unexpected juxtapositions of moods. His best-known works, such as Gymnopédies, Gnossiennes, and Trois morceaux en forme de poire, are celebrated for their introspective atmosphere, gentle rhythms, and subtle, evocative textures. These pieces, particularly the Gymnopédies, are considered some of the earliest examples of Impressionism in music, and they influenced not only the composers of his time, including Claude Debussy, but also the development of later movements such as minimalism and ambient music.

Beyond his music, Satie was a colorful and eccentric figure, known for his distinctive personality and his willingness to break with tradition. His work often reflected his unconventional philosophy of life, and he frequently infused his music with humor, surrealism, and even absurdity. He coined terms like "furniture music" to describe his experimental, ambient-style compositions, which anticipated the avant-garde developments of the 20th century.

Satie was a key figure in the French avant-garde movement and collaborated with notable artists, including Jean Cocteau and Pablo Picasso. Although he struggled financially and was often overlooked during his lifetime, his influence grew posthumously, and today he is regarded as one of the most innovative and idiosyncratic composers of the early 20th century.

The Erik Satie profile on SoundCloud is dedicated to showcasing his timeless compositions, offering a variety of interpretations of his works. From the iconic piano solos to orchestral arrangements, this profile brings Satie’s unique musical vision to life, allowing listeners to experience the subtle beauty, humor, and innovation that define his legacy.precursor to later artistic movements such as minimalism, repetitive music, and the Theatre of the Absurd.
