Erik Satie

Satie: Gymnopédie No. 1. Lent et douloureux

Erik Satie (1866–1925) was a French composer and pianist. Today he is best known to us through his well-loved Gymnopédies, the small melancholic piano pieces from 1890, but at the time of his death in 1925, Satie was barely known beyond the city limits of Paris.That's not the case today.
