About "Gymnopedies No. 1":
"Gymnopedies No. 1" is the 1st one of the three pieces from Gymnopedies by a French Composer, Erik Satie (1866 – 1925) from the minimalist era. The Gymnopedies is probably the most well-known work by Erik Satie. And No. 1 of it is also the most famous piece among the three.
Tips for playing Level 3 "Gymnopedies No. 1"
This particular arrangement is at Level 3 (Easy), and it's in the key of D major which is the original key written by Satie. There are only a few suggested fingering numbers on the music score. There are a lot of tied notes. Try your best to hold those notes as long as they are supposed to be held. This arrangement is a lot easier than the original. But it sounds as good as the original. Even though it is at Level 3, you still have to move around quite a lot (especially, left hand). Follow the damper pedal signs provided precisely to make the piece flow well. Play slowly, gently and softly.
