Learn to play Erik Satie - Gymnopédie No.1 on piano.

I love 'Avril 14th', I had not connected it before to Satie (who I've only just heard of, my poor musical background knowledge).

I practiced enough to learn to play Satie - Gnossienne No.

I can just imagine Satie playing fauxbourdon with fifths-- because, why not?-- and a teacher telling him it's wrong and therefore not to do it.

I like the album and the music, it's a different side to Satie more reflective of the era, provides some context and perspective on his works.

Select Eric Satie's Gymnopedies and just hit the keys as fast as possible at a regular tempo.

My favorite Satie piece is “Vexations” [1], a short clip that the composer ostensibly wished to be played 840 times in a row.

So it's the painting version of ambient or furniture music, art which aspires to the condition of Erik Satie's or Brain Eno's compositions.

I think Guaraldi is almost like a jazz version of Erik Satie, who’s been discussed here a few times.

Ian Penman wrote a fantastic biography of Satie, published earlier this year.

A friend told me a story about Satie, that they found two pianos in his appartement, one stacked on the other, with unpaid bills tossed on the top.

Given the plural, the tendency would be to believe he meant something like "the bastards." Of course, given the rest of the article, Satie could easily have meant "the cows," although I strongly doubt it.

Two great quotes from The Browser summary: “There are many kinds of eccentric and Satie was most of them" “He may not have been a great composer, but he was a great Satie” Funny, I considered submitting this link yesterday, but assumed it may not be hacker-y enough.
