Eric Satie - Gymnopedie No. 1 - (Abridged) Yamaha GC-1 Baby Grand

From a simplified/beginner book. "37 Simplified Classical Pieces for Piano".
Not an easy song for a beginner, in my opinion, because of the moving left hand and the necessity for a slow, steady tempo , but the left hand does tend to come after a while of practice. A very beautiful piece that is different in this version from the original. I extended the ending slightly, etc. The performance is not 100% verbatim from the book.
From Wikipedia:
The Gymnopédies (French pronunciation: [ʒim.nɔ.pe.di]), or Trois Gymnopédies, are three piano compositions written by French composer and pianist Erik Satie. He completed the whole set by 2 April 1898, but they were at first published individually: the first and the third in 1888, the second in 1895.
The work's unusual title comes from the French form of gymnopaedia, the ancient Greek word for an annual festival where young men danced naked – or perhaps simply unarmed. The source of the title has been a subject of debate. Satie and his friend Alexis Roland-Manuel maintained that he adopted it after reading Gustave Flaubert's novel Salammbô, while others see a poem by J. P. Contamine de Latour as the source of Satie's inspiration, since the first Gymnopédie was published in the magazine La Musique des familles in the summer of 1888 together with an excerpt of Latour's poem Les Antiques, where the term appears.

In November 1888, the third Gymnopédie was published. The second Gymnopédie did not appear until 1895, and its impending publication was announced in several editions of the Chat Noir and Auberge du Clou magazines. As a whole, the three pieces were published in 1898.[1]
