About 'Gymnopédie No.1'

Artist:

Erik Satie (

biography)

Born:

1866 , Honfleur

Died:

1925 , Paris

The Artist:

Eccentric French composer who influenced the Parisian composers of the early 20th century, including Debussy and Stravinsky. His ballet Parade was performed by Diaghilev and displayed a jazz influence. He is known for his comic and bizarre titles, such as 'Three Pear-shaped pieces'.

Composed:

1888

Info:

Probably Satie's most famous piece. The Gymnopédies impressed many with their startlingly sparse compositions which conveyed powerfully simple emotive impact - Debussy himself was so impressed he orchestrated the pieces himself.
