Satie - Gymnopédie No. 1
Sheet music for flute
| Info: | The Gymnopédies, published in Paris starting in 1888, are three piano compositions. These short, atmospheric pieces are written in 3/4 time, with each sharing a common theme and structure, important precursor to modern ambient music. The Gymnopédies are gentle yet somewhat eccentric pieces which, when composed, defied the classical tradition. |
