This is one of the rare cases where the repeat is absolutely essential part of the music. In the first round our mind is taken on a mysterious journey without a clear harmonic direction. In the second round the mind has accepted the absence of a harmonic center as the new normality and it really starts to feel at home. Listening to a 'conventional' piece of music right after this one feels uncomfortably in your face. At least this is how I feel about this piece and that is one reason why I really love the music of Satie.

I LOVE how his music is never not relevant, every few months/weeks I found people talking about Erik's music on the internet and it warms my heart, he's a legend and should always be remembered as one

So happy to find a pianist who appreciates quiet beauty as well as virtuosity. Thank you.

Satire is like Ringo from the Beatles.
He’s not interested in displaying his instrumental athleticism.
But what he composes as a piece of music is perfection.
And holy smokes… that was one of the most moving renditions of Gymnopedie I’ve ever heard!!

I am drawn back to Satie again and again. You are spot on. This piece is unusual. It seems simplistic and it is not. It has depth, it’s hauntingly beautiful in its slowness, in it’s melody and in it’s movement.
Thanks for playing it and discussing it and illuminating why this piece is a gem and why Satie is brilliant.

I'm a piano beginner and literally just made a recording of this a few days ago. Learning the notes is easy enough, but making it sound good is a lot harder. It's definitely a piece that makes you appreciate dynamics and perfect the synchronization of your key presses.

Thank you for give someone like me with no background in music an insight on why I may love this piece so much, without knowing why.

Love your version. Been a Satie nut my whole life, got countless versions of all his music, and I swear his music is the one that I find people most often get wrong; there's a tenderness to it that needs to be coupled with madness, where madness is allowing the notes to breathe and sing, madness for the player in particular. Thanks! Loved it, including your own piece that has that Satie spirit.

It strikes me that your goal is to write background music for your dogs... Wonderful! Three years ago I used the first minute of this gentle melody as a background to a short video I had recorded of my old Spanish greyhound who meanwhile had died. To me it was the only music I could have used because of her tender and poised nature. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge!

Satie may have claimed that he was trying to create "background music," but this particular piece is something that pulls me in, and has me listening more intently, and focused, than anything else I can think of. It produces a feeling of wonderment: just what is it that I am hearing? Especially those dotted half notes from the left hand, sometimes just speaking "all by themselves," that draw me into listening to the timbre of the piano strings that have been struck to produce them, all the harmonics produced by those 2 or 3 unison-tuned strings producing the "note." I can't explain exactly what it is that I am trying to communicate, but those single tones function for my "inner ear" the way that chords usually do, and awaken my "internal sound;" my "internal sound" resonates with the tone produced by the piano strings. It is kind of as if, by listening to this "background music" one is directed to listen to one's self (notice I did not write oneself) and not so much to the music. So yes, "meditative." Part of the enjoyment of listening to this pieces is this particular piano, the timbre of this piano that Nahre Sol is using. The lower register seems very nice, even on my inexpensive little speakers.

Satie is by far my favorite. He has so much to offer, his nocturnes are something out of this world.

To my ear, Satie sounds like a hint of Jazz and Ragtime that would follow. I love this piece, and everything Satie I've ever heard. My favorite pianist to play Satie is Klara Kormendi (she plays on many of Naxos' Satie recordings). I think your version captures the pathos and wistfulness the way hers does, and is equally good. Thanks for adding to my love for Satie.

Dear Nahre,
You have such a great gift of explaining hidden functionalities of music in such an understandable way. The elegance by which you propagate the secrets of music always touches me.
Thank you so much.

Back then when I was still teenager, this is the only classical music that I really enjoyed listen to, as it could take my mind wondering. It evokes a peculiar feeling like missing someone/something that I never met - in a loving kinda way. It's right in the feels. Isn't that the true magic of music? Underrated, indeed. Thank you for this video!

Your inspired addition at the end is extremely beautiful I wish you would expand where you were going. I'm sure that Satie would have loved your development because it makes so much sense and isn't over done, you've respectfully kept the true flavor of the original music. You play with such grace.

Satie's music has to be the deepest of all the great classical composers. his music takes me somewhere else whenever i listen. makes you feel sad in a good way...haunting, i love music like that. Satie is the King of Melancholy.

I'm not a musician and can't play anything, but I really love this piece. I've got a number of recordings of it. One thing I notice that pianists seem to have trouble with is varying the tempo of the piece. I think the tempo is really hard to get right. It's "simplicity" sets it apart from much of classical music, as you pointed out. It's just so relaxing and contemplative.... Lovely homage.

I absolutely adore your postlude! It truly fits the mood and tone of Satie’s piece while also being original and different.

I've heard this piece performed maybe hundreds of times by now, but never more beautifully than this - possibly never as beautifully AS this. Just when I thought this overworked warhorse of the piano literature had no more to offer me, here comes Nahre to demonstrate quite otherwise. Just leaned back in my chair and sighed gently with pleasure through the whole piece. And, it added so much value for me to see your hands on the keys and to follow along on the score. If there are better examples of successfully combining education and aesthetic beauty, I don't know about them. Thanks so much, Nahre.

This was written in a time when music was becoming more about the performer than the music itself. Satie was a true artist
