Erik Satie · 1866–1925
Satie Gymnopedie No 1
Performed by Michael Laucke · 2:52
Originally written for the piano, the Gymnopedies are extremely well-suited to the natural idiomatic expression of the guitar. This arrangement of the Three Gymnopedies comprises ALL the notes of the original piano versions: a complex process since all the piano sounds must fit comfortably, or uncomfortably, onto the six strings of the guitar.
