About "Gymnopédie No. 1"
1 contributor
The Gymnopédies, published in Paris starting in 1888,
are three piano compositions written by
French composer and pianist Erik Satie.
These short, atmospheric pieces are written in 3
4 time, with each sharing a common theme and structure. Collectively,
the Gymnopédies are regarded as an important precursor to modern
ambient music. The first few bars of Gymnopédie No.
1 consist of an alternating progression of two major seventh
chords, the first on the
subdominant, G, and the second on the tonic, D.
