Gymnopédie No. 1 by Erike Satie (1866-1925)
-----------------------------------------------------------
Erik Satie (1866-1925), a pioneering French composer and pianist associated with the avant-garde movement, is renowned for his influential contributions to classical music. Among his most famous works is the "Gymnopédie No. 1," composed in 1888. Notable for its innovative harmonic language and minimalist style, the piece has had a profound impact on both classical and popular music. Its ethereal and contemplative atmosphere, achieved through repetition and sparse textures, contributes to its enduring appeal. Gymnopédie No. 1's cinematic use, widespread recognition, and cultural significance as a departure from traditional norms underscore its lasting impact on the musical landscape, making it a timeless and beloved composition.

Best Version I have come across so far.. Awesome. Best time to learn this composition is when you are deeply in love ( and still find the time to practice).
