Gymnopédie No. 1

Erik Satie

A slow, spacious piece with a gently swaying accompaniment. Listen carefully to the long melody notes.

Make a little progress

  1. Listen once and watch where the notes meet the keyboard.
  2. Set playback to half speed. Hear the right hand on its own.
  3. Choose two bars and switch on the loop.
  4. Add the left hand when the phrase feels familiar.
