Erik Satie Gymnopédie No. 1 - Tzvi Erez, piano

iTunes http://smarturl.it/Satie This is a recording of Satie's First Gymnopédie, performed on a Bosendorfer piano. Unlike other pianists, I play this composition with full chords in the left hand, not using the right hand to take over notes. From my analysis of Satie's original manuscript, he did not indicate to break chords between the hands. Part of "Intimate Recital". 2010 Niv Classical. http://www.nivmusic.com
