Gymnopédie No. 1 by Erik Satie

Erik Satie’s Gymnopédie No. 1 is a masterpiece of simplicity and calm — a piece that speaks through space, stillness, and subtle color. Its slow, floating rhythm and dreamy harmonies create a meditative atmosphere that I find both soothing and challenging to sustain with balance and grace.

This performance captures my current stage in shaping tone and phrasing. It’s a work in progress, and I invite you to listen kindly as I continue learning how to let each note breathe with quiet emotion.
