I was very interested in many piano pieces that were composed in Europe. It was difficult to chose a French pianist at first since so much of the music was beautifully composed. But Erik Satie was a composer of one of my most favorite piano pieces to learn back during my lessons.
Gymnopédie No. 1 Composed by Erik Satie
One of my favorite songs composed by Satie, which was published in Paris in 1888 with two other compositions. Definitely one of his most well known pieces. His music is just speechless like many other composers, and I cannot find the right words to explain this song.
Biography of Satie
This is a biography of Erik Satie on the Biography Channel's website. There isn't much information of his life, but there is information of his birth and death dates, where he lived and how he became to be. All of the simple information that you would usually find on most past famous people.
All About Erik and His Music
I find Erik Satie is only well known for his pieces, but not for he himself since I barely see a lot of information about this composer, which isn't very helpful in this situation. But this website does give you more the information of his life in the biography section. There are also a list of his compositions on the compositions tag. If you click on any of his compositions, there will be very detailed descriptions of how he composed that one particular song that you click to see. Like I said earlier, not much information can be found on him, but only his music. Or maybe it's because his music is the thing that describes him.
