Gymnopédie No. 1 is one of Erik Satie's most well-known pieces. Radical in its day, it has become ever-present in Western culture, including being used as background music in film and in various “relaxation” playlists for LP records, CD, and streaming platforms. Marked “slow and sorrowful” (or “painful”) Gymnopédie No. 1 projects the peculiarly French ennui, the hard-to-translate feeling that mixes fatigue and boredom tinged with melancholy. |
