Description
Written in Satie's early thirties, this compact piece runs about two minutes. Its unusual pacing and the quiet strangeness within otherwise simple harmonic progressions already hint at the humor of his later style, and its advanced rating calls for expressive range within a short span.
A broad collection of standalone piano pieces not belonging to any specific set, offering hundreds of varied character pieces to explore and compare.
