Description
One of Satie's characteristically eccentrically titled short pieces from 1913, whose title, 'Automatic Descriptions,' reflects his playful approach to naming as much as to the music itself. Lasting about four and a half minutes at intermediate difficulty, it calls for steady rhythmic fingerwork.
A broad collection of standalone piano pieces not belonging to any specific set, offering hundreds of varied character pieces to explore and compare.

Known for spare, understated music and whimsically titled works, he later influenced minimalist and ambient music.
