The Gymnopédies by Erik Satie are three piano compositions of extraordinary beauty.

Gentle, eccentric pieces which defied the classical tradition.

The name Gymnopédie is thought to be a reference to Satie’s joke at a party when, concerned by his lack of formal qualifications, on being asked his profession, he replied Gymnopaedist – which means – ‘naked athlete’.
