RE: The morgenseiten of Katharsisdrill 23 - who is Jeanne de Bret?
Gymnopedie is one of the most beautiful pieces of music I've come across, I especially love this version arranged by Debussy.
What an unusual way to discover to Satie :-)
I always preferred the original piano versions, but I know Debussy's two orchestrated versions - for some reason he didn't think the second was meant for orchestra? I love Debussy but I do not think he improves the piano pieces, which are quite hard to play actually. They do not have much space for interpretation, and none for playing wrong which makes them terrible to practice :)
So much jazz in these two composers.
