I've been playing Erik Satie at dinner lately.

About the time rd95 posted this question, I had headphones on and was working on No. 1. I've gotten past the choke point of 274 days ago and can now get through the first of four pages and several measures of page 2. Pages 3 and 4 are identical to the first two, except for a couple of notes, so I might be able to manage the whole thing in another 274 days.

A couple years ago, I heard Gymnopedie no. 8 once, then forgot about it for a few months. When I heard it again it kind of blew my mind.

Yes. It is very powerful stuff. He was able to tap into something universal.
