I love Satie's Gymnopedies and Gnossiennes!

Erik and I were also born on the same day, May 17th.

French Impressionists Debussy, Satie, and Ravel have some of the most beautiful, surrealistic piano works I've ever heard. Debussy in particular had a very wide range of musical influences. You can hear Scott Joplin's ragtime influence in "Golliwog's Cakewalk," and Chopin's influence in many of his earlier works.

The Impressionists were huge influences on early Jazz composers. There's actually a classic interview of Frank Sinatra on the Johnny Carson show where Frank admits that he played the music of Maurice Ravel and Claude Debussy when he had women over at his place. Great taste, Frank!

I concur! I've always loved how they are so simple and yet still so beautiful, the Gymnopédies I mean.

It would be cool to find the music for all of Children's Corner. Other than this one I've only heard the one that I play from it, but I've loved playing it since I first discovered it, so it would be interesting to learn all of it.

Don't worry..I'll probably disappear again soon for a few days because I am composing and I tend to forget to do anything else for 14 hour blocks of time :roll:
That should give you time to catch up!

Good luck. Eat lots and lots of broccoli.
