Gymnopedie, no 1, Erik Satie - very easy Piano

A very easy piano arrangement by Len Rhodes of the first of Erik Satie's wonderful Gymnopedie. Designed for the early piano pupil (UK grade 1) as an introduction to the classic piano piece. The right hand has to change position as the melody covers more than a simple 5-finger position, but technically, there is nothing demanding.

This arrangement is one of many in Len's "Introduction to Classic Piano for the Young Pianist" series, where significantly simplified classic piano literature comes to life for the younger player who is not quite proficient to advance to the actual composition. These arrangements are not the complete piece, but are arranged to INSPIRE the younger pianist to pursue their studies in order to achieve the realization of performing the "real piece!"
