1937 - Eric Satie - Gymnopédie n°1 and n°2 Éric Satie (1866-1925), or Erik Satie, as he later spelled his name was an original composer who was important in the musicial avant-garde of Paris at the turn of the century. He composed three "Gymnopédie", as he called them, for piano in about 1888. Each is in a style unconventional for the period, using mildly dissonant chords. They are short, gentle, and atmospheric. To aid the recognition of this friend's music, Claude Debussy in 1897 orchestrated two of the Gymnopédie. These were the first and the third Gymnopédie, since Debussy considered the second not amenable to orchestration. Debussy also reversed the numbering of Satie's compostions, with the orchestration of Satie's first Gymnopédie entitled Third Gymnopédie by Debussy, and the reverse for Satie's third Gymnopédie.
