Satie's music is slow, spare and strange, which makes it some of the most rewarding to learn early: the Gymnopédies and Gnossiennes have few notes, and everything depends on how evenly and quietly you place them.
These are the most approachable of his pieces on the shelf, easiest first, from his little children's pieces to the three Gymnopédies.
