Erik Satie - Danses Gothiques





Today's Classical Corner... sad Satie.
This piece, especially.
Written as a kind of prayer to himself, to restore peace of mind after being left heartbroken by Suzanne Valadon, believed to be his only intimate relationship.
Whether truth or fiction, it certainly brought about immensely dense sounds, thankfully for all of us to take in and ponder.
