Since everyone's talking about how fast they have managed to learn it: here's my take. Although yes, the notes themself don't take too long to learn due to the repetetiveness and overall speed, but it's the emotion and volume that makes it actually nice to listen to. I recommend anyone to print out sheet music for this piece, as it's just a lot easier (even if you learned it with the tutorial) to play. This piece HAS to be played sensitively and carefully. The #A, C and F have got to be played very quietly and dimmed, as the melody has to be the most prominent part. This may take weeks to master the volume, let alone the rhythm. I ignored this for a while, but damn, if you actually start to look into it you can make it 10x more beautiful and not just piano playing, but BEAUTIFUL piano playing like you hear on RUclips. To me, it's totally worth it to invest some time to master volume independence as I call it. Because if the volume for all 3 parts (the F, #ACF and the melody) is the same, it just doesn't sound as good and emotional. Thank you for reading.
Oh and try to find the right speed according to you. On sheet music, it is supposed to be played "Lent", thus slowly. This video is faster than that, but everyone really has their own interpretation of it as Erik Satie didn't really be clear on how his pieces should be played, so it's for you to figure out whatever you like the most! I'd recommend anyone to listen to the interpretation of Reinbert de Leeuw, which playes it slowly and melancholicly and the "Once upon a time in Paris" when it's played rather fast, see which one you like more.
Thank you so much for taking the time to write this comment, I’m very grateful for your advices and I believe this will help me to significantly improve my playing. This was truly helpful and taught me interesting and valuable information. I’m a total beginner and self taught so this is new to me and I’m looking forward in perfecting my playing and make it less robotic. Thank you.

i don't remember how long it took to learn this piece, it was probably a lot more than it took to anyone else since i have no idea how to play the piano but now i love playing it
@@kamaltrivedi2818 you can try to arrange the piece in a different key. All you have to do is make sure the notes are the same semi tones apart like the original.
Lol ikr like I play chess in my free time and then just overnight it apparently became cool and I didn’t even know about the queens gambit until my friend told me 😆
Is there a particular reason why ppl are talking about how much time they spent to manage the piece instead of talking about other aspect of piece or it's only cause people's emptiness and frustration ? bah
The trick is to practice both hands separate, and this piece is great for that since both hands alone are quite easy. Play it incredibly slow when you put hands together, and pick up the pace at your own leisure, this piece doesnt have rules so you can keep it slow if you like! If you are struggling with those long Fs while playing chords with your left hand, make F short (staccato) and practice jumping between the F and the chord, you can also use the pedals on the F to make it longer without having to hold it down. Sorry got into a bit of a frenzy there, I just love this piece.
@@aperson6415 nomms wn cómo que no puedes? >:U esa pieza la hubiera podido tocar mi yo de hace 3 años cuando apenas empezaba a tocar, lo que hay que hacer es practicar, si ya puedes tocar otro instrumento pues puedes tocar piano!
The original piece was written without time signature or bar divisions, pretty much meant to be interpreted differently by each player, so there's really no such thing as too fast or too slow with this piece.

Thanks
I learned this piece perfectly in a couple of days thanks to you, wonderful !
Man satie was killin' it with the simplistic style
Very nice piece, it took me 4 seconds to learn it. Thanks for the upload
Lol
*hours
I didn’t know it was easy playing Satie, it took me only 10 minutes, great piece if you want a relaxation environment.
i don't remember how long it took to learn this piece, it was probably a lot more than it took to anyone else since i have no idea how to play the piano but now i love playing it
I have the feeling o will do that
Fastest I’ve ever learned a piece, thanks
Managed to learn in like 4 hours-- it was nonstop grinding, I have too much free time rip
Free time spent playing the piano is at least not wasted time
I don't have the Bb key since I have a 61 keys piano, what can I substitute?

@@CrimsonKnightmare1 I'm playing the same Bb key but an octave higher and it really doesn't sound much different tbh
@@CrimsonKnightmare1 wow arranging a whole piece to a different key is kinda difficult tho
I learned this in 6 years. Took a while but I'm finally here
Great tutorial. I learned it by just looking at the thumbnail. Very easy
Lol
Beautifully simple song, learned it in a couple of minutes thanks to this tutorial! Thank you
MINUTES?!!?! HOW
@@simianto9957 took me 20

This shit is great, learned it just in time for my piano final
Sah quel plasir, un bon banger comme je les aimes, Gambi n'a qu'à bien se tenir !

You have to listen to this music as part of the soundtrack of the film "le feu follet" by Louis Malle. That is a masterpiece.
Who come from The queen gambit?
yup, had to perform some detective work to find out the name of the song first, but that lead me here

Any tips for people with small hands ? I struggle playing the chords bc my hands are small :/
Beth's step mother♟
any tips on how to learn the blue part? i have trouble on concentrating on both
Try training the two hands separately, and when you're confident on both you can put it all together
When I was born instead of crying I played this song...that's how fast I learned jajaja
amazing!!!!!💖
Is this easy to learn if you never have played piano before?
Where I am up to:
0:48
0:52
3:42 for right hand 0:00 for both hands
Thank you

Too fast

ever heard of playback speed? 😂😂
No it’s not.
Its just right.

And if he mean the guy is playing the piece to fast well just play it slow
