Yes. When the RUclips video says 3;10 instead of 3;25 you know it's been played wrong, imo. When played faster it's "prettier" but loses some of the poignance that makes this one of the most beautiful pieces ever composed.
If you lasted 4 minutes (or more) people could get tired, and the song may sound heavy. I do think the average time one can do playing this is 3:40 - 4 mins.
Yup! I used to play them all on piano, and now I play the first Gnossienne on harp too. Beautiful pieces, I think I actually prefer them to the Gymnopedies.
Oh my goodness! Thank you so much from Vancouver Island, where I first heard Liona Boyd play her arrangement of this for guitar. How beautifully you play!
Thank you for this video! This is my favorite song and it sounds amazing on a harp. And you played it at the correct speed, which makes all the difference!
Actually my harp has 7 pedals! But they're for changing key, not for changing the timbre like on the piano. One pedal for each note, each pedal has 3 positions: sharp, natural and flat. Each time you change key, you have to use your feet. I started out as a pianist, and I found both instruments to be challenging in different ways.
for a person like me who has heard this many times, has played piano for 15 years and having played it myself & who has seen many versions of this song, I must say you are practically flawless. Thank you for your wounderful playing!
Beautiful arrangement I love this piece by Satie Gymnopedie 1. You are truly a pretty and talented lady. Keep performing and play beautiful music our world needs it through all the chaos. Thank you!
I actually have that stupid Top Shot commercial to thank. I tried to shazam it, but it wouldn't find a match. So after thinking all hope was lost, I did some serious googling, I tried every combination of words just to find this piece. That work finally paid off.
ahhhhh thank you so much for uploading this! i'm actually trying to learn this on the harp right now, and this is being a big help! and the way you played it was beautiful Cx
Beautiful sound on harp, I´ve always heard Satie either on piano or guitar. Now harp :) and I am also learning to play Gymnopedie No 1 on musical saw :D
Oh. I really did not know that.... but that is really cool! I took piano lessons when i was 7 but i always found it challenging because i could never play o things at once. Its the same for the harp.
I can't put in words the beauty of it... i was looking for the better version to show my friends this piece and found this... and all i can say is: amazing! =~~~
is there an apartment available for rent below yours☺?
My piano teacher says it should be played so slow it hurts....

+Carlos Mendoza last* sorry
Erick Satie had this particular reason why it should be played slow...it is the nature of the song...melancholic...enigmatic...
This is one of my favorite songs, and to hear it played on the harp brings tears to my eyes. Absolutely beautiful.
Yup! I used to play them all on piano, and now I play the first Gnossienne on harp too. Beautiful pieces, I think I actually prefer them to the Gymnopedies.
I cried. Too beautiful

Oh my goodness! Thank you so much from Vancouver Island, where I first heard Liona Boyd play her arrangement of this for guitar. How beautifully you play!

Just amazing. What is great about this song is that can be played by any instrument and it will sound amazing.

My favourite piece of all time. I've never heard it played on a harp, and you do this so beautifully!
