What is the name of this piano piece? Help!
on: November 20, 2010, 03:47:28 AM
Hello can someone please tell me whats the name of this piano piece



It starts at 00:48; I heard it the first time at a show in the theater, and I have been enthralled by it ever since. 

Thank you.

I am sure it's a piece by Satie but I don't know which one.

As Richard replied it is Erik Satie's Gnossienne #3. If you like this piece you may very well enjoy other works by Satie. He wrote quite a bit of piano music, much of it rather dreamy, quirky, and fairly well unique in style from others in 1890's Paris.
