Nine Children's Pieces for Piano

From the Publisher

• this album brings together three groups of pieces, all written in 1913 by the eccentric French composer, Erik Satie.
• ingeniously devised to make full and basic use of the five fingers of each hand
• display the characteristic simplicity of Satie's music and, in the text sprinkled across the music, his quirky humour
