Tag: Le Piccadilly

Erik Satie: Le Piccadilly

I thought I would share today this lovely tune Le Piccadilly by one of my favourite French composers, Erik Satie (1866–1925) (Gnossienne No.1, Je te veux). It is a ragtime march written by Satie before his fame and at the height of the ragtime popularity. Happy Friday!
