In this winter, which isn't really a winter, the "bad" season by definition, the months when it should be cold, snowing, and raining. I can already imagine another sweltering summer and I don't like it at all. You'll see that the beautiful season will become the "bad" one? I miss the slow and silent descent of snow on the trees, where everything rounds off, and noises and sounds are muffled and the cold smells healthy; I miss the rain with its tinkling on the windows and tiles that, hearing it at night from bed, puts you at peace with the whole world.

Tall this made me want to play a piece by Erik Satie, "Gymnopédie," imagining myself at the piano while it rains outside.

I played it very "slow" and in such a way that I felt it was my own; there are some small errors and uncertainties in the performance and I apologize for them already, I hope you like it.

The tempo seems right to me, why is it slow? Despite not liking these Satie compositions very much (Gnossienne and Gymnopedie), I must say that it is an interpretation that I don't dislike at all. Compliments! Perhaps the audio is a little bit below par.

Thanks Simone. In effect, the sound level is a bit low; I was deceived by listening through headphones.

Always use a meter to regulate yourself and a little bit of compression. Not much, obviously, we are in the classical realm.
