Erik Satie's Gymnopedie No. 1 and Monet


"I don't think I've ever heard this piece before in my life, but listening to it for the first time now, it feels like it's an old friend. I wonder if 
my tears are from the music or from my own reflection."

This comment at Youtube expresses the feeling of many people when listen to this music for the first time.
I hope this is the soundtrack for August: quietness and peacefully.
At the left Monet's 1905 Water Lilles.
The video was done by Radchenko who did a sensible and beautiful work adding images to this great music.
It was one of the reasons why I decided to post the video and also because this is a must-listen music.
