I play Gymnopedie no 1 written by Erik Satie on this video. This time I decided to record more of a concept video for it, let me tell you why. I was recording this piece a few weeks ago and I experienced something truly special. I played the piece just fine, but I couldn't get it right. Something was off. No matter how calmly I tried to play, it was too much. Until I really let everything go, all the stress and all the perfectionism and I just simply played it.
