Gymnopédie No. 3 (string quartet)

Title: Gymnopédie No. 3

Composer: Erik Satie, arr. David Gable

Instrumentation: Violin 1; Violin 2; Viola; Cello

Printout: 4 pages

Note: This Gymnopédie is a personal favorite. Wistful and soothing, it sounds like a summer evening. Satie’s Gymnopédies take their title from an ancient Greek dance, but their inspiration is more likely found in the impressionistic poetry and art of his contemporaries.
