About this piece
The second of three Gymnopédies, written in 1888: a slow waltz-like piece where a quiet melody floats over a repeating bass-and-chord pattern.
Why it is free to use
Erik Satie died in 1925, more than 70 years ago. The notes come from the Mutopia Project's typesetting, taken from the source “Dover Edition” (Mutopia piece 38, licence: Public Domain); we converted them to MusicXML and checked them against Mutopia's MIDI file, note for note.
About this score
This is the complete piece, not an excerpt. The notes were converted from the Mutopia Project's public-domain typesetting of Gymnopédie No. 2 (piece 38, typeset from the source “Dover Edition”; licence: Public Domain) and checked against Mutopia's MIDI file, note for note (repeats included). The score is the same music in a different file format; we dedicate our conversion to the public domain (CC0 1.0). Mutopia Project page
