HBM Artist Pascal Rogé plays Satie live from Steinway Hall in New York City.

The eminent French pianist and Steinway Artist Pascal Rogé performs  Erik Satie’s timeless work of tranquility, “Gymnopédie No. 1,” at New York City’s Steinway Hall. Satie’s most celebrated gem, which is the soundtrack to all your favorite indie films, is deceptively simple in that the melody — unbeknownst to the listener — begins on the second beat (in 3/4 time). Rogé’s gentle use of rubato adds to the aura of uncertainty.
