I heard this on the radio this morning - I think I've got it more or less correct. Its a piano piece played at 60-80 crochets per minute, with a subdued string accompanyment. What is it? I think it may be Sartie but I'm not at all sure. Here is how it opens... 3 E G F | E B C | A B C | G 4 all evenly played crochets except the last which is a dotted minim.

As you suspect, it is from Erik Satie's Three Gymnopydies (sp?) Well, mostly, since it actually starts on the second beat. -Dave hsu @ cvl
