Pianist Aldo Ciccolini was born in Naples, Italy, but he had a French soul. A passionate champion of French composers, he recorded more than 50 albums, mostly of French repertoire, and along the way championed many underrepresented French composers, especially Erik Satie. Ciccolini died overnight Saturday at age 89, shortly after returning home to Asnières-sur-Seine in the Parisian suburbs from several weeks in the hospital for undisclosed treatments.

No relation to Chico Marx's character in Duck Soup, right?

Thanks for the link. I love Satie. Influenced the Beatles and a host of others. His three gymnopedies are best heard orchestrated in my opinion.

I hear you, but there is a stark beauty in the plaintive solo piano as well.

“Sure we shadowed him:
“Tuesday we sit outside his house all day, but he no home.
“Wednesday we went to the ball game, he fool us and no show up.
“Thursday he go to the ball game, but we fool him and we no show up.
“Friday it was a double header, nobody show up, so we stay home and listened to it on the radio.”
