Erik Satie was a quirky individual, to say the very least. Part two of our three-episode series focuses on the least known of our three French composers. His music ranges from exquisite to inexplicable. Joey will deliver performances of some of the more beautiful examples of Satie's piano works. This episode might not be among our longest, but it's packed with good stuff!

The first of our trio of great French composers is Claude Debussy. He's linked to the idea of musical impressionism perhaps more than anyone in history, but he hated that label! As always, we'll discuss the composer's life and his music, which has only become more influential with time. Mixed in will be a few audio examples, including Dr. Choi's exquisite renditions of two of Debussy's piano solos.
