I've always liked the first of these pieces: Satie's Gymnopédie No 1.

The French film "Diva" (1981) includes a scene where, after a night out, two characters stroll in Paris at dawn, to a piano instrumental with echoes of Satie.

I'm loving these choices

I have to mention Diva. Week after week I noticed it on the bill of a cinema in Dublin. It actually ran for over a year.

40 years ago! I can't believe it! Cinema-going was very different then.

I mustn't detract from the theme of this thread though

I went with my best Francophile friend from school and we loved it! Fond memories...

.... She's sweet on Wagner
I think she'd die for Beethoven
She loves the way Puccini lays down a tune
And Verdi's always creeping from her room

It's OK, I've already got my coat on....

This is my favourite... There's also a beautiful version by Joan Baez.
