01 Canon in D Building D · Drop D Johann Pachelbel · Germany. Baroque canon, mostly quiet for centuries, later turned into one of the most recognizable wedding/processional pieces. → 02 Blu Danube Sketching TBD · Standard Johann Strauss II · Austria. A Viennese waltz from 1867; basically Austria’s unofficial anthem, graceful and impossible not to sway with. → 03 Thus Spoke Zarathustra New C · Standard Richard Strauss · Germany. Tone poem from 1896, inspired by Nietzsche; the “sunrise” opening became iconic through 2001: A Space Odyssey. → 04 Gymnopédie No. 1 New D · Standard Erik Satie · France. Piano miniature from 1888, marked “slow and painful”; its sparse, floating harmony feels like an ancestor of ambient music. →
