I have played Gymnopedie on the piano- it is a very slow and thoughtful song. I recommend you get the notes right before memorizing this piece. You probably know a song, like Prelude in C by Bach. Well, that song has a pattern. This song, unfortunately, the pattern is not crystal clear, and is hard to memorize. NOT impossible, but a little tricky. If you put your time and effort, I think you can play this piece. Otherwise, if you have a teacher, they help a lot to fix mistakes you don't realize you make.

Gymnopedie No.1 , by Erik Satie.
To play Gymnopedie No. 1 on the piano, start by placing your right hand on the keys in a relaxed position. The piece is in 3/4 time signature, so count in sets of three beats. Begin by playing the simple melody in the right hand, focusing on the gentle and flowing rhythm. Use the sustain pedal to create a smooth and connected sound. The left hand will play simple accompanying chords to support the melody. Practice slowly and gradually increase the tempo as you become more comfortable with the piece.
i think its "erik alfred leslie satie- gymnopedie no 1".
I'm assuming you mean the film "Man on Wire," which uses the Erik Satie piece "Gymnopedie No. 1"
Gymnopedie No. 1 is composed in the key of D major.

The version by Frank Glazer from "Satie: The Essential Piano Works" and the version by Pascal Rogé from "Satie: Piano Music" are both excellent. At amazon at http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001QA8W8K/ and http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000V6MTI4/ respectively.
