Trois Gymnopédies" and "Trois Gnossiennes" by Erik Satie.

I had thought of including Satie on my own list (I am a huge fan), but I had also thought, somehow, that he composed at least the Gymnopedies in the 20th Century. I am happy to sit corrected, if need be.

For all you Tchaikovsky and Grieg lovers, I recommend a splended jazz arrangement of their signature works: a jazz orchestra arrangement of the complete Nutcracker and a like arrangement of selections from the Peer Gynt - by Duke Ellington and Billy Strayhorn, which the Ellington band of 1959-61 recorded and is available on a disc called Three Suites (the third is an Ellington composition, "Suite Thursday"). The Ellington Nutcracker is numero uno on my holiday music parade.

You're right in that Satie does span 19th and 20th. But see http://www.af.lu.se/~fogwall/list.html
The Gymnopedies are written and released in 19th century. Others, such as Trois Sarabandes - were written in one century but published in the next.

Also, thanks for the info on the Tchaikovsky and Grieg adaptations by Ellington. I'll try to look for them. Grieg's Peer Gynt is beautiful.
