Classical Music/piece recognition

Question
I went to this website: http://www.cowdisley.com/ and can't figure out what piece is playing. It sounds like Satie, but I have no idea how to go about finding out. Would you let me know if you can figure out what it is? Thanks!

Answer
Hi Andrea,

This is certainly a pretty piece, and I love guitar! It does resemble Satie a bit, but I think that what we have here is a piece that is in the style, but not by the composer. I don't recognize it as being from the standard repertory, but I'm not a guitarist, either. At any rate, you found a very nice piece, and I really appreciate your sharing it with me.

Please let me know if I can serve you again.

Best regards,

Donald
