That's a rather pretentious statement. The foundations of music were built upon simplicity: three chords. I tire of those here who seem to think that technical ability is the same as having a creative vision. There is no such connection. A good carpenter can build a house. Whether or not he can create a work of art is a completely different matter.

The song is beautiful. I have not a care in the world how simplistic it may or may not be.

A lot of music is written for performers to perform physically demanding stunts. This music is usually horrible and should generally not have been composed in the first place. There is an entire branch of music appreciation devoted to the worship of these performers. To me, that whole thing is simply uninteresting and unworthy of further comment.

So far as “complexity” in music goes. It is not an important aspect. Some music has a lot of variation, and it is good. Other music has very little variation, and is just as good. I can name great works in both regards. It’s a boring topic.

This is a beautiful piece of music. Comparison with the greats is an unfair but inevitable fate for any contemporary composer. Can any classical music not be derivative?

at some point we should prol'y step back, take in the wider view of us all navel gazing with some of the critique. This ain't Debussy by a long shot. But as a mood maker, across the wider canvas that = RP, it adds.

Here in the US, before the 2012 London Olympic Games began, P&G (Proctor & Gamble) used portions of this tune in some TV ads.
The messages was something like "Thanks to the Mom's" and only flashed products pix up at the end before they put the company name up.

I completely agree. This is nice, but truly simplistic music.

Heard his music on some P&G commercials associated with the 2012 Summer Olympic games in London.

If some of the rest of you want to forget Einaudi that's your problem. I won't be. A true modern master.

The statement "In the same category as Satie and Debussy" requires no further comment. It may be a question of taste, but art has its hierarchies. Einaudi will be soon forgotten, as he deserves. If I copy Mozart, I don't become ipso facto Mozart.

It's a question of taste, and plainly Einaudi's not to yours, which is fair enough. He is in the same category as Satie and Debussy, and of course Philip Glass. Personalmente, penso che Einaudi sia i coglioni del cane (come dicono qua) :o)

This is balm to the ears after Tom Wait's rasping cheesegrater of a voice.

Hope he does make a sound track to a movie... wait.. I'd better Google him... I've given this a 7 because its a bit simplistic. I'd love more sweeping orchestral background and space. I do arpeggios like that all the time. The theme is nice. By the end of the song, I felt I was in an elevator or Homesense.
