Seven Gnossiennes by Erik Satie for piano

Collection Archives Erik Satie

Just as the "Trois morceaux en forme de poire" in fact comprise seven pieces, so Erik Satie's Trois Gnossiennes come from a group of seven compositions. Inspired by a visit to the pavilion of exotic music at the 1889 Universal Exhibition, the "Gnossian mode" charmed the composer to such an extent that he returned to it seven times in eight years, despite the fact that his music was otherwise caracterized by perpetual renewal.
Following the "Six Gnossiennes" already released, the 7th Gnossienne is published in this album for the first time.
