Eric Satie's Gnossienne No.1 is one of tyhe most recognizable classical tracks for the piano (romatic era). This version was recorded in 2022 by pianist Yann Keerim. The track can be licensed for use in films and multimedia productions. Cinematic / melancholic / sad mood.

The second Gnossienne has the instruction, 'avec étonnement', (with astonishment), to instruct the player to play slightly faster than the other two pieces. Still has lots of space and freedom of expression.

Slow, ('Lent' in French), and free-flowing, this track evokes an almost daydream like state. This is the first of three works to be given the name Gnossienne name by Erik Satie to reflect this new style of composition.

The third in a series of highly expressive and free-flowing compositions by Satie is again at a slow pace like the first one. This gives the track a sombre and hypnotic quality. Creates an almost haunting atmosphere.
