- Erik Satie Gnossienne 1 performed by the Steinway Artist Alessio Nanni, piano, Italy.
Erik Satie is one of the most genius in the music history.
Satie's coining of the word "gnossienne" was one of the rare occasions when a composer used a new term to indicate a new "type" of composition. Satie had and would use many novel names for his compositions ("vexations", "croquis et agaceries" and so on). "Ogive," for example, had been the name of an architectural element until Satie used it as the name for a composition, the Ogives. "Gnossienne," however, was a word that did not exist before Satie used it as a title for a composition. The word appears to be derived from "gnosis"; Satie was involved in gnostic sects and movements at the time that he began to compose the Gnossiennes.[citation needed] However, some published versions claim[citation needed] that the word derives from Cretan "knossos" or "gnossus" and link the Gnossiennes no 1 to Theseus, Ariadne and the Minotaur myth.

The reason why satie is such a great composer is that his pieces are so simple but so touching at the same time
Exactly . He achives complexity by simply being simple . Such a haunting piece.. it touches my soul.
And that is the most difficult thing to do.
Hiw pieces are easy to play but probably not as easy to write
His*
I absolutely agree with you
THAT is the way Gnossienne 1 is supposed to be played! No rushing it, no trying to jazz it up. A meditation. Thank You, Alessio, for letting Mr. Satie's work speak for itself. Bellisima!
You are absolutely right, it is a meditation. Music is all about 'feel', weather it is complicated or simple, it's how it speaks that matters.
Exactly 💯
theres no right way to play it he said himself that you were meant to express yourself througb your performance pf ot
On the contrary, this version has a rushed tempo.
@@tenshiros yeah exactly
Few people know the meaning of Gnossienne. This is the explanation I give when I teach them this song (my explanation). Gnose in French (from Greek gnosis) means knowledge ("connaissance", feminine noun) and "sienne", feminine adjective for "sien" means oneself. Gnossienne is the knowledge every one makes out for oneself.
So it's an introspection on how you express yourself musically (but it works for language too) and how you should choose to express yourself. All the Satie's annotations on the score show this. They are really important and often not respected because few people understand them. "Très luisant" means "Show off" (what you probably do at the beginning when you play). "Questionnez": Question yourself about what you're doing. "Du bout de la pensée" refers to an achieved form of thinking. It's your thought just before speaking or playing and it's your natural thought coming from yourself. "Postulez en vous-même" : Think in yourself among several possibilities and postulate, make a decision. And finally "Sur la langue": on the tip of your tongue, what you are going to play, after a thorough thinking, but without being completely sure, because nobody can be sure of one's knowledge.
Thank you Mr. Satie for this music and philosophy lesson !
Merci ❤️
@antoinetoma1167 Thanks for your interesting explanation.
… and thank you for explanations :)
Wonderful explanation, thanks
I believe this to be one of the most beautiful pieces of music ever written.
'Gnossienne' a musical term first coined by Satie, to capture a deep sorrow. For instance, that moment when you realise that someone you’ve known for years and whom you love, has a private and mysterious inner part of them that will ever remain unknowable.
Beautiful way to describe his world.
kinda sounds like eyes wide shut
Yes , it does fit with a sense like that . Beautiful yet tragic as well . Haunting .
You have no way of knowing if that’s true or not.
Brian Hyde- You have no way of knowing if what you said is true or not. Gnosis is related to Ancient Greek mystery religions. He was a total nut so who knows what he meant by the name. Just enjoy the simple brilliance of his work!
Many people find this piece boring, saying it's very repetitive. But that's the beauty of this song. They fail to spot the little variations that are made each time.
Your music brings me to rest & takes me places at the same time.
+Surabhi Choudhary thank you for your appreciation. I honestly think that simple things are the most difficult to face because we need to think more about every little single detail. In music. In life.
Surabhi Choudhary Io lo adoro.Lo trovo magico,quasi sospeso nel tempo.
Many people around you, sadly. But there it goes. I heard it thanks to tv, back in the 80-s. And then learned to play it badly (kudos to pianist!) It is a lament to Satie's mother, unless i am mistaken...
subtlety escapes some people
The essence of this piece is the latent power inherited in its modal foundations. The absolutely majestic change from the third grade of the tonic chord to the tonic of the IV grade demonstrates that. A powerful and subtle movement that I think is his best movement.
I can’t believe I listen to this type of music today, from rap, metal to this…
This is beautiful
Exactly what I have, I like to listen to rap, but this shit amazing too yk
you sir have an ear for music, i too listen to a lot of Rap and love classical music. I truly love and try to understand most genres, the hardest ones to figure are cheap pop music
C'est sûrement parce que vous avez le goût des belles choses et une sensibilité pour ce qui touche l'esprit.
I actually found this through the rap song “Topboy” by Italian rapper Lazza , it’s great!

Thanks for your comment. I totally agree with you.
Alessio Nanni i just started playing this on piano and my teacher said u should listen this and now i am listening
HOW CAN THIS BE SO MAGICAL!?!😍😍😍
Me Miss Marie fetocumusun
Lol bitch if it was simple everyone would could make a master piece there are few who can convey such emotion trough sound
Thats so true, but a real artist know the power if simplicity.
Look at some of the worlds most famous songs, alot of them are VERY simple but God damn what a power there is in the song.
And this, from the first time I heard it, I was hooked, its like a sad story being told through the notes of the piano.
Erik Satie
On most mornings after he moved to Arcueil, Satie would return to Paris on foot, a distance of about ten kilometres, stopping frequently at his favourite cafés on route. Accoring to Templier, "he walked slowly, taking small steps, his umbrella held tight under his arm. When talking he would stop, bend one knee a little, adjust his pince-nez and place his fist on his lap. The he would take off once more with small deliberate steps."
When he eventually reached Paris he visited friends, or arranged to meet them in other cafés by sending pneumatiques. Often the walking from place to place continued, focussing on Montmarte before the war, and subsequently on Montparnasse. From here, Satie would catch the last train back to Arcueil at about 1.00am, or, if he was still engaged in serious drinking, he would miss the train and begin the long walk home during the early hours of the morning. Then the daily round would begin again.
Roger Shattuck, in conversations with John Cage in 1982, put forward the interesting theory that "the source of Satie's sense of musical beat--the possibility of variation within repetition, the effect of boredom on the organism--may be this endless walking back and forth across the same landscape day after day . . . the total observation of a very limited and narrow environment." During his walks, Satie was also observed stopping to jot down ideas by the light of the street lamps he passed.

+Mary McSweeney thank you so much for this note. Amazing
Of course. Pass the stories, pass the knowledge, pass the love.
Mary Catherine thank u so much ....x
Thank you
I'm not going to forget this. Thank you
I've decided that I must learn to play this piece, but I'm not even a pianist. It's almost like one of my great missions in life is to do so.
Wow
break a leg! or rather a finger :P
It's not too hard, it was my very first piano tune as well. It's awesome
me with clair de lune, its been my favorite music piece since i was a baby
Have finally buckled myself in and have made progress; reaching a certain amount of proficiency on the 1st phrase and now beginning with the 2nd. Thank you Alessio.
THIS is the way this piece was meant to be played. Exquisite in every detail.
Yes, Alessio plays all the right notes, but Nanni's ego made him play this Gnossienne way too fast and way too loud. Please, listen to this interpretation ua-cam.com/video/5bIeYqpn0Gk/v-deo.html and let me know if you still think Nanni's way is the way this piece was meant to be played.
@@PaulLamens Well it really depends on how you view the piece, I personally enjoy the chaotic but calculated feeling I get from this version, it feels unpredictable but it is. The way Reinbert de Leeuw does it is also amazing, he delivers it as its a cold and slow disease that eats you but right before you're completely swallowed by the feeling you wake up, especially with Gnossienne .2. With Gnossienne .1 I feel its a bit too easy and not that crazy pace this one has.
@@PaulLamens It feels a lot more menacing in the way this one does it, which I like, the one from De Leeuw is a lot less chaotic and more uneasy which I also love.
Paul Lamens I strongly prefer this version. The tempo in the other version feels stretched and doesn’t evoke the same emotion for me.
This song is so aggressive and painful yet so soft and relaxing, it’s so fast and interesting yet so dark and slow
it's not a song
@@Philrc really einstein?

How to feel all the emotions at once.

@@Michkaan because it is
Based on this, not exactly it
The first time I played this I had tears in my eyes. I got an image of an old man, dressed in bearskins, placing flowers on a grave in a frozen, snow-swept landscape. Weird, I'll grant you, but very moving.
Cornball
Very interesting, I stopped my work when I first heard this. It was incredibly moving for me and a similar sad vision played out in my mind. You must be a very sensitive person too.
Same type of feeling... despair...hopelessness...overwhelming sadness
Who's grave Chris?
No music can be as melodious as this one..
Love to hear it again and again.
This piece is one of the reasosns I am learning the piano right now :)
+FinaleCadence It's the only piece I know.
I guess I have to learn playing it, it's so frustrating being musically "handicapped". I love music and I only wish I could have been at least half as good as a decent pianist, just to be able to learn to play such wonderful masterpieces.
What do you mean, musically handicapped? What happened?
Hey me too! This and Bach's Partita no. 6. I owe my life to these two pieces.
lean gymnopedie 1 too :)
Hayatın dramatikliğini inişini çıkışını tuşa birden vuruşlarıyla ve peşinden sakinleşmesiyle o dinginlikle harmanlaması kadar keyif veren birşey yok. Ginosienne 1 hayatın her anını en iyi yansıtan parçadır. Bu hissi yaşayanlar anlaanlar birdaha bu parçadan vazgeçemez.
Я могу слушать это бесконечно.🙂
Same here
И я
Listening to Satie's work is often like stepping into a strange, parallel world where laws are not quite the same as ours, a world of the unexpectable, like Alice in Wonderland.
I consider Satie's work -- at least until 1914 -- as being the strict, exact musical equivalent of the contemporary Art nouveau/Modern Style in architecture, design and graphic arts: an art of the dreamlike, of a -- at least seemingly -- freeing from logic and rationality, of quiet and elegant madness. If you want to "see" this music, look, for instance, at Hector Guimard's Castel Béranger, in Paris' 16th arrondissement, or his famous Paris Métro entrances (among so many other things).
True 👍
I think as a pianist Satie was the most underrated. His style of composing music was very unique.
People can't understand the sheer beauty of his work through simplicity. Making something beautiful while keeping it simple is actually complex.
He reminds me of Debussy. Great composers for piano (at least) with simple themes but very... lively and almost visible while only being sound
It's as if mysterious beauty and the foreshadowing of regret had it's own theme
'The foreshadowing of regret . . . "--what a beautiful phrase!
Davis Reardon i just learned a new meaning of the word gnossienne: a moment of awareness that someone you’ve known for years still has a private and mysterious inner life, and somewhere in the hallways of their personality is a door locked from the inside, a stairway leading to a wing of the house that you’ve never fully explored-an unfinished attic that will remain maddeningly unknowable to you, because ultimately neither of you has a map, or a master key, or any way of knowing exactly where you stand. Just thought you might find it as interesting as I did.
temptation and trepidation
That's a dark and beautiful way of putting it. I imagine myself curiously lost among shadows in a labyrinth of medieval-like streets in the night. Lantern lit cobblestone twists and turns hurry my pace. I'm lost and I love it.
maria darch Satie really had a way of doing that with his music, didn't he?
Now THAT is the hand movements of a pianist! I love how you eloquently let your hands move with the music!
J'ai cherché ce morceau 15 ans, et je viens de le retrouver en regardant une série américaine. Je l'avais entendu une fois seulement, en 4ème à ce cours de Français de fin d'année. Nous n'étions que deux en salle, parce que les élèves ne viennent plus après le troisième trimestre et ma prof eût l'idée de jouer cet album. Les notes n'ont jamais quitté mon esprit depuis, pourtant 15 ans ont passé et bien des choses ont changé dans ma vie. La vraie musique, on la garde toujours quelque part en soi.
Profundo, triste, melancólico, hermoso...
Thank you so much, for this slow and meditative version, Mr Alessio Nanni..... my brother, Christian Bernard, played it this way, when i was a child, and i never forgot it (while living in India since 45 years) , the way those little 2 notes, slightly delayed, would sound like little gems... and the beauty when he would catch up later on the rythm flow. Magic.
(he was a 'prix Vercelli' at age 16... he died 3 y ago, in France).
Beautiful visually, too.

Thank you, you are very kind. What you say is completely true. (i am myself a musician in India, i study the Vichitra Veena since 20 years). All best wishes and love from India.
I just wanted to add that I wholeheartedly agree. I was searching for the perfect playthrough of this piece and yours, Mr. Nanni, is by far the best. The rest felt so like they were rushing. But this is not a piece to be rushed, and I feel that you captured and felt that in your playing. Truly magnificent.
Please UA-cam The Painted Veil . Listen to the same piece by Lang Lang , stylish and explains why he is a great master .

Yes. This piece demands to be played this way. There are so many stiff versions that were as if a robot were playing. It's maddening. This rendition though, is one of the best I've heard.
I adore this, I want it played at my funeral.that will make sure people cry.

Cuando escucho esta canción mi mente se transporta a otro mundo, donde lo superficial y la vanidad no existen, me quedo inmersa en las notas, en el profundo significado que estas transmiten, en este mundo en el que me encuentro existe el amor más allá de la apariencia, los sentimientos puros, amores que duran para siempre, la muerte se convierte en un acto insignificante para el amor eterno. Quede viuda hace un año y escuchar esta pieza es lo que me transporta con mi amor eterno, a otra dimensión, estamos ahí, los dos juntos, nada nos separa, todo es posible…
Cómo si una suave brisa acariciara mi ser y pudiera casi acariciarlo de vuelta, mi alma se regocija…
La melancolía y la tristeza llenan mi cuerpo y al mismo tiempo, mi alma se engrandece, ya que me siento menos ajena en este mundo a veces tan cruel. Por que aunque esté rodeada de personas, al mismo tiempo me siento sola…
Mis felicitaciones al maestro, excelente pieza!!!
Какой прекрасный комментарий, он меня тронул до глубины души. 🌹
Я плакала от невозможности такой светлой мечты как ваша.
😢😢😢😢❤❤❤❤
This is the best rendition of this piece I've listened to! The slight off-tempo and the dynamic choices are so expressive, it gives a totally different aura to the piece!! This is an excellent example of how hard it can be to be expressive with such simple compositions!! Of course, even though this is a simple piece technically, it's by no means easy in terms of expression. My compliments!!
The forte bass note are so freaking powerfull, big goosebump cause this was so well played
My friend told me that this sounds like vampires dancing in a ballroom, in the late 19th century.
Ever watch the originals? This piece is in the show and the Show is about vampires

Truly an excellent interpretation of this piece and I’ve listened to many versions over 37 years. V nice 👍
Uniquely simple and still a highly dramatic song which touches somewhere much deeper within ...magnificent in both the structure and context and without a doubt an existing example of a masterpiece....

Magnifique et bouleversant par sa sobriété, cette musique provoque une émotion rare.
i just love the fact that i always ran into the song which i know from somewhere i dont remember, haunted me for a while without knowing its name, and than find it somewhere totally different, just by luck, i heard this on the radio (not the first time ofcourse) i thought "oh how i love this melody" but i couldnt catch the name, after a week i was listening to patrick watson, who is a great musician by the way, and at the end of like the fifth video i watched, he hummed this melody, and baaam i'm here:D and eventhough no one really care about this anectode of mine i still write it here:D cause i'm happy hahaha:D
and now i catched the song's name from the channel i first listen to this melody, it was actually its song version with lyrics, which is called "la flor de estambul" which means "the flower of İstanbul" and meaning of my name is "flower" and i am from İstanbul. now what the fuck is this. ahahah :D. weird coincidence is weird. :D and i commented on my comment. yesssss.
i first heard
this in a csi miami episode. it was at the end
I know it from The Painted Veil. It’s one of my favourite musical pieces!
it s always a bless when you fall into knowledge
when a music haunted you sometime for years
and finally we found the composer....
this piece haunted me too
I heard it once more in a documentary
and the end credits gived me the name I was looking for

So I say thank you for the music, for giving it to me ♡ Hope to hear you live.

I like that quote
Best performance of the piece I've heard!
I've appreciated classical music all my life but didn't come upon Satie until quite recently -- not sure how that happened..
I've listened to many versions of this piece and I've come to two conclusions: 1. Alessio Nanni's version is as fine as I've ever heard, and 2. Although this piece is an almost trivially easy piece from an athletic standpoint it is crushingly difficult to nail the timing and no two people agree on what the timing should be.
Alessio handles this about as good as it gets. I've probably listened to Alessio's version 20+ times.
This piece is powerful in it's simplicity, and Alessio is able to convey this with nuance.
Brian.
Totally agree. The timing is so essential to the heart of the piece and yet everyone plays it slightly differently.
It's very good off course, but I prefer the version off Daniel Varsano ua-cam.com/video/b7I1a0cLqQ4/v-deo.html, Did you listen to it?
any classical music you’d recommend similar to this melancholic masterpiece?
@@Blayzeecampos22 The Gnossiennes are considered the end of a series of works starting with the Ogives. I would suggest listening to them.
One of the most beautiful pieces of music I've ever heard
I love this piece and I like the style it is played. Lovely and simple. Just wish I could go in there and tune the middle F.
It hurts me every time I hear it.
@Your CarAngel
But is the middle F on the Steinway really out of tune?
I bet it's not.
It might just be the odd key the Gnossiennes are played in?
Because they're supposed to sound off-kilter a little bit.
That's really the quirky charm of Satie's Gnossiennes.
I don't believe the middle F is actually out of tune here at all, correct me if I'm wrong Alessio Nanni?
That sound is what makes Satie's Gnossiennes so unique, and so quirkily different from the Gymnopedie, which is in an alternate key, and is a much sadder, more heartbreaking piece, for me.
Gymnopedie just brings the tears really hard for me.
The Gnossiennes are charming yet quirky tunes, that sound off-key, because there are alternate keys being played side by side.
So they sound like they clash, when they actually compliment each other quite nicely, quirky as they sound played in counterpoint to one another.
Erik Satie's not the only composer who has worked with counterpoint tunings within the same song.
I was watching the Pacific Symphony Orchestra many years ago, and I remember one song they played, I think by Antonin Dvoràk, but it's been a minute so I might be mis-remembering, where the conductor, Carl St. Clair, actually walked off the conductor's podium, directly into the middle of the orchestra, because it sounded like there were two completely different songs being played, at the same time, both in different keys.
But really it was one brilliant song.
But because the counterpoint melody was so strong, Carl told me later when I met him and asked him about that, he just realized that he had to actually physically walk into the middle of his orchestra, to conduct *THAT* half of the orchestra that was playing the counterpoint melody.
He got the symphony up front playing the one melody, and then just walked straight down the middle of them to conduct the counterpoint melody almost as a separate set piece, as though they were a separate orchestra.
Mind-boggling.
All so it *SOUNDED* like there were two songs, in two different keys, being played by two orchestras, but really all playing together in counterpoint melodies.
Really it was all the same brilliant song.
Cannot recall if it was Dvorak or a different composer, but it was just all so very engaging.
Just seeing Carl do that, like conducting a second orchestra on a second song.
Fascinating.
And yet beautiful.
When you got past the strange sensation of feeling like two songs were playing simultaneously, yet in entirely different keys?
It was pretty spectacular.
Maybe it was Edvard Grieg..
Too many years ago now.
Sorry about that.
But just so cool to see the orchestra and the conductor so beautifully sympatico with each other like that was just awe-inspiring.
It really was.
And that's kind of what Erik Satie's Gnossiennes reminds me of.
(But, I reserve the right to be wrong, if it turns out that middle F on the Steinway *IS* out of tune.)

@@toddvandell85 Yeah I think he was just playing around anyway haha. Don't apologise for getting lost you explained that very well. I think you're correct too Todd.
There is something magical here, unexplained. When you stop breathing .
Satie is different than other classical componists, he has short phrases, and his 'beat' is kinda like a waltz, i really love the harmony between left hand and right hand, hits me right in the feels, beautiful piece, i'm playing it over and over and over.
This song is simply a masterpiece, is marvelous. The interpretation is unbelivable. Many people can't understand and appreciate this song and it's a pity because they miss a whole world.
I agree with you wholeheartedly, but wanted to let you know a "song" is a piece of music that you sing. This would be referred to as a composition or piece of music, though many just say piece or music, as in "this music is simply a masterpiece".
Cheers!
This probably one of my favorite pieces of music! On a cold grey day, all alone sitting by a window just watching the world as it moves! I Love when September comes around because I know fall is not far from bringing winter with it!
Wow, mesmerisingly beautiful in its haunting simplicity. I was utterly captivated by your performance. Thank you for sharing this with the world....
It feels cold and sad... but in a good way. It makes my chest feel heavy, like I just lost the love of my life, like a funeral --yet I can't stop listening to it. It makes me remember that it's ok to feel. It's bittersweet. I love it. I want this played at my funeral
My God. What a great start to my day. Simply beautiful. Thank you.
one of the best ive heard. absolutely beautiful, i love when this piece isnt rushed through. everything about this is perfect, thank you so much
Esto lo leí una vez en internet hace un tiempo… infinitamente enamorada de esta composición 💜 “Lento y suave, lento y triste, lento y doloroso. Tres piezas, tres títulos.
Las Gimnopedias enamoran. Propician romances verdaderos.”
wow how have i never heard this before? It's unbelievably beautiful.
Anyone can play the piano really, but it takes SOUL to play like you did. The emotion behind every note, the movement of your fingers was graphic poetry to me. You’re my inspiration to keep learning. Amazing ❗️
I am not crying. just smoke filled my eyes :/
Amazing how a song can be equally so romantic and melancholy
I’d love to roll into a hotel or somewhere with a big ol piano, and just start playing this really slow
The best version I ever head ! Superbe interprétation ! Bravo Alessio et merci.
I totally agree this one is so much darker but yet so peaceful ...
yeah agree - toooatly nailed it - whispy and abnoxious
also as easy to listen to as watch

INCANTEVOLE!!!!!!
Amo immensamente questa composizione di Satie, il suo “stil novo”, nella semplicità dell’armonia!
E adoro la tecnica, l’esaltazione, la “forma”, lo stile, l'eleganza nell’espressione della musica che Alessio Nanni riesce a imprimere, nella sua maestria, a questa melodia, con cui scandisce la sua interpretazione.
La FORZA con cui glorifica questa esaltazione, è la celebrazione che consacra la musica, nel momento in cui la suona!
I love music which varies so slowly that it allows you to get lost in it completely.
Those wonderful hands playing this wonderful masterpiece. . . .I just can't stop looking and listening to you. Thank you very much, Mr Nanni! Just great!
Increíble interpretación. Tempo, pasión, delicadeza, sutileza y claridad de notas. De las mejores interpretaciones de Satie que he escuchado. Bravo Alessio.
I love that you can hear what sounds like fingers rolling across the keys
One of my favorite composers and one of my favorite pieces. This recording however is rare in its accurate recording depth of the lower frequencies of the piano. It's a joy to listen to, especially with good headphones.
Cette version est tellement bien jouée... Mon dieu c'est absolument magnifique, je ne me lasserai jamais de l'écouter ❤️
The way you pinch those two "gems" and then release, as well as the Steinway's pure subtle, responsive and immediate touch... These pianos are diamonds...
You're right about the Steinways.
This is the song that will be played when the world ends and it's the end credits
I always thought that would be Chopin's Marche Funèbre, but this works, especially if we're short on time...
At the Earth's funeral, right.
I feel that Satie touches the undiscovered corners of my soul with this beautiful piece...
I salute you for the master you are.you have roused my soul& moved me to tears..all who love Satie are indebted to you for this ethereal rendering of an enchanting work.bless you&thank you.
It is like watching the fingers dance! Completely amazing. Love it!
wie oft habe ich mir dieses stück schon angehört, es ist wunderbar!!
beautifull interpretation very smooth and tristess
Einfach schön und gruselig gleichzeitig woow!! 💯💯🙏🏼🇩🇪
Gruselig?
Ich persönlich finde dieses Stück so schön, sodass ich beim Zuhören in einen Traum versetzt werde...
Satie is my favorite. This is brilliant and I keep replaying. Thank you Alessio....
SATIE , c'est mon médicament, il envole mon âme
Effectivement, l'art en général, , et surtout la musique est le plus sain des antalgiques. A un moment de sombres idées, une 'note d'un morceau aimé, et, aussitôt,le cœur reprend souffle de vie.
I like that thundering low left handed B flat...
everyone does
Especially with headphones it sounds amazing
Erik, je sais que tu nous regardes de là haut et que tu t'affliges de notre monde si vil.
Repose en paix.
Timing is the key to life. This is a beautiful piece. Could make you cry....it makes me smile every time I hear it! Amazing 😁
Mr. Nanni's performance of this emotionally difficult piece is spot-on; brilliant
I am always transported away to another magical world when i hear this genius play. Thank you Alessio for making such sublime music available for us to hear and enjoy!

The most beautiful piece of music that I've heard. I feel very excited every time I listen to this theme. I love Satie!!
c est juste magnifique et tres bien joue, c est respectueux pour le compositeur , Merci de toute cette delicatesse avec le piano.Patrick.
Alessio is a Alchemist of Satie's music.
And this is a masterpiece of Satie's aesthetics
I see you, Rodzaevsky afficionados
This touches my soul!
This is my favorite! It puts my mind exactly where I need it to be.
Quelle belle interprétation , c'est merveilleux , Alessio vous maitrisez la partition mais plus important encore ,vous avez fait renaitre l'Ame de Satie .
Such a beautiful, haunting melancholy to this piece without straying into becoming depressing. I've listened to a lot of performances of this to find one that sounded "right" to me, this interpretation is perfect.
This is greatest story ecer told with no words at all. So beautiful and sensible. Greetings from Bosnia.
ERIK SATIE Gnossienne 1 je neosporni dokaz superiornosti klavira, gdje nizom ponavljanja taj instrument u pravim rukama, postaje kozmičkom silom koja nas tjera na vječita ponavljanja. Broj kombinacija pritom je beskrajan, upravo poradi te svoje jednostavnosti. U svakoj noti pronalazim nešto fascinantno, a ujedno i mistično. Svi Gnossienne su čudesni no 1 je poseban.
❤❤❤
It’s a song of absolute beauty where something isn’t right.
I always Come back to this video when I wanna hear this one.
You really nailed it with the tempo.
Thanks 😊
One of those pieces that seems easy to play but is nearly impossible to play perfectly. Like this. Bravo!
Can’t believe such a piece can have me experience so many emotions in one sitting, the shear calmness to then switch into a rage, I love it so much
