Description

Erik Satie Gnossienne 4 performed by Steinway Artist Alessio Nanni, piano, Italy.
Gnossienne nr.4 by Satie, one of the most mysterious composition by the genius of Erik Satie, dated 1891.
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. 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 4 to Theseus, Ariadne and the Minotaur myth.
