Key Features:
About the Gymnopédies: Composed by Erik Satie and first published in 1888, the Gymnopédies mark a departure from traditional 19th-century salon music. Inspired by Satie’s experiences and literary influences, the works are known for their dissonant yet melodic quality and a unique, melancholic atmosphere.
Fun Fact: The term “gymnopaedist” was coined by Satie, possibly as a humorous self-description when he introduced himself at the Chat Noir cabaret. His Gymnopédies continue to be a cornerstone of modern piano repertoire.
