Gymnopédies / Gnossiennes / Sports et Divertissements

Gymnopédies / Gnossiennes / Sports et Divertissements is a compilation of solo piano works by French composer Erik Satie, composed between 1888 and 1914. The music is characterised by spare, modal harmonies, subtle rhythmic ambiguity and a restrained, often theatrical affect that positioned Satie as a precursor to aspects of 20th-century modernism and later minimalist tendencies, reflecting a shift in his output toward concise, atmospheric forms.
