History
Erik Satie cuts an incredible path through the avante-garde French compositional style of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. He is probably most well-known for his 'Gymnopédies' which somewhat coincidentally also are comprised of three pieces as are the Gnossiennes.
Performance notes:
Gnossienne No. 1 whilst a short and relatively easy piece does have some particular challenges. The constant use of acciaccatura to embellish the melody require constant attention and left-hand strength in the little finger.
Double-string hammer-ons near the end are rarely found in classical guitar transcriptions. These, combined with artificial harmonics do provide the guitarist with food for thought as do the pull-offs executed simultaneously with an artificial harmonic in the right-hand.
