The present volume contains a selection of the best-known and most popular pieces by Satie, including Gymnopédies and Gnossiennes, but also two early works (1885), compositions from the neo-Gregorian period (1888-1893) and from the world of the cabaret (1897-1904) as well as two miniatures from 1913.
This anthology takes the performer on a journey through Satie's different creative periods and provides a detailed picture of his development as a composer.
