How to Play Erik Satie | Gnossienne No.1 [Tutorial]

Here is my complete tutorial on "how to" learn, practice, and play the Gnossienne no.1 by Erik Satie.
You will see a guideline on approaching the piece, explained with pictures and playing.
I hope it will help you to get results quickly.
The Gnossiennes are several piano compositions written by the French composer Erik Satie in the late 19th century. For the most part, the works are in free time and highly experimental with form, rhythm, and chordal structure. The form, as well as the term, was invented by Satie.
Here is the sheet music (PDF);

Dear teacher, I loved it. It is amazing how you're able to describe patterns and nuances of music. I've just found your lessons (from the Bach Prelude in C minor tutorial) and already feel so grateful for them. I'm just a beginner, know almost nothing about tecniques. Your way of interpreting and expressing the essence of a piece feels genuine and gets straight to my understanding, without unnecessary complications. I'm eager to study with your help. Thank you! ❤

Your video is exactly what I was looking for : I already learned the piece via other tutos since I can't read sheets, but it sounded "messy" because I don't know when to play hard/soft and how to use correctly the pedal...You explain very well these details that make all the difference so thanks a lot sir! Keep it up please 👍

I think Satie would be proud of how you have explained this piece to us beginners. It allows us to focus on the dynamics. You've inspired me to to learn this for my 3rd recital piece in the spring. Thank you.

OMG i was so confused because the score I got has no pedaling and I'm not able to play it fast enough to see if Im getting the rythm and pedaling correct but you play it exactly the way I was thinking. I wish there were more tutorials like this not just showing the keyboard while somebody plays... Thank you for your help

@Antune 3 жыл бұрын

@@ricardoflores1969 Hi there, you can try the same pedaling as I do. I wouldn’t keep the pedal constantly, no matter what kind of instrument you are playing with. It will be too blurry and the harmonies will be mixed. I would change the pedal at least every next bar. Good luck!

@bflkel 3 жыл бұрын

This is great. I assume that's not the sostenuto middle pedal, is it? I was wondering if that would be worth trying to have the bass note sustain while everything else controlled by just holding down the keys. And that F above middle C in the melody that has to be raised to play the left hand gives it a staccato effect that is slightly distracting to me. He wrote it that way, but still.

@Antune 3 жыл бұрын

Hi, it is definitely worth to try. I haven’t used in this video though. I would still add the sustain pedal for the cords, while keeping it with the sostenuto pedal. If you do so, the last cord won’t have the staccato effect. Good luck!

Hi Dino, thanks for the comment. I am planning to do that in the future for all my tutorials, but I am afraid it’s not a possibility at the moment. It takes about 3-5 weeks to make a tutorial as I am doing it myself. Hopefully, in the future, when I have some people who help me, I’ll do include the scores with my musical marks. All the best!

Hi Kim, it is hard to say because I find it a little problematic to categorize the pieces by difficulty. Everyone might experience it differently, and everyone has different capabilities. Perhaps you can take a look at my playlist, which I named “Tutorials Level A”. These pieces are the easier ones in my experience, I hope you can find something you like. Good luck!

What about the tempo? I want to practice it with a metronome

@Antune 3 жыл бұрын

You can choose a very comfortable tempo (quarter note =50bpm for example) to start with metronome, and gradually increase the speed up to 110bpm.

7:18 Why do we play the melody with middle and index finger for the most part, instead of the thumb? Especially when we resolve to F at the end of the phrase, I see you play the F key with your index. Is it because of the legato nature of the piece?

@Antune 2 жыл бұрын

Just anatomically, it fits better, I think. Also, the combination of 2-3 indeed helps execute the legato melodically and naturally.
