erik satie gnossienne 1

[patiatarim]

i don't understand the tecnique but sounds good.

[MotEmantsalon]

@patiatarim Exactly! I think you'll find that more often than not, the best Satie is played with a remarkable lack of technique. The spontaneousness of "how I want to play" against the beauty of his notes can make an awesome effect. P:

That said, there might be a few too many changes in timing in this version.. o; I think, when there is a section played twice in a row (repeats), it's safest to play them at the same speed.

[giteart]

I like the slower speed. Good one! 5*

[stefannestoroski]

slower!! I dont care what the notes say, it sounds 10 times better slower. Technically... not so bad, but you're playing it too mechanically... Meditate!!

[Klangzauberer]

Moderate performance. When it becomes louder I wouldn't accelerate. This goes at the expense of calmness and meditation. All in all it was too loud for my taste but this could also be because the camera was to close to the piano.

[samsnake1989]

this is amazing but this guy is amatuer  :(

[masterfurniture]

beautiful. thank you.

[petrustella]

Beautiful played, the bright and firm way to the eternal spirit in music...

Congratulations... Lux in cordis nobis...

[totoledjay]

at 2,55 there is a mistake.... that sounds really good to me! :D

[AtziriKaiser]

mein Traum

[zeclam]

this song is sick, however. the keychange sucks.

[hermanzoon]

Please explain what you mean by "sick". Using a word such as that means nothing at all to anyone except to you, perhaps. It might not be the word you actually want to use. Perhaps if you explained what you mean, you would come closer to what you really experience when you hear this music. Thanks.

[zeclam]

Just Saying i Like the song, I don't play piano that well, probably not as good as you do. When i have read gnossienne on manuscript it doesn't give much indication on tempo and shit like that. So maybe he's leaving it for the musician to play it how he feels it should be played. So when i describe it as "sick" which only means something to me then that is my own way of viewing the song.

[Younes1337]

I like the video, but i have the feeling the piano is not tuned correctly and you make some timing mistakes on the part where u have to speed up. Also when u speed up, that part has to be played louder then the other parts.

[nodestativ]

i like it :)

[CarlosTrin]

Mirsala, i had never heard this piece played with a change of tempo and i don't think i like that .... other than that, just beautiful, bravo

[lovinthepiano]

woah. i must say. this is very good

[cannamh]

Amazing! I like the way you are playing it and it reminds me of one of my favorite movies of all time -The Painted Veil

[interchick]

I'm in love with this tune and you paly it absolutely delicious! Please tell me where can i download the sheet music from.

[BANOU34]

c'est vraiment tres beau; j'aimerais beaucoup avoir la partition;pourriez vous me la faire parvenir svp; je reve de savoir jouer ce morceau;mille merci;;;;;;;;;

[Amarris0sky]

This video makes me want to suck on your fingers! Love It!

[F33bs]

Aww, why is this getting voted down? I thought it was a funny comment.

[varsovierue]

belle interprétation, mais le tempo bouge .

Bravo !

[miztlik]

simplente una obra de dios creada para estos simples y hulmides mortales. excelente

[Slopies]

Okaayyy... I'm printing this song Right now!

[natliedr]

where did you get it for free ?

[Problembeing]

Musicandtoys & I have something in common. Since I rediscovered this piece I've been enraptured. Your performance is perfect! I wish I could play it :D

[gothiclean]

congratulations girl! (: i'm studying this piece, i love it.

kisses!

[musicandtoys]

I have been trying to find out the name of this piece for nearly 30 years.

I heard it a long time ago & wanted to play it on the piano. I did not know what it was called or who it was by. I have been searching all this time & just found it here on You tube. Thankyou so much - my life long search is over!

You play it very well - BRILLIANT !!

[clemthegiant]

It's good.

[aivanet]

I agree with some comment read here... too fast.

I'd have changed the tempo variations to slower tempo and not faster.

[lioniella]

Just been to see the movie The Painted Veil and this was part of the musical score. Beautiful music, love your rendition too.

[mindzestep]

This is Brilliant !

[bubylugo88]

VERY GOOOD!!!!!!!!!!!

[onlynanaki]

A little bit slower and don't accelerate tempo just more brilliant i think

Nice job :)

[erkanen]

ok version. ok tempo, more dynamics.

[borntofly666]

this music was in the film Paris (2008) and in the TV adaption of Agatha Christie : Hercule Poirot (David Suchet), Five Little Pigs (2003)

Beautiful, I love so much this piano <3

Five stars ! ;)

[theadirondackcoyote]

It was also in the movie Choclate (2001)

[GetMeThere1]

Also some gnossienne variants are in the last film with the great Peter Sellers: "Being There." If you haven't seen it (it's almost 30years old now!), I recommend it highly.

Erik Satie has his own entry on imdb. It lists 37 movie credits for him--about evenly divided between the Gymnopedies and the Gnossiennes.

[maartenv230292]

wonderful.This is the best misic ever

[XianSheng123]

Where is your interpretation? Keep an eye on tempo, in the sheet it says "lent".

An average job, but you are on the right way.

[yodlolo]

Un fifrelin trop rapide..

[NOxBEAUTY]

This is such a beautiful song. Our English teacher played it for us today, and I knew I must listen to it again.

I'm 16, I enjoy punk rock and alt. rock, but I also like this.

[frederique70]

It's too fast sometimes. let your fingers follow

[Sebasalfonso]

Ah! Esta era la melodía preferida del gran escritor colombiano German Espinosa. En el cielo la escuchan. It sounds through the sky

[poliador]

You did a great job mirsala. You must have practiced a lot. Thanks for playing this piece of music.

[poliador]

This melody was used in the movie Chocolat. It is a delight to the ear as chocolate is to the mouth and nose.

[YunaRinoaPenelo]

Shut up everybody, THIS, is music!!

[lablondoctobre]

cette musique est dans le voile des illusion

[aminacool]

it's perfect

[chevyimpala6765]

beautiful it reminds me of when i went on a roadtrip with my friend and we listened to that in a beuaitul rainforest and it was so amazing and calm.

xx

your fantastic

[TheGoldWatch]

Nor is condescension

[cedar688]

nice try. condescension does not apply here, or to the CONSTRUCTIVE comments people have left. as indicated by your first comment (You're a jerk), your taking away from progress here. i guess digression might apply. condescension: voluntary descent from one's rank or dignity in relations with an inferior

2 : patronizing attitude or behavior

[TheGoldWatch]

You live alone, don't you?

[cedar688]

hahahahaha, awesome...moron

[TheGoldWatch]

Ah, sorry, my last comment wasn't for the piano player, I was responding to cedar a few posts down. For some reason my browser posts replies to comments at the top of the list instead of at the bottom of the comment.

[konzeptual]

the consistence should be define

too much jumping from one tempo to another

you cant do that to satie

satie is the precursor to modern ambient music. gentle yet somewhat eccentric .

but always gentle

nice try.

[sorchathestar]

far too clunky. where is your balance? its all at the same level. try to picture an image as you're playing, and play responding to the image. gently. but you can play it. which i guess is a start.

[TheGoldWatch]

You're a jerk

[gohepcat]

Not bad at all, but you can clearly see that you are simply transribing the sheet music at some points. The brain reads in chunks, and at the more dificult parts you seem to be clumping notes together. Erik Satie is very hard though.

[bokiboy]

that was really nice. Good job. :-D

[5stringofFernandoSor]

I love Satie. So French. His music is best at night. The music evokes such a passion for longing to me... :( Nice work, but this song is even better when played s l o w e r with a sense of loneliness.

[cololyzt]

very nice hands...

[raymonda100]

Good but it needs a much lighter quality - the transitions also need to 'sing' - at times the tempo seems plodding rather than steady. I'm not a piano teacher so I have no idea how you would do everything I'm suggesting! I just love music and listen to a lot.

[bongo2209]

cool

[googleplex1993]

is the changeable tempo intentional?

[kh0annguyen]

Nice playing. You might intentionally be doing it, but you should try to keep the tempo steady.

[fenthepinkgirl]

watch your timing, but otherwise very impressive! Well done!

[dedko05]

you have beautiful creamy fingers..

[gabriellus021]

lol

[bluetoad2001]

so easy to make comments.

beautiful sound you get with this instrument

thanks for the tune. satie rules and you did a fine job.

buzz

[sufructuosa]

no esta muy rapido?, eso lo hace inseguro, un 8 sobre 10.

[2zwaantjes]

Very nice, though my comment is that it should be played with a much lighter touch. You're playing it too heavy, and too fast.

[Javiminero]

Wow!! Well done!!

How many hours have you been practicing?

[watchitbuster]

Very nice!

[midikid98]

Good effort, but try not to 'bang' out the notes. Try to play this piece less mechanically and with more emotion in it. Too much use, or rather too much improper use, of the pedal. Too fast in places.

[andreamanara]

beautiful hands.

[poolfarm2]

This is'nt very good, but i wish i could play like this.

[2MIAMI]

tempo is off --too fast in places. re-record without clicking sound in background and wacth for consistancy... you're about sa 7 out of 10 on this ---good luck!

[stephenc251]

clockwork orange :)

[lactress]

well done =)!

[Attansamadi]

u have to play it sorowfull, & sad

Thats the thing of satie and in 0:49, u have to play your righthand more in the staccato way

[trucuku1982]

on 0:55 you were wayyy to fast....

[pastor1us]

a good effort... it's quite rigid, however. the dynamics and tempo really sway in this one, it's much less regular. really try to FEEL the song, which i realize is very difficult when you're at all challenged by the technical aspects of the song.

[kashmic]

Your playing is a litle bit too rough and rapidid. Read the comments on the sheets and try to transend them. Maybe your piano is too old. d.

Lack the pedal. But its good., You can do better, slowly.y.

[Pacman576]

i love it my favorite composer just a little slower...=]

[Deluisse]

i love satie. you do a fine tribute. you're lucky to play the piano. keep it up!

[greebo61]

the definitive Gnossienne needs to be played slower and more softly imho.

[paskar76]

You have to play it faster indeed.

It's a fun piece so enjoy it!

[niicopathe]

nice but maybe you should play this one slower and lighter, it's a very aerian piece I think, but it's just my point of view and satie wrote it without a lot of precisions about the way to play it.

I hope you will understand what I mean because I am french and my english is a bit poor...

[lordtains]

actually its supposed to be played faster (lento). i learned to play it yesterday.

[allieonthemoon]

I love this Gnossienne! I learned it just a few days ago, and it's really wonderful, even though it has a ghostly sound. I like the way you play it, too. Good work

[i742]

very g00d indeed!

[alouette888]

very good!!

[sianinho]

love this piece so much! you play it beautifully
