He gave these the eccentric title Gnossiennes andprovided consciously ironic performance instructions in which he satirized the excessive gestures of Romantic piano playing.This Bärenreiter Urtext edition offers new variant readings and presents Gnossienne No. 7 in itsauthenticform for the first time. Like the Gymnopédies (BA 10804), the Gnossiennes are particularly suitable for piano teaching because of their easy to medium difficulty level. Suggestions for performance are given by the Satiespecialist Steffen Schleiermacher. In addition a detailed foreword by the distinguished musicologist Jens Rosteck provides valuable information on the background to the composition, its significance and interpretation.
