Erik Satie, Gnossienne 1/ Rembrandt, Self-Portraits. Julia Rovinsky, Harp. #harp #pianomusic #music

French musician Erik Satie is one of the most influential late 19th - 20th - century composers. His music at times sounds strange, but every time one is listening to it, he desires to hear it more and more. Satie was a predecessor of contemporary Minimal music aesthetic: he wrote many experimental compositions, invented unusual forms, harmony structures, melodies and musical pieces names. Gnossiennes are an example of this approach. All Gnossiennes were originally made for the piano, but they sound very good on the harp.
Rembrandt lived in the 17th century. He painted self-portraits during his whole life. Collected together, these self-portraits are generating the story of the artist and his tragic life.
Gnossienne No1 by Erik Satie was probably not inspired by Rembrandt's life story nor by his paintings, but by its sad and philosophical character. it is connected with Rembrandt's art exceptionally well.
