French composer Erik Satie created several works for the piano entitled Gnossienne. This is the second piece in a set of three composed before the three works explicitly titled Gnossienne, but not published until after the composer's death, and not originally titled Gnossienne or numbered as such, and the fifth piece of what ultimately became seven works that shared the name Gnossienne. This rendition was performed by the La Pianista.
