Gnossienne No. 1

E. Satie (1866-1925) - Trois Gnossiennes (1890)

Satie wrote it without bar lines or time signature; this edition adds bar lines. His strange instructions ('Very shining', 'Questioning', 'From the tip of the thought') are part of the music and are printed with translations. Keep the left hand's bass and chord steady under the free melody.
