Abstract
The article considers the original cycle of Erik Satie's plays "Gnossiennes", created by the French composer in the early period of his creative life. The name of the cycle might be connected with the ancient Greek word Gnosis (knowledge), which implies the embodiment of one's thinking about the existence. The six plays of the cycle are marked by a specific combination of the simplicity of the means used and some mystery, incompleteness. There are no indications of meter, beat divisions in the cycle, the endings of short pieces are conventionally presented, immersing in the state of detachment, peace, and contemplation. The proposed chronotopic analysis of the cycle allows us to present each of the plays as a separate phase chronotope. As a result it creates a holistic time-space picture. The textural features common to all the plays are emphasized as manifestations of a stable chronotope.
Keywords
