The Prélude d'Eginhard (Prelude to Eginhard) is an 1893 composition for solo piano by Erik Satie. It is a notable example of his "Rosicrucian" or "mystic" period. Unpublished during his lifetime, it was issued posthumously in 1929. A typical performance lasts under 3 minutes. Although it stands as one of Satie's more obscure pieces, it has been admired for its succinctness and well-balanced musical construction. Composer-musicologist Patrick Gowers ventured that the Prélude d'Eginhard was "perhaps the most perfect miniature" in all of Satie's Rose + Croix music.
