Erik Satie
Three Pieces in the Shape of a Pear
About Erik Satie's Three Pieces in the Shape of a Pear
The title of this set was Satie’s ironic response to critics, who had described his compositions as lacking in formal structure.
This is another work by Satie that shows his obsession with the number three – only in this case the “three pieces” are surrounded by a set of introductions, additions and repetitions to make the total number of pieces seven.
