In 1903, Satie composed his famous cycle for piano duet with the provocative and ambiguous title '3 Morceaux en forme de Poire?. (In French, 'poire? means 'pear? but also 'dimwit?). It is a detached and ironic commentary on the constraints of musical form.Now this cycle is being published in a scholarly-critical Urtext edition for the first time. Convenient page turns, a score format, translations of the French expression and tempo markings, Satie's enigmatic introduction, performance suggestions by the Satie specialist Steffen Schleiermacher and a detailed foreword by the renowned musicologist Jens Rosteck make the study and performance of these pieces a true pleasure.- First scholarly-critical Urtext edition- Of an easy to moderate level of difficulty- Includes translations of all expression and tempo markings (Fr/Ger/Eng)- Detailed foreword (Ger/Eng) and Critical Commentary (Eng) / Piano 4 Mains
