Erik Satie loved to satirize academic rules in general and the impressionistic titles of Debussys compositions in particular, giving his own works such surrealistic names as Pieces in Pear Form and Dried Embryos. This delightful selection of 17 piano works includes Gymnopdies and Gnossiennes; Sarabandes; Poudre dOr; Aperus dsagreables; Pices froides; En habit de cheval; Descriptions automatiques; and more.
