Trois morceaux en forme de poire
Trois morceaux en forme de poire ("Three Pieces in the Shape of a Pear") is a 1903 suite for piano four hands by French composer Erik Satie. A lyrical compendium of his early music, it is one of Satie's most famous compositions, second in popular recognition only to the "Gymnopédies" (1888). The score was not published until 1911. In performance it lasts around 14 minutes.
It is typical of Satie's eccentric humor that the suite consists of seven pieces, not three.
