Description
In a typically humorous manner Satie countered the myth of the great master's last thought with his "Avant-dernieres pensees" (Next-to-Last Thoughts). As was usual with his piano works from 1912 onwards, each of the three highly distinctive pieces with their sound-sensitive piano settings contained a short whimsical story printed in the musical text as a subtext, which is more or less closely connected with the music. Satie dedicated his "Next-to-Last Thoughts" to prominent contemporaries: Claude Debussy (for No. 1 "Idylle"), with whom he was close friends, Paul Dukas (No. 2 "Aubade, in English Dawn Serenade"), whose music he greatly admired, and Albert Roussel (No. 3 "Meditation"), his former teacher of counterpoint at the Schola Cantorum in Paris.
