Trois morceaux en

forme de poire
"The first time I used a photoscope I examined a
pear of medium size. I assure you I have never seen
anything more repulsive. I called my servant and
Oriol-Enric Batlle showed it to her"
 Erik Satie
(1866-1925)
 Once, after we had played Morceaux en forme de poire, I asked our hero.why he gave
such a title Pieces in the Shape of a Pear to this ravishing music. He answered with a
twinkle in his eyes: You do know that I visited Debussy quite often; I admire him
immensely and he seems to think much of whatever talent I may have.
Nevertheless, one day when I showed him a piece I had just composed he remarked,
Satie, you never had two greater admirers than Ravel and myself; many of your early
works had an influence on our writing.You have some kind of genius, or you have
genius, period. Now as a true friend, I may warn you that from time to time there is in
your art a certain lack of form All I did, added Satie, was to write Morceaux en forme
de poire. I brought them to Debussy who asked, Why such a title? Why? Simply, mon
cher ami, because you cannot criticize my Pieces in the shape of a pear. If they are en
forme de poire they cannot be shapeless.
