In the summer of 1913 Satie once more poked fun at himself and the world of music with a set of parodic piano pieces on various marine animals, giving it the grotesque title 'Embryons desséchés? (Dessicated Embryos)(BA 10811). The atmospheric cycle 'Avant-dernières Pensées? (Next-to-last Thoughts) (BA 10849) of 1915, with its underlaid words, likewise belongs to Satie's 'story pieces'. The notatio…

Par FARKAS FERENC. The musical material for these pieces was taken from the 17th century Kulcsar Melodiarium (Sarospatak, 1770), Novak Melodiarium (Sarospatak) and Patak Melodiarium (1798).

Op. 79. Par BRAHMS JOHANNES. Brahms' vivacious 'Rhapsodies” op. 79 of 1879 are among his most frequently played works. He had a hard time finding a suitable title for them, vacillating between 'Piano Piece”, 'Capriccio” (No. 1) and ”Caprices”. His hand was forced by the dedicatee Elisabeth von Herzogenberg, who welcomed the pieces with the salutation 'Ye (to me) nameless ones in the nebulous garb …
