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 whimiscal 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 Méditation), his former teacher of counterpoint at the Schola Cantorum in Paris.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eInventory # :  51481181\u003cbr\u003e\nUPC:  884088924539\u003cbr\u003e\nISBN:  \u003cbr\u003e\nWidth:  9\"\u003cbr\u003e\nLength:  12\"\u003cbr\u003e\nHeight:  0.084\"\u003cbr\u003e\nProduct Weight:  0.2 lbs.\u003cbr\u003e\nNumber of Pages:  20\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Henle Urtext Edition","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49379022930214,"sku":"51481181","price":13.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0128\/7762\/7456\/files\/ef3e8c0f-c7b8-508f-901c-e309c79b8d68.jpg?v=1723596872","url":"https:\/\/retrostar-gifts.myshopify.com\/products\/erik-satie-avant-dernieres-pensees","provider":"Retrostar Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
