Embryons desséchés

Composed 1913

Published 1913

Works 3

Three 'Dried Embryos' from 1913 named after sea creatures. The second piece contains a famous misquotation of Schubert's Marche militaire, labelled by Satie as 'a well-known mazurka by Schubert'. The irony is both affectionate and devastating.
