{"product_id":"afw-51481181","title":"Avant-dernières Pensées","description":"In a typically humorous manner Satie countered the myth of the great master's “last thought” with his “Next-to-last thoughts” (“Avant-dernières Pensées”). 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.","brand":"Henle Urtext Edition","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50548244349007,"sku":"AFW-51481181","price":10.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0686\/1271\/8671\/files\/AFW-51481181.jpg?v=1790695165","url":"https:\/\/amadeussheetmusic.com\/products\/afw-51481181","provider":"Amadeus Sheet Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
