Trois morceaux en forme de poire (Three Pieces in the Shape of a Pear) is a 1903 suite for piano four hands by French composer Erik Satie. A lyrical compendium of his early music, it is one of Satie's most famous compositions, second in popular recognition only to the Gymnopédies (1888).[1] The score was not published until 1911. In performance it lasts around 14 minutes.
It is typical of Satie's eccentric humour that the suite consists of seven pieces, not three.
