fun reminder that Erik Satie was said to take his pet lobster out for walks

and of course he wrote a lobster-themed piece. Embryons desséchés is a short suite from 1913, and is probably my favorite example of musical humor.

Cucumbers. Three years earlier, Debussy had written his first book of Preludes. The Sunken Cathedral tries to depict the mythic underwater city of Ys. Satie though this was too Romantic, and said he wanted to write something "he had seen with his own eyes". We also get a lot of salon patterns, and a melody of a famous song he probably had to play a thousand nights at Montmartre. This opening piece ends with a Romantic coda where I repeats longer than it needs to.

Edriophthalma (now called "Arthropods", like a giant underwater isopod). A little funeral march, parody of Chopin. In the score, he writes "Citation de la célèbre mazurka de SCHUBERT". I do like his simplified version of the original Nocturne-style middle section, and it's silly ending.

Decapoda (like smaller crabs and lobsters with 10 legs). This movement has a nod to classical hunting-horn fanfares. 'Hunting' sea creatures? Probably got that idea from Jules Vierne. The piece is only about a minute and a half long, but the last thirty seconds is an "obligatory cadenza" that's probably a nod to Beethoven's use of the same joke.
