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 whimsical 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.
