The somewhat wayward French composer Erik Satie was often criticized that his compositions would have no form. So he collected some of his pieces into a kind of "best of" and put them in the shape of a pear. It should not be forgotten that the French word "poire" doesn't just mean "pear", but also "idiot". It also fits his humor that the work consists of seven movements.
