Where will one find Schubert's Mazurka musically referred to?

In Erik Satie's Embryons desséchés ("Dessicated embryos"): "The parts of the composition are:... 2. (Desiccated embryo) of an Edriophthalma (1 July 1913), dedicated to Edouard Dreyfus:...in this part of the composition he makes fun of Frédéric Chopin's funeral march (by the way calling it a "famous" mazurka by Schubert - now, there is no "famous" mazurka by Schubert: Schubert composed many dances, but no mazurkas - mazurkas are Polish dances: Chopin had been the most famous Polish composer that ever lived in Paris, and he had particularly favoured the composition of mazurkas... there's the link Satie makes with a curb)." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embryons_dess%C3%A9ch%C3%A9s "Satie was well known for curious directions to the would-be performer of his piano works, and also a sort of "running commentary" which he inserted into his humouristic works." http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Erik_Satie Nov 11 09, 7:18 PM

Yay! Some of the directions include ones to play 'nocturnally' and 'as dry as a cuckoo'. The 'dessicated embryos' composition is divided into sections bearing the scientific names of sea cucumbers. Makes 'MacArthur Park' and 'Whiter Shade of Pale' look quite normal...... Nov 12 09, 2:26 PM
