Product description
This Sonata For Flute and Piano is a virtuosic Flute solo by renowned influential French composer Francis Poulenc. Written in 1956-57, this is an elegant, dreamy chamber work and he has demonstrated his obvious compositional skill, also highlighting the French affinity with the sweet sounds of the Flute.
Francis Jean Marcel Poulenc (1899 - 1963) was a French composer and pianist. He liked to write pieces for solo piano, but he also wrote chamber music, choral pieces, operas, ballets and orchestral concert music. He was a member of the Paris Six (a group of French composers whose music is often seen as a defiance against Wagnerism and Impressionism). An unusually rich melodic invention is evident in his compositions. Francis Poulenc did not have a classical compositional education and perhaps that is why he brought new melodies, insight, wit and elegance to French music.
