Novelette in C Major: Modéré sans lenteur Novelette in B-flat minor: Très rapide et rhythmé Novelette in E minor: Andantino tranquillo
This year marks 5 decades since the death of Francis Poulenc. The composer claimed that his most inventive piano writing manifested itself in his art songs (which after those of Debussy represent the most important contribution to mélodies), as opposed to large-scale solo works for the piano.The Trois Novelettes display Poulenc’s superb sense of structure, with the finest compositional details resulting in three perfect miniatures.Pieter Grobler
