Like his fellow members of the revolutionary group Les Six, Poulenc rebelled against the status quo. He preferred to write for unusual instrument combinations and never wrote for the same instrument ensemble twice. Originally written as a novelty piece in 1922, Poulenc's Sonata is undoubtedly the most recognized work in the brass trio repertoire. Itis filled with his characteristic wit and humor. Trombone glissandi and abrupt tempo changes combined with contrasting articulations between instruments accentuate Poulenc's sense of folly and evoke visions of a rowdy Parisian circus. V3NTO
