Description
Francis Poulenc, born in Paris in 1899, emerged as a distinguished composer and pianist. His Trois Pièces for Piano, created in 1928 early in his career, set the stage for remarkable piano compositions that followed. As a member of Les Six, Poulenc's musical style diverged from that of Richard Wagner and the impressionists Claude Debussy and Maurice Ravel. The Trois Pièces for Piano consists of three movements: Pastorale, Hymne, and Toccata, each showcasing the piano's capabilities. This imaginative and evocative work offers great enjoyment for pianists.
