Composed when Poulenc was just 19, this three-movement piano piece exemplifies his signature simplicity and melodic talent, while also reflecting the influences of Erik Satie and Emmanuel Chabrier. Notably, the work is devoid of key signatures, allowing each movement to traverse various keys in a state of "perpetual" motion. Additionally, the score includes historical and performance notes for further context.

Ten Promenades for Piano by Francis Poulenc.
This French composer and pianist was a member of Les Six, a collective of French composers influenced by the aesthetic principles of Erik Satie. Poulenc's style, characterized by its spontaneity and lyricism, is particularly well-suited for smaller compositions, exemplified by this remarkable sonata for piano duet.
Francis Poulenc (1899-1963) was one of the great French composers for piano, following in the tradition of Debussy and Ravel.
