🇫🇷Francis Jean Marcel Poulenc ： 15 Impromptus No.4 in As-Dur FP.176

No. 4 from Poulenc’s 15 Impromptus is a concise miniature that combines an approachable melody with light, agile movement. A key feature is the contrast between passages in which the principal melody naturally comes to the fore and those where delicate figuration takes prominence, creating a sense of changing expression within a short span. In performance, the meter should not be treated mechanically; it is important to preserve the natural breath of each phrase. Give the melody a gentle singing quality, while keeping the accompaniment and decorative figures light and clear to bring out the music’s refined character.
