🇫🇷Francis Jean Marcel Poulenc ： 15 Impromptus No.7 in C-Dur FP.176

No. 7 condenses Poulenc’s clear contours and mercurial shifts of expression into a concise piece. Its lively rhythmic motion contrasts with moments of songful melody, while the transitions between ideas carry a sense of wit. In performance, it is important to balance the voices so that the melody emerges naturally, shaping the character through crisp articulation and flexible dynamics. Avoiding an overly hurried tempo and preserving the breath of each short phrase allows the delicate nuances within its lightness to come through.
