🇫🇷Francis Jean Marcel Poulenc ： Promenades à moto in unknown FP.24

“Promenades à moto” is a short piece from Poulenc’s collection Promenades. It evokes a sense of brisk movement through crisp rhythms and forward-driving motion. The music seems to proceed through changing brief ideas, and its appeal lies in the contrast between its bright, humorous character and its almost mechanical sense of motion. In performance, do not pursue speed alone: keep the rhythmic flow steady, make the accents clear, and treat the exchanges between small notes lightly. Use the pedal sparingly so that the sound does not become blurred, and bring out the changes of expression from one passage to the next with precision.
