🇫🇷Francis Jean Marcel Poulenc ： Sonata for Piano Four Hands in unknown FP.8

Poulenc’s Sonata for Piano Four Hands consists of three movements and leaves a strong impression through its concise motifs, sharp rhythmic sense, and light-hearted humor. In the lively passages, listen for the momentum created by the exchange of material and the placement of accents; in contrasting sections, savor the phrasing and the resonance of the sound. The performers should unite the full range of the four-hand texture as though it were a single instrument, while keeping each voice distinct and using the pedal sparingly to preserve transparency. Avoid letting the music become merely light, and respond swiftly to sudden changes of expression to bring out its wit and refinement.
