Francis Poulenc. The in-turn breathy sensuousness and penetrating brilliance of the flute, an instrument beloved by French composers, are perfect timbral qualities for music by Poulenc. No French composer epitomized the elegance, clarity, and droll wit of Francis Poulenc: Sonata for Flute and Piano 20th-century Gallic spirit better than Poulenc, and it is not surprising that he came around to expressing these national characteristics in a work for an instrument that can delineate them so well. The first movement is in simple three-part form. Having sung his tender song, Poulenc devises a virtuosic finale that is nearly all one big elbow in the ribs. Everyone knows that Poulenc can be, among other things, suave, sensuous, and slapstick; the Flute Sonata is a three-movement confirmation of this character description. All Rights Reserved.

Sonata for flute & piano, FP | Details | AllMusic Francis Poulenc was a French composer and pianist who, along the other members of Les Sixsought to liberate French classical music from foreign influence. Following several successful premieres, Poulenc studied composition with Charles Koechlin. Poulenc divided most of his life between concertizing in Paris and retreating to compose in rural Noizay. He gave his first concert tour through the United States in and continued to return regularly through The Coolidge Foundation contacted Poulenc in and offered him a commission for a piece of chamber music. Jean-Pierre Rampal gave the unofficial premiere of the work with Poulenc at the piano, and recalled learning of the commission in his autobiography:. I never knew her, so I think the piece is yours.

Sonata for flute and piano (Francis Poulenc) The sonata was commissioned by the American Library of Congress and is dedicated to the memory of Elizabeth Sprague Coolidgean American patron of chamber music. Poulenc preferred composing for woodwinds above strings. The work was an Francis Poulenc: Sonata for Flute and Piano success, and was quickly taken up in the US, Britain and elsewhere and has been recorded many times. Critics have noted Poulenc's characteristic "trademark bittersweet grace, wit, irony and sentiment" in the piece. Inthirteen years after Poulenc's death, the composer Lennox Berkeley made a well-regarded orchestrated version of the work that has also been recorded. The Francis Poulenc: Sonata for Flute and Piano sonata became one of Poulenc's best-known works and is a prominent feature in 20th-century flute repertoire. It has a claim to be the most played of any work for flute and piano. Francis Poulenc: Sonata for Flute and Piano told him, "Much more at home with wind instruments than strings, I admit I am tempted by this combination", as he had always preferred winds — with their similarities to the human voice — to stringed instruments. Poulenc spent the winter of —57 in Canneswhere he composed the sonata between December and March. On 18 Junethe public premiere was given at the Strasbourg Music Festival by the flautist Jean-Pierre Rampalfor whom it had been written, with the composer at the piano. Another critic stated that the sonata was "the best of Poulenc, and even a little better". The sonata is in three movements, taking a total of 12 minutes in performance. In a new edition by Carl B. Schmidt and Patricia Harper was issued, correcting discrepancies and errors in the earlier published score. Francis Poulenc: Sonata for Flute and Piano piano's right-hand part interweaves arpeggiated semiquavers over a pedal in the left hand. Wilfrid Mellers comments that the reappearance of the first theme in an unexpected key makes it clear that Poulenc is not following sonata form but is using "a subtle ternary structure". The flute part is technically demanding in this movement, with frequent trills and demisemiquaver tonguing. The shape is roughly that of a rondo with choruses and verses, but Poulenc treats the form freely. In Mellers's phrase, "The flute flickers, the piano bounces, in a helter skelter gallop". Poulenc considered giving the American premiere together with Rampal during a planned US tour, but the tour did not take place and Rampal gave the American premiere in February with his regular accompanist Robert Veyron-Lacroix. The American premiere was recorded, as was the composer's Paris performance with Rampal. In the flautist James Galway asked the English composer Sir Lennox Berkeleya good friend of Poulenc's for many years, to orchestrate the sonata. The musicologist Roger Covell wrote of Berkeley's orchestration, "It is hard to imagine the job being done better … this sonata-concerto has Poulenc's characteristic and attractive mixture of flippancy and tenderness". From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. In working on this Flute Sonata I have Francis Poulenc: Sonata for Flute and Piano feeling of going back a long way, but with a more settled technique. It's a sonata of Debussyan dimensions. Finding the form for your language is the most difficult thing. It's what Webern has in the highest degree … and what Boulez has not yet found. Very fast and very tricky for the players, the skittish and vivacious … finale brings the work to a close in cheerful and sardonic style. Fragments of the first section's airborne melody intermingle with ecstatic spurtings of the middle theme. A coda to the coda is explicitly based on blue false relations between major and minor thirds. The task of orchestrating Poulenc's Flute Sonata The difficulty is the entirely pianistic nature of the accompaniment, extremely difficult to translate into orchestral terms. Another difficulty is that Francis, though there are things I love in his music, has passages that are strangely clumsy and that I long to rewrite, but of course I can't add or subtract anything and I should only spoil the whole thing … I have to think all the time of how he would have wanted it to sound. He thought little of his own sonatas for cello and for violin. Notes to Naxos CD 8. Statement made at 1 minute from start. ReviewThe Musical TimesSeptemberp. Retrieved 7 April Francis Poulenc.

A. School of Music Second Reader: __________________________________ Cynthia GonzaLes, Ph.D. School of Music Approved: ____________________________________ Heather C. GaLLoway, Ph.D. Dean, Honors ColLege 2 Abstract This thesis contains a performance guide for Sergey Prokofiev’s Sonata for Flute and Piano in D Major, Op. 94 (1943). Prokofiev is among the most important Russian composers of the twentieth century. Recognized as a leading Neoclassicist, his bold innovations in harmony and his new palette of tone colors enliven the classical structures he embraced. This is especially evident in this flute sonata, which provides a microcosm of Prokofiev’s compositional style and highlights the beauty and virtuosic breadth of the flute in new ways. In Part 1 I have constructed an historical context for the sonata, with biographical information about Prokofiev, which includes anecdotes about his personality and behavior, and a discussion of the sonata’s commission and subsequent premiere. In Part 2 I offer an anaLysis of the piece with generaL performance suggestions and specific performance practice options for flutists that will assist them as they work toward an effective performance, one that is based on both the historically informed performance context, as well as remarks that focus on particular techniques, challenges and possible performance solutions.

Bohuslav grew up in a family without material wealth. He began violin at a young age and excelled quickly. The town was impressed by his talent when attending his recitals, and raised the funds to send him to the Prague Conservatory in 1906. Martinu was expelled from the Prague conservatory in 1910 due to "incorrigible negligence." Martinu became more interested in the composition aspect of music than his individual performance, and as such did not practice his violin enough. First Sonata for Flute and Piano was composed in 1945 in South Orleans, Cape Cod. During this time, Marinu was living in the United States to escape France when it was occupied by the Nazis in WW2. Though he didn't speak english very well, Martinu quickly adapted to his environment and ended up teaching both at Princeton and the Tanglewood institution in Berkshire. First Sonata was written for Georges Laurent, the principle flutist of the Boston Symphony. It premiered in New York 1949. Remnants ofMartinu's past can be heard throughout the sonata, such as the perfect fourths in the first movement that represent the church bells his father rang.

    Balkan Müzik ve Sanat Dergisi Nisan 2021 Cilt 3 Sayı 1 (107-120) 107 DOI: 10.47956/bmsd.898174 İnceleme Makalesi FRANCIS POULENC’İN FLÜT VE PİYANO SONATI HAKKINDA BİR İNCELEME A REWIEV OF FRANCIS POULENC’S FLUTE AND PIANO SONATA Çisem ÖNVER ZAFER* Geliş Tarihi: 16.02.2021 Kabul Tarihi: 15.03.2021 (Received) (Accepted) Öz: Çağdaş dönem müziği denilince akla gelen isimlerden biri olan Francis Poulenc, üflemeli çalgıların repertuvarlarına zenginlik kazandırmıştır. Sadece piyano eşlikli eserler değil, oda müziği alanında da çalışmalar yapan besteci, dönemin özelliklerini müziğine yansıtmıştır. Aynı zamanda kendine has melodik yapıları da eserlerinde kullanan besteci, klasik müzikte tanınan isimler arasında yerini almıştır. Bestecinin melodik üslubunu sergileyen en önemli örnekler arasında üç eser, Flüt ve Piyano için Sonat (1956-57), Klarnet ve Piyano için Sonat (1962) ve Obua ve Piyano için Sonat (1962) sayılabilir. Tek bir nefesli çalgı ve piyano, her üflemeli çalgının tamamen yeteneklerini gösterdiği ve şiirsel bir metnin yokluğu göz önüne alındığında, saf melodik çizginin ifadesi için mükemmeldir. Ayrıca bu eserler altı yıl içinde yazılmış olup, bestecinin en olgun tarzını temsil etmektedirler. Bu bağlamda yazdığı flüt ve piyano sonatı birçok öğrenci ve sanatçının repertuvarında yer alan gözde eserlerin başında gelmektedir. Anahtar Kelimeler: Çağdaş Dönem, Flüt sonatı, Francis Poulenc Abstract: Francis Poulenc, one of the names that comes to mind when it comes to contemporary music, enriched the repertoire of wind instruments. The composer, who not only works with piano accompaniment but also works in the field of chamber music, reflected the characteristics of the period to her music. At the same time, the composer, who uses his own melodic structures in his works, has taken his place among the well-known names in classical music.

  • Poulenc, Francis (1899-1963) by Mario Champagne
    Poulenc, Francis (1899-1963) by Mario Champagne Encyclopedia Copyright © 2015, glbtq, Inc. Entry Copyright © 2002, glbtq, Inc. Reprinted from http://www.glbtq.com Francis Poulenc with harpsichordist Wanda Landowska. One of the first openly gay composers, Francis Poulenc wrote concerti, chamber music, choral and vocal works, and operas. His diverse compositions are characterized by bright colors, strong rhythms, and novel harmonies. Although his early music is light, he ultimately became one of the most thoughtful composers of serious music in the twentieth century. Poulenc was born on January 7, 1899 into a well-off Parisian family. His father, a devout Roman Catholic, directed the pharmaceutical company that became Rhône-Poulenc; his mother, a free-thinker, was a talented amateur pianist. He began studying the piano at five and was following a promising path leading to admission to the Conservatoire that was cut short by the untimely death of his parents. Although he did not attend the Conservatoire he did study music and composition privately. At the death of his parents, Poulenc inherited Noizay, a country estate near his grandparents' home, which would be an important retreat for him as he gained fame. It was also the source of several men in his life, including his second lover, the bisexual Raymond Destouches, a chauffeur who was the dedicatee of the surrealistic opera Les mamelles de Tirésias (1944) and the World War II Resistance cantata La figure humaine (1943). From 1914 to 1917, Poulenc studied with the Spanish pianist Ricardo Viñes, through whom he met other musicians, especially Georges Auric, Erik Satie, and Manuel de Falla.

  • ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: COMPOSITIONS for FLUTE BY
    ABSTRACT Title of Dissertation: COMPOSITIONS FOR FLUTE BY AMERICAN STUDENTS OF NADIA BOULANGER Jessica Guinn Dunnavant, Doctor of Musical Arts, 2004 Dissertation directed by: Professor William Montgomery School of Music Throughout the twen tieth century, young American composers made a pilgrimage across the Atlantic Ocean to study their craft with Nadia Boulanger (1887- 1979). Many of them wrote substantial, interesting works for flute, and this dissertation focuses on performances of a selection of those compositions. Boulanger’s life is well documented, as is her reputation for helping her students find their own musical voices. In this project she serves as a lens through which three generations of American composers may be viewed. This to pic brings together a wide variety of flute music in almost every style imaginable. A selection of music to perform was made because the amount of music far exceeds the amount of available performance time. A list of Nadia Boulanger’s American students was primarily derived from the website nadiaboulanger.org and from composers listed in the two editions of the New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians. These lists are far from comprehensive and other notable flute composers have been added. The followin g is an alphabetical list of the works that were performed: Alexander’s Monody, Amlin’s Sonata , Bassett’s Illuminations, Berlinski’s Sonata , Carter’s Scrivo in Vento , Cooper’s Sonata , Copland’s Duo, Dahl’s Variations on a Swedish Folktune, Diamond’s Sonata , Erb’s Music for Mother Bear, Finney’s Two Ballades , Glass’s Serenade, Kraft’s A Single Voice , La Montaine’s Sonata , Lewis’s Monophony I, Mekeel’s The Shape of Silence , Piston’s Sonata , Pasatieri’s Sonata , Rorem’s Mountain Song, and Thomson’s Sonata .

Through a recording project and an accompanying document, I will introduce distinctive styles of Neoclassical violin music within three works: Stravinsky’s Duo concertante (1932), Prokofiev’s Violin Sonata No. 2 in D Major, Op. 94 bis (1943), and Poulenc’s Violin Sonata, Op. 119 (1942-1943). Through the performance and discussion, I explore ways to interpret these works in light of their Neoclassical elements.

The dissertation researched the development of this tradition from the pre-Baroque period through to the modern era and tried to determine the underlying factors that stimulated its development specifically in France. The first key was added to the flute in France and with this the Hotteteres created the blueprint for the modern flute of today. During the Classical period the conservative French retarded the development of the instrument and the repertoire for the flute by initially rejecting additional keys.
