Francis Poulenc Flute Sonata

Sextuor for flute, oboe, clarinet, bassoon, French horn and piano (1931-1944) Late Works Sonata for flute and piano (1957) Elegie for French horn and piano (1957) Sonata for oboe and piano (1962) Sonata for clarinet and piano (1962) The dissertation is divided into six chapters. Details of Poulenc's early life and personality as well. Sonata Poulenc, F. This Sonata For Flute and Piano is a virtuosic flute solo by renowned influential French composer Francis Poulenc. Written in 1956-57, this is an elegant, dreamy chamber work and he has demonstrated his obvious compositional skill, also highlighting the French affinity with the sweet sounds of the flute. Francis Poulenc composed his Flute Sonata in 1957 and it is now perhaps the most widely played of all flute sonatas. It encompasses a wide range of moods, from a 'melancholic' first movement to a hauntingly beautiful Cantilena, and a playful and energetic Presto to finish.

Francis Poulenc (1899-1963) was a French composer and pianist who, along the other members of Les Six, sought to liberate French classical music from foreign influence. His deep Catholic faith inherited from his father and his mother’s artistic influence created a duality of sacred vs. profane that permeated many of his works. Musicologist and french music critic Claude Rostand once notoriously remarked, “In Poulenc, there is something of the monk and something of the rascal.”

Flute Sonata, FP 164 (Poulenc, Francis) This work is likely not in the public domain in the US (due to first publication with the required notice after 1925, plus renewal or 'restoration' under the GATT/TRIPS amendments), nor in the EU and those countries where the copyright term is life+70 years.

Poulenc studied piano with Ricardo Viñes from 1914-1917 during which time Viñes acted as piano teacher, spiritual mentor, performer of Poulenc’s early compositions, and connection with other musicians such as Auric, Satie, and Falla. 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 1948 and continued to return regularly through 1960.

The Sonata for Flute and Piano (1957) further solidified Poulenc’s connection with the United States. Poulenc dedicated the Sonata to the memory of Elizabeth Sprague Coolidge, and American chamber music patron. The Coolidge Foundation contacted Poulenc in 1956 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:

‘Jean-Pierre,’ said Poulenc: ‘you know you’ve always wanted me to write a sonata for flute and piano? Well, I’m going to,’ he said. ‘And the best thing is that the Americans will pay for it! I’ve been commissioned by the Coolidge Foundation to write a chamber piece in memory of Elizabeth Coolidge. I never knew her, so I think the piece is yours.’

Poulenc performed the work with Gareth Morris on January 16, 1958 in a broadcast on BBC, and the American premiere followed on February 14, 1958 in the Coolidge Auditorium at the Library of Congress.

Enjoy my favorite recording of this sonata: Emmanuel Pahud and Eric Le Sage

And as a bonus, a lovely recording of the Poulenc Sextet.

There is nothing extraordinary about this edition of the Poulenc Sonata but the printing is extremely clear. The layout of the last movement is different too using four pages rather than three and eliminating the page turn into the lento. You also get the charming Villanelle which sounds great on the piccolo. Value!

This beautifully presented new edition of the Poulenc Sonata is produced by the Japanese publishing house, Ongaku No Tomo Edition. Printed on good quality cream paper with well-propor-tioned Japanese design, this is one of the highest quality editions I have seen in terms of presentation and attention to detail.

The score comes with some helpful additional content, including detailed notes by editor Shigenori Kudo, who is one of Japan’s most esteemed flute soloists, as well as a fascinating extract from the manuscript, and photos from the evening of the premiere, supplied by the Rampal archive. There is also a capti-vating diagram, which looks a bit like a subway map, showing the journey of the piece, from the conception and commission from the Elizabeth Sprague Coolidge Foundation, through to the premiere, corrections and subsequent published editions.

The notes provide a fascinating story of how the piece evolved, and despite knowing the piece well for nearly years, I learned many new things which will undoubtedly help my understanding, performance and teaching of the work. It is known that Poulenc wanted revisions to be made to correct errors in the first edition; the revised edition of 1994 takes into account evidence from early manuscripts and aims to rectify some of the mistakes. This new edition aims to take this process a step further, and to ‘recreate the score in its definitive and authoritative version as intended by Poulenc himself ’. This is perhaps a lofty claim, but the scholarship is well presented and enables the performer to gain a new perspec-tive on the work. Like the 1994 Chester revision, this edition has used a range of sources, including using recordings of Poulenc himself performing the work to indicate which versions of the score he was using himself. It is excellent to see performance practice research being implemented in this way, and this edition makes a significant contribution to the knowledge of the work, as well as providing plenty of ideas for consideration and critical evaluation.

Suggestions for performance are also provided by Shigenori Kudo, which provide some useful contextual information and hints and tips. Additionally, the edition includes the short Villanelle, a charming short work for pipeau which was first published in 1934.
