Francis Poulenc - Novelettes

[@Djembe908]

What I'm hearing? I hear baroque,classic, romantic, the rouring twenties, ragtime, the blues, jazz, popmusic, modern music........simply: Viva Francis Poulenc!!!!!

[@robertatrovato9260]

To W. Djembe: yes! :-]

[@stephane9261]

Génie...

[@martinlee5604]

Very good point. I hear a fusion of so many eras and styles when I listen to (and play) this adorable piece.

[@Mr.SLovesTheSacredHeartofJesus]

I truly admire and love Francis Poulenc. Both for this music and his life.

[@MegaCirse]

The totality of the nuances of this sound architecture is like a flight in the Sublime, it is one of the most divine and evocative music I have ever listened to so far. It's played with a feeling of tremendous inner power. A delightful listening experience !

[@stephane9261]

Magnifique surtout le dernier en Emin .Très mélancolique. Les harmonies sont à tomber ...

[@theresaheidel9878]

That last chord of the last movement..

[@GyourgeTube]

some of the Neoclassical stuff is so so great! I love how kind of controlled and "correct" it is, but with such looovverrrllyyyyyy extended chords and dissonance that you don't quite get with Haydn and Mozart. Absolutely the best of both, which is of course what was intended

[@ToumalRakesh]

+George Day Absolutely spot on :) A big helping of romantic and a sprinkle of jazz.

[@jksteven1]

This piece is wonderful! French piano music at its most captivating! Thanks for this uplifting experience. I love it.

[@RoofLight00]

I've been looking for movement 1 for a long time, such beautiful and melancholy phrasing. Clearly Poulenc was as talented as the likes of Debussy and Ravel, shame he never gets the same recognition.

Beautiful music and performance.

[@Luca-gj9xn]

You are very good and Poulenc is really brilliant. My choir sang "Les Tisserands" in quarantine style. Write this in the search: you will love it for sure! Corale Novarmonia - Les Tisserands (F. Poulenc)

[@stephane9261]

Quelles belles harmonies ! J ai une préférence pour la 3 ème .J adore Poulenc qui est un digne héritier de saint saens et Debussy

[@alanmessenger9397]

Beautiful; hard to fathom how 10 people have given this a thumbs down. They are outnumbered.

[@walshamite]

Philistines!

[@Melchiorblade7]

Poulenc channeling his Prokofiev with the b flat minor ;)

[@mariolongo7369]

Meraviglioso Poulenc!

[@jeshminedadi]

beautiful...

[@patrickwang1957]

Cool, I play the first one only, although I want to try out the second and the third too.

[@DawnFallon]

Lovely and rhythmic! I think that's how it should be :)

[@geuros]

I think you're right.

[@walshamite]

Beautifully and sensitively played, though quite different from Poulenc's own more rapidly timed rendition, also on the 'tube.

[@TheMaracuya9]

te amo tantoPoulenc!!!!!

[@will0795]

Beautiful...anybody else hear the Beatles' Mother Nature's Son in Part I? I'm serious!!

[@jamisondavid100]

+Dwbossa I think a lot of musicians plundered Poulenc and Prokofiev for melodies..because they were two incredible melodists. But, borrowings can be kitschy and otherwise. I think I hear references to Proko's "Scythian Suite" in the Star Trek original TV series... and check out Poulenc's "Valse" to see if it reminds you of the "To Kill A Mockingbird" theme.

[@Feliploids1]

Magnificant

[@odedfried-gaon2880]

Beautiful! #OdedFriedGaon #OdedMusic #Audioded

[@gorgelagon8303]

Nice

[@Jeannekm126]

Love this piece! What's the name of the picture of the video.

[@Multipeach1104]

The first two pieces are used to exam for diploma.

[@muimuiyan]

:) thanks

[@Fantosofthelight]

I know the 1st movement is Grade 8 standard, but I don't know anything beyond that.

[@hanssollo]

Amazing, thx! :)

[@justinzhang2832]

The second one is slightly hard to memorize. To play it properly you are going to need some stretchy hands. The hardest part is all the dynamics and articulation. :(

[@kjkfighting]

may i ask who played this?

[@BlueBat101]

[@miguelangeldelorenzi5317]

Does anyone knows the name of that beautiful painting?

[@BlueEyeBluegrass]

+Miguel Ángel DELORENZI "La Place Valhubert" by Armand Guillaumin

[@stellamccartney8823]

Can these pieces played like a modern piece?

[@bonnieso7496]

For (3), did you use pedal ? If yes, how please?

[@filipeaffonsov]

Is there any way someone could send me the sheet music?

[@cherrystraws]

Does anyone know how difficult these are to play?

[@theresaheidel9878]

a bit difficult for small hands...I know..I find it hard to stretch for some of the bigger chords..

[@marianpoole4664]

I actually feel No 1 is played too fast - it gains a sensitivity if allowed to breath

[@willrothfuss8470]

+Marian Poole Agree

[@walshamite]

In fact, Poulenc's own rendering, also here on KZbin, seems breathtakingly fast by comparison.
