(Music Sales America). 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. Carefully edited by Carl Schmidt in 1994, this is an
authoritative edition that contains a detailed history and
comprehensive commentary of the editorial process in English,
French and German.
A unique record of Poulenc (1899-1963) who is considered the
greatest composer of melodies of his period, a period that opened
with the aftermath of the First World War and closed as recently as
1960. He set to music poetry by all the greatest French twentieth
century poets as well as others from earlier times. He wrote this
diary of songs as an answer to what he felt were the frequent
misinterpretations of his work. It describes the origins of each
song, comments on performances he heard and offers guidelines for
interpretation. The diary is filled out with explanatory notes, a
collection of unfamiliar photographs and the English translation to
the text written opposite the French original. It will appeal to
singers who include French song in his or her repertoire and also
to those who have an interest in music of this period. The
translator, Winifred Radford is also the singer who gave the first
performance in England of Poulenc's song cycle Fiancailles pour
rire in 1945. She was coached by Poulenc and Pierre Bernac with
whom she later translated The Interpretation of French Song and
Francis Poulenc - The Man and his Songs.
