Piano Music by Francis Poulenc

It is widely accepted that after Debussy and Ravel, Poulenc's is the most significant body of French solo piano music of the 20th century. He combined the dadaesque qualities of Erik Satie with the deeper more serious expression of his composition teacher, Charles Koechlin, alongside his own formidable mastery as a pianist.

Performer, Charles Owen writes,"The numerous piano works that appear throughout Poulenc's life form a kind of musical diary or series of snapshots in which he was not afraid to wear his heart on his sleeve or display a penchant for ironic dinner music-making when select and much valued friends would gather around the piano to enjoy their host's skill as an improviser and mimic. Therefore, the majority of these vignettes are by turns effervescent, charming or tender, whilst skilfully avoiding the need to appear profound."
