History

The sonata is the composer's second extant work of chamber music, after the Sonata for two clarinets. It was written between August and October 1922 at the same time as the Sonata for clarinet and bassoon,[2] and was premiered at the Théâtre des Champs-Élysées in Paris on 4 January 1923 at a Satie-Poulenc concert organized by Jean Wiener.[3] Poulenc revised the composition in 1945.[4][5]

Reception and legacy

Since its inception, reception has been favourable, especially that of Charles Koechlin which Poulenc reports in one of his letters, specifying: "... a beaucoup aimé ses 'fourbis', qu'il a trouvé très bien écrits. C'est là l'essentiel." (... loved very much his 'mess' which he found very well written. That is essential.)[2] Poulenc's biographer Henri Hell finds that the two pieces written the same year "acid and tender, well written for wind instruments, have all the quality of the Sonata for two clarinets and the contemporary Trois mouvements perpétuels".[6]

Structure and style

Like most of the composer's chamber music pieces, with the exception of the Cello Sonata, the sonata for horn, trumpet and trombone has three short movements:

1. Allegro moderato
2. Andante
3. Rondeau

The character of the music resembles a fair music, conforming to the spirit of Les Six.[3] Kathy Henkel described the first movement as a series of dance episodes, the second as a lullaby derived from motifs of the first movement, and the third as a rondo with more light-hearted dance music. She summarizes the piece's "variety of tone colors, striking rhythms, delicious dissonances, and elegant wit".[4]

[ru] Соната для валторны, трубы и тромбона

Соната для валторны, трубы и тромбона — одно из первых сочинений Франсиса Пуленка для камерного ансамбля, посвящённое композитором своей подруге детства Раймонде Линосье[1]. Написанное в 1922 году, это произведение завершает серию ранних маленьких сонат для духовых инструментов, включающих помимо неё сонату для двух кларнетов (1918) и сонату для кларнета и фагота (1922). Сам композитор относился к этим своим произведениям не слишком серьёзно, однажды даже заявив, что они были написаны им для развлечения. Однако в 1945 году Пуленк вновь вернулся к своей сонате для валторны, трубы и тромбона и переработал её, создав вторую редакцию[2].
