I still love this piece after first playing it 52 years ago! I was assigned it for my freshman recital and I remember thinking it was a pretty easy piece to play at first, until Dr. Robert Carter taught me how to play it properly. I was a sax/flute major, but was required (back then) to 'minor' in piano. I still play this piece for the pure enjoyment!
Yes! This is where I first heard it, I love that film. Hitchcock is brilliant at screenplay and this music is used brilliantly to heighten tension in Rope.
By far one of my most favorite pieces from Francis Poulenc. I really do enjoy his music. It's a shame that he's really not more popular today. Because he should be. This was one of my favorite first pieces to play when I was a kid. You had to get pretty good to be able to do it to this level. And there was a lot of fun trying, anyway. He was a good man, a wonderful artist and pianist.
Phillip: You don't think the party's a mistake? Brandon: No, it's the finishing touch to our work.It's more.It's the signature of the artists.Not having it would be like, uh... Phillip: Painting the picture and not hanging it? Brandon: That's not a good choice of words. Phillip: It may end up too choice, thanks to the party.
I love this work. I was thrilled when as a college student minoring in Piano, my teacher Mr. Fishbein knew that my love of jazz and my large hands which could span a 10th would be very happy learning to play these movements from Francis Poulenc!!!
A biography on Erik Satie brought me here. The biographer writes: The "unpretentious charm of Satie's Three Pieces in the Shape of a Pear was not lost on a younger generation...Franics Poulenc's Mouvements perpetuels are inconceivable without the example of the master."
I listened to this the first time before two years.. I remember that i did not like it that much.. but now it sounds really different to my more experianced ears.. very elegant piece.
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)
Can anyone suggest how to play the wide tenths in the final movement properly? My hand is not big enough to reach them, and rolling them just sounds wrong.
@@justinchang9660 I am classically trained. If the music and temper allows, you 'cross hands', right over left, and use the right to play the upper note of the left, while maintaining the melody of the right hand. If the music makes it possible.
I remember my piano teacher making me do 'stretching' exercises. She would literally take my hand, and 'stretch' the fingers away from each other to increase flexibility and reach. She told me to to do many times a day, and, it works if you persevere.
Could Hitchcock have picked a more perfect piece for Philip to play? It's composer was rich, aristocratic, homosexual, Catholic, and French (as opposed to German).
Roge is playing the later version of this piece. There are a couple of bits in the 3rd piece that are easier to play...the 4 bars at 3 mins and the right hand line at 3.45 is only the tops notes, no octaves...
Ravenshadow415 same boat, bless our hearts. The only thing you can do is arpeggiate and slow practice. Luckily playing them like grace notes (arpeggiating) works with the style here, unlike other songs that we may never be able to play *cough cough Gershwin's second prelude cough*
@@RajalaRime *nods sagely* It's like that one chord in the last bars of Prokofiev's March from "The Love for Three Oranges": you'd need Rachmaninov's hands to span it, so it's either leave out a note or roll it. Scriabin had small hands too, so he would've been no stranger to such challenges - especially if he'd lived longer. Frigging streptococcus infected pimple... of all the ways to go…
Pascal Rogé is a French pianist. This particular album, entitled Poulenc: Complete Music for Solo Piano, Vol. 1, won the Gramophone Classical Music Award, for Instrumental, in 1988. I was able to find the CD, used (but in pristine condition), on Amazon, a while back. Absolutely beautiful work, in a pristine recording, and wonderfully interpreted by Rogé. Worth purchasing!

The introduction was used in Hitchcock's film "Rope" (1948) to good effect. That is how I first heard this piece.
He plays almost of all of it in bits and pieces.
Yes! This is where I first heard it, I love that film. Hitchcock is brilliant at screenplay and this music is used brilliantly to heighten tension in Rope.
Same here, exactly
so did I - great piece of music. I love French impressionist music anyway, Ravel and Debussey obvious favourites
Merci millefois! was driving me crazy trying to remember where I heard it before. It's enchanting ❤
How in the name of God has this got 22 dislikes?! I can’t imagine anything more charming and innovative than this cycle
Poulenc's music is amazing!! Beautiful melodies and much originality!! Bravo!!

agreed. such a shame ^
I love this work so much

'These hands will bring you great fame'
How sad that the first movement is so short - I could listen to it for hours at a time. My first piano teacher played it beautifully.
I felt the same way, when I learned this beautiful piece, many years ago. It's short, but very sweet.
I think that's the point, you can repeat as many times as you want, but I'm not sure.
@@javiertw89 I'm sure you're right. "Mouvements Perpétuels" are about perpetual motion. Keep playing until you're tired, and then go to the coda.
@@webrarian Dangerous, since I love it so much I might never stop
I love playing this piece it really is “always moving”
One of his finest sets of pieces, each of the three movements perfect
I love this work. I was thrilled when as a college student minoring in Piano, my teacher Mr. Fishbein knew that my love of jazz and my large hands which could span a 10th would be very happy learning to play these movements from Francis Poulenc!!!
This piece is so beautiful ❤ I have no further words to type.
I played this at one of my recitals and have been looking for it for years - how fun to hear it now. Thank you for posting Poulenc!
A biography on Erik Satie brought me here. The biographer writes: The "unpretentious charm of Satie's Three Pieces in the Shape of a Pear was not lost on a younger generation...Franics Poulenc's Mouvements perpetuels are inconceivable without the example of the master."
the most French music ever ♥
I listened to this the first time before two years.. I remember that i did not like it that much.. but now it sounds really different to my more experianced ears.. very elegant piece.
the 3rd one makes me want to float away into a garden with greek ruins crying tears of joy
Our house use to ring with this in the 1990s when my son was learning to play these lovely little pieces.
The very end of the second movement is just fabulous. Poulenc had a great sense of musical humor.
Great work, full of innocence. Thanks!
That first movement ( as heard in Rope ) just sounds so creepy and haunted. Love it
"You're quite a good chicken strangler if I recall, Phillip."
oh no it's Rope!
Yes it was Farley Granger before Rupert Cadell by the legend Jimmy Stewart show up.
Kate D g
One of the best examples of Polymodality in the first movement. Great Bb major in the left and Bb minor in the right.
Blake Sorenson how do you know?
I would say it’s Bb major in the left and Gb major in the right, due to the Cb
Ethan Blackburn thanks
@@ethanblackburn5817 its Bb phrygian in the right
pardaq24 No, I disagree. The way the phrase is structured lends itself to Gb major.
Gorgeous.
incredibly beautiful
Wish Keith Emerson could have got his hands on this. He'd have made a really great job of it to my mind.
I cant wait to get this piece and start practicing!
Quel compositeur !
That first piece is so pastorale I love it
Hitchcock's ROPE brought me here
I always wondered what piece Philip( Farley Granger) was playing in that scene with Rupert (Jimmy Stewart).
Me tooo
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)
Very true.
Bravo, Francis !
, and to Pascal, as well, for the wonderful interpretation :-)
"The Forsyte Saga" brought me here. Beautiful playing made me stay.
That third movement is awesome
I'm gonna play this at my recital.
Good luck! Hope it sounds great!
+Evan Ottervanger Thanks!! :)
It is a foolish man who disregards Poulenc.
absolute banger
Third movement sounds a lot like Ravel's "Rigaudon" from "Le tombeau du Couperin"
Yeah true.....bit more serenity in Poulenc though....
Huge Satie influence here
Your touch has improved, Brandon.
I Love Alfred Hitchcock 🐐😍 Rope Brought Me Here
I've always assumed Hitchcock incorporated this particular music to enforce to the gay subtext.
These tenths are killing me
i KNOWWWWWW xD
To my surprise this was actually easier to play than what it sounds like, but there's no way i can play those tenths lol
Can anyone suggest how to play the wide tenths in the final movement properly? My hand is not big enough to reach them, and rolling them just sounds wrong.
Sorry there's nothing else you can do other than rolling :(
Just play the top notes if you don’t want to roll
@@justinchang9660 I am classically trained. If the music and temper allows, you 'cross hands', right over left, and use the right to play the upper note of the left, while maintaining the melody of the right hand. If the music makes it possible.

The ending of the second movement is so funny
@Peter the Sarcastic Rabitt you're creative.
@Peter Rabbit Yes, or that moment when your jam pie filling splurges out of a decorative topping hole.
Anyone else recognise the first movement as the piece used as his signature tune by pianist Clive Lithgoe in his occasional radio performances?
This is nice music
Very suave
¡Amo esto!
thanks

hE said yOu could HAVE IT
I hope I didn't upset you Philip.

Nice
2:56 - 3:18
Does the first movement make anybody else think of a Frenchman riding a bicycle?
I am playing this but I can't hit a tenth help D:
Thanks for the advice! But, I am talking about the third movement

I plan to study them, do you think the third one is difficult?
