Francis Poulenc - Improvisation No. 15 [With score]

[@gljm]

I love Poulenc, and with this he gives us the very essence of Piaf distilled into a few measures.

Très beau!🙂

[@bethanywakim6175]

Excellent voicing, expressive playing. The rising four-note motif is familiar… I think he used it in the slow movement of the clarinet concerto?

[@jeanluctherrienpiano]

Thanks. And yes you're right - same as the slow movement of the clarinet sonata!

[@owagoo]

@@jeanluctherrienpiano that, and it also likely sounds familiar due to its striking similarity to the main chorus in Scriabin's second impromptu

[@tomyamartino]

Beautiful.

軽やかでステキな演奏ですね😄
趣味でピアノを弾いている者です。プーランクの即興曲は、先日まで12番を弾いていました。今はこの曲を練習しています。この演奏を聴いて参考にさせていただきますね😊日本語でも通じるのかな、、、。

はい、わかりました。 ありがとう！

a whisper from the 'higher emotional center'.......perhaps to lyrically becalm the habitual and fragmented overthinking of the 'intellectual center.'....?

[@Abis-f3p]

Elioelioelioelioelio...

Hard to see what this gorgeous & super elegant impromptu has to do with the coarse Piaf.
