Mouvements Perpétuels (Alfred Masterwork Edition)

Written when Poulenc was only 19 years old, this 3-movement piano work shows the simplicity and melodic gifts that were his trademark while also showing the influence of Erik Satie and Emmanuel Chabrier. They are written without key signatures and each moves through various keys in "perpetual" motion. There are historic notes and performance notes included.

great contemporary piece for the intermediate or early advance piano student although it does require nimble reach in some sections. It's tonally pleasant and not jarring at all.
