Description
Composed in the 20th century, Francis Poulenc's Piano Sonata for Four Hands is a significant piece for piano duets. Its musical characteristics are represented in a unique way, as if it were an archive of its own. A piece of music where the composer paid close attention to every detail, even choreographing the posture and movement of the performers, which distinguished this piece from other piano four-hands compositions. The objective of this research is to provide a comprehensive analysis of the distinctive features of this sonata, along with the characteristics that are commonly found in piano duets prior to this composition.
