Let’s hope that he can continue his Paris adventure, if only for the wonderful bootlegs. 😉

Me neither until a Japanese pupil brought it to the lesson some weeks ago! It’s charming. Should explore the whole set of Improvisations.

I’m pretty sure I’ve heard this in a film, but couldn’t tell you which one 🙄 Thanks for playing and sharing it.

edit: yeah this was definitely in a film

Fuuuck ok I think I’ve got it. It was used in a 2017 coming-of-age love / homoerotic film that got a lot of attention and awards. I didn’t think it was so special as a film but I think it had the Poulenc.

Ok, didn’t know that. I can imagine that it could be used for a film like that. 😉

I like the painting! Who did that?

If you’re not familiar with Poulenc’s piano music I strongly advise looking in to Rogé’s Decca volumes incidentally. The first one in particular has lots of great music on it.

Obligatory reminder that for da Froggy music, da FEV is a very fine interpreter. Close friend of Poulenc and premiered the two piano concerto with him. Dedicatee of the fifth (I think) improvisation among other works.

This guy is amazing, astounding. I recognize the name very well, but I think I’ve only seen three or four of his paintings before.

Actually, for Poulenc’s piano music I prefer Gabriel Tacchino who seriously studied the music with the composer himself.  
I was pleased to discover that (without knowing it) my interp. of the Imp. was quite similar to his in terms of tempo. Many performances of it are far too slow.
