Subj: [kl] Poulenc Sextet for Winds and Piano
Date: Mon, 25 Nov 2002 23:59:57 -0500

To whom it may concern:

I am interested in receiving information on Francis Poulenc's Sextet for
winds and piano. Do you know of information on it? There are some specific
questions that I am trying to answer:

1. What inspired Poulenc to write the sextet?
2. Was the Sextet a nostalgic reference to Les Six?
3. Why stylistic characteristics did Poulenc use in this work?
4. Who was George Salles, the man whom Poulenc dedicated his Sextet?

Thank you!
