Re: Poulenc Sonata Errata

I cannot speak to a definitive, hand written edition by Poulenc, but my music doesn't have any trill there. Nor can I really recount ever hearing one in performance. Musically Poulenc was pretty good with creating tension throughout the work (loud/soft, fast/slow, the schizophrenia of the first movement), so I would think having any clarinet sound before the final measure would take away from that punchy moment.

If you're performing it, don't trill. If you're researching a definitive dissertation, wait for a more scholarly response. :-)
