MOZART Quintet for Piano and Winds in E Flat, K. 452
POULENC Sextet for Piano and Winds
Written to inspire one of his wealthy employers to invest in a wind ensemble, Mozart’s charming 1784 quintet has all the elements allowing each instrument to shine bright in duets and trios, especially highlighting the piano, ending in a finale that awards each instrument a long cadenza. French composer Francis Poulenc composed his sextet 150 years after Mozart’s K452 but still quotes a Mozart sonata in the melodious second movement. Jazz was the big rage in France in the 1930s, inspiring Poulenc to make his whimsical sextet a juxtaposition of rickytick jazziness and near teary songfulness.
