During the visit to Brive-la-Gaillarde in 1940, Poulenc sketched a little piece for the children of his cousins: Sophie, Sylvie, Benoit, Florence and Delphine Périer, Yvan, Alain, Marie-Christine and Marguerite-Marie Villotte, and their two friends Marthe Bosredon and André Lecoeur. This took the form of a musical background to Jean de Brunhoff's popular illustrated children's story about Babar, a baby elephant whose mother is killed by a huntsman. Fortunately Babar meets a kind elderly lady who dresses him in a fine suit and gives him an impressive motor-car.However, Babar feels homesick for his forests, and is pleased when his cousins, Arthur and Celeste, find him and needs no persuasion to go home with them. Back in the forest, where the King of the Elephants has eaten a poisonous mushroom, Babar is elected to succeed as King. He marries Celeste, and the last we hear of him is thinking of a rosy future as he dreamily looks up at a marvellously star-filled sky.Poulenc's score, to which he returned and completed in 1945, is for a narrator and a Piano, so written that the individual sections offer the pianist a number of self-contained descriptive pieces, such as a Lullaby, a Reverie, a Galop, a Nocturne and so on. Indeed, some of Poulenc's finest Piano music is found in these charming pages.In 1962, Jean Françaix made an orchestral version, and Barbar has been enjoyed by children of all ages all over the world. An English translation of the text was made by Nelly Rieu.This particular edition is arranged for Narrator and Piano duet (1 Piano, 4 hands) and a separate insert with English translation is included. / Piano 4 Mains

This French composer and pianist was one of Les Six , a group of French composers who subscribed to the aesthetic ideals of Erik Satie. The spontaneity and lyricism of Poulenc's style are best adapted to small forms such as this terrific sonata for Piano Duet. / Piano 4 Mains

Lord Berners (1883-1950) was an eccentric and idiosyncratic British peer and composer. His Valses Bourgeoises (1918) were the only Piano Duets he wrote and were performed at the 1923 Salzburg Festival.The three movements are titled Valse Brillante Valse Caprice and Strauss Strauss et Straus. His wry humour shines through as he crafts what some people see as the final tribute to this great art form otherssee it as the last nail in the coffin. He incorporates quotes from Schumann Strauss Strauss and Straus and while changes in time signature and tempo make it impossible to dance to this suite is one of the most entertainingPiano Duets in the genre.
