About "Sonate pour hautbois et piano, Op. 185: Deploration (1962)" by Alexandre Gattet
In this second reading, Deploration's funeral march feels even more fragile. The oboe's lament curls inward, piano offering only sparse, tolling support. Poulenc strips away ornament until nothing remains but raw mourningâa late masterpiece of emotional economy, rendered here with aching clarity.
