About "Trio pour piano, hautbois et basson, Op.43: Rondo (1926)" by Alexandre Gattet
Rondo bursts forth with cafĂ©-concert swagger: piano's oom-pah pulse, oboe's cheeky refrain, bassoon's dry commentary. Poulenc's 1926 trio ends in a whirl of Parisian wit, but listen for the sudden harmonic swervesâlittle stabs of irony that keep the charm from turning saccharine.
