Summary/Abstract: Both sound worlds – Martinů’s and Poulenc’s – were ahead of their time, both sonatas are created by adult composers, with an already well-developed, specific language. The thematic diversity, the range of structures and sound textures give the performer the opportunity to propose a wide palette of suggestions, feelings, and musical colors. The common expressive ideas to be exploited, in order of dominance are: vivacity (restlessness), the lyrical, dance, and sarcasm.
