In yesterday’s post, I mentioned Bach’s influence on contemporary composer, Arvo Pärt. The 20th century French composer, Francis Poulenc (1899-1963) was also influenced by J.S. Bach. His 1932 work for piano, Valse-improvisation sur le nom de BACH (FP62) is part of a larger, collaborative work entitled Hommage a J.S. Bach.
Hear Poulenc’s Valse-improvisation recorded by pianist, Pascal Rogé here.
