Trois mouvements perpétuels, for piano, FP 14 (1918)
I. Assez modéré
II. Très modéré
III. Alerte
Gabriel Tacchino, piano
When not yet 20, Francis Poulenc (1899-1963) composed his Trois mouvements perpétuels for piano in 1918. Written under the twin influences of Ravel and Stravinsky, the Trois mouvements perpétuels are difficult works whose difficulties never intrude on the lyrical lightness of the music. The first mouvement, Assez modere, features a charmingly gallic melody moving through right and wrong keys in the right hand over a relentless ostinato in the left hand. The second mouvement, Très modere, features an ostinato for both hands that eventually parts ways with the left hand keeping the ostinato more or less intact and the right hand moving it across the keyboard. The second mouvement ends with a quirky yet delightful run up to the top of the keyboard. The third mouvement, Alerte, is the least perpétuel of the three, with hardly an ostinato to disturb its flow of melody. Like the second mouvement, the third ends with a quirky yet charming final cadence in what sounds like the wrong key. [Allmusic.com]

Does anyone know what standard this is roughly? (In grades) I need grade 8 for my Uni audition and I'm not sure if this is grade 8 standard.
