Dating from 1937 and 1955 respectively, the "Sonata" and "Sonatina" are sprightly, fresh works in the French neo-classical vein with syncopated rhythms, ostinato passages and the mixture of the serene and the grotesque which are characteristic of the genre the 1936 "Trio for oboe, violin and piano" has all the insousiance of Poulenc. Coming from the composer's last period (1965), the oboe-harp-percussion trio has much of the spirit of her neo-classical works while having a different sound world, where each instrument searches for coloristic sound possibilities while still remaining very approachable.
