Florent Schmitt's Sonatine en Trio dates from 1935. It is not a pastiche of the eighteenth-century style, but seems if anything to owe more to folk-music. It is in four short movements.
Milhaud's Sonata was written in 1918, when the composer was twenty-six and was attached to the French Legation in Brazil. It is written in his earlier rather dissonant and poly-tonal style, and its four movements-Tranquille, Joyeux, Emporte, and Douloureux-express a varying succession of moods. It was performed at the I.S.C.M. Festival at Salzburg in 1922-the first year of this society's activities. Although Milhaud had already written five string quartets, two violin sonatas, and several works for violin and piano before 1918 this sonata is his first chamber work for wind .instruments.—HUMPHREY SEARLE
