''Trois novelettes'' (''Three novelettes'') are three short pieces for piano composed by Francis Poulenc. The first two novelettes, in C major and B-flat minor, written in 1927 and 1928 respectively, were originally published together. The third, in E minor, was written in 1959. These novelettes demonstrate multi-layered piano writing. *Novelette in C major (1927) is dedicated to Virginie Liénard, a family friend, also the dedicatee of Poulenc's piano suite ''Les soirées de Nazelles'' (1930–36). The piece features a neo-classical song-like melody interrupted by a central contrasting section. *Novelette in B-flat minor (1928) is similar in ways to a scherzo. It is dedicated to Poulenc's friend and critic Louis Laloy. *Novelette in E minor (1959) is based on Manuel de Falla's 7/8 theme from ''El amor brujo'' (1916), simplified by Poulenc into 3/8 time, and without a contrasting section. It employs fluid arpeggio figures. This piece is dedicated to Poulenc's close friend R. Douglas Gibson. Poulenc premiered his first two novelettes at a concert in Paris on 10 June 1928. ==References== Sachania, M. & Potter, C.
