Van Klaveren's sonata in the style of Poulenc is a welcomed addition to the saxophonist's repertoire, and it is full of the textures, colors, and whimsically-natured melodies that we associate with Francis Poulenc's writing. Van Klaveren's sonata reaches back in time to offer us a work from Francis Poulenc, who wrote sonatas and trios for nearly all of the woodwind instruments, yet did not write for the saxophone.

I. Allegro
II. Interlude
III. Rondeau à a française
