From 1953 to 1956, Jean Perrin composed 5 major sonatas, successively for horn, violin, cello, and flute, all with piano accompaniment, as well as a sonata for piano.
The three movements of the horn sonata follow a slow-fast-slow pattern.
The work opens with an "adagio ma non troppo" with broad and sustained phrases.
With its rapid cut time meter, the second movement is scherzo-like in the bounciness of its articulation. The central section is even more animated.
The last movement - the most developed and the richest in variety of themes - starts with a sweeping and noble melody. The strong tension of the phrases gives it a particularly expressive tone.
Jean Perrin's music is often extended by bi-modality, and the three movements of the sonata center around the warm tonality of E flat or its dominant B flat (in the second movement), a wonderful key that well suits the horn.
