Proust); proposes a periodization of the chamber music of F. Poulenc; analyzes the features of the temporary organization in the chamber works of F. Poulenc at the stylistic, compositional and “macro-compositional” levels; determines the principles of the temporary organization and the priority of its particular level for each of the periods of the composer’s oeuvre.
