Influences on Poulenc: from top left clockwise, and Poulenc's principal works for large orchestra comprise two ballets, a and four keyboard concertos. The first of the ballets, was first performed in 1924 and remains one of his best-known works.
Nichols writes in Grove that the clear and tuneful score has no deep, or even shallow, symbolism, a fact 'accentuated by a tiny passage of mock- brass, complete with emotive '. The first two of the four concertos are in Poulenc's light-hearted vein.
The for harpsichord and orchestra (1927–28), evokes the countryside seen from a Parisian point of view: Nichols comments that the in the last movement bring to mind the bugles in the barracks of in the Paris suburbs. The (1932) is similarly a work intended purely to entertain. It draws on a variety of stylistic sources: the first movement ends in a manner reminiscent of, and the slow movement begins in a Mozartian style, which Poulenc gradually fills out with his own characteristic personal touches. The (1938) is in a much more serious vein.

The second ballet score, (1941), has never equalled the popularity of Les biches, though both Auric and Honegger praised the composer's harmonic flair and resourceful orchestration. Honegger wrote, 'The influences that have worked on him, Chabrier, Satie, Stravinsky, are now completely assimilated.
Listening to his music you think – it's Poulenc.' The Sinfonietta (1947) is a reversion to Poulenc's pre-war frivolity. He came to feel, 'I dressed too young for my age. it is a new version of Les biches but young girls biches that are forty-eight years old – that's horrible!' The (1949) initially caused some disappointment: many felt that it was not an advance on Poulenc's pre-war music, a view he came to share. The piece has been re-evaluated in more recent years, and in 1996 the writer Claire Delamarche rated it as the composer's finest concertante work.
