The pieces Poulenc found merely tolerable were all early works: "Trois mouvements perpétuels" dates from 1919, the Suite in C from 1920 and the Trois pièces from 1928. All consist of short sections, the longest being the "Hymne", the second of the three 1928 pieces, which lasts about four minutes. Of the two works their composer singled out for censure, "Napoli" (1925) is a three-movement portrait of Italy, and "Les Soirées de Nazelles" is described by the composer Geoffrey Bush as "the French equivalent of Elgar's "Enigma Variations"" – miniature character sketches of his friends. Despite Poulenc's scorn for the work, Bush judges it ingenious and witty. Among the piano music not mentioned, favourably or harshly, by Poulenc, the best known pieces include the two Novelettes (1927–28), the set of six miniatures for children, "Villageoises" (1933), a piano version of the seven-movement "Suite française" (1935), and "L'embarquement pour Cythère" for two pianos (1953).
