The purpose of this study is to define the French sonatina of the twentieth century, to expose those works which are most suitable for concert performances, and to provide a resource for teachers and performers. Of the seventy-five scores available to the writer, five advanced-level piano sonatinas of the twentieth century were chosen as the best of those by French composers, in attractiveness and compositional craftsmanship: Maurice Ravel's Sonatine (1905), Maurice Emmanuel's Sonatine VII (1926), Noel Gallon's Sonatine (1931), Alexandre Tansman's Troiseme Sonatine (1933), and Jean-Michel Damase Sonatine (1991). The five works were analyzed, with a focus on compositional techniques used to create unity in the work.
