Poulenc belonged to a group of composers called 'Les Six'. Their intention was to create a new style of music that turned away from Wagneriansm and Impressionism. For Poulenc especially, one can say that his music can be categorised into Dada to some extend. If you listen to his music carefully, you won't find the traditional theme-anti theme pattern but rather an organic flow of ideas, somehow resembling Sibelius' way of composing.
