Francis Poulenc's Sextuor (Sextet), FP 100, is a chamber music piece written for a standard wind quintet (flute, oboe, clarinet, bassoon, and French horn) and piano. Estimates about the time of its composition range from between 1931 and 1932[1] and 1932 alone.[2] It received its debut in 1933 but was later revised in 1939.[2] Performed in its entirety, the three-movement piece lasts approximately 18 minutes.[3]
