Awareness is an essential characteristic for musicians, especially in the performance.

The reader, trough the information enclosed in this research, can contextualize in a wider and more precise scenery the works of the composers previously discussed.

The collected acquaintance does not always lead to unconventional or innovative way of interpretation. Nevertheless, the performer should use this consciousness to present these works under a different light. Historical contextualization, aesthetic principles and compositional techniques allow us to enrich the mere music notation, and bring us closer to the musical idea of the composer. This informed approach to the performance is essential to achieve a faithful, varied and convincing execution.

Further studies could be done about the instruments itself, focusing on the sound and timbre that featured them at the time. This would help in creating an even more precise idea about what Poulenc, Auric and Milhaud tried to express with their music.
