The launch of Les Six, a group of six French composers, initiated a new musical genre in France after World War I. The group disliked foggy impressionist music and maintained that music should contain the characteristics of simplicity, clarity and certainty. They breathed new life into music of France and ushered in a new atmosphere. 　　Darius Milhaud (1892-1974) was one of Les Six’s founding members. He was the most prolific and created the widest range of music genres of the members of the group. He could write music extremely fast anytime, anywhere. Even though he was on a journey, in a noisy environment or suffering some illnesses, Darius Milhaud still continued composing. He composed a variety of works for musical instruments. Among Darius Milhaud’s compositions were two pieces for oboe solo----Sonatine pour Hautbois et Piano,op.337, composed in 1954, and Concerto pour Hautbois et Orchestre, op.365, composed in 1957. 　　This thesis delves into the analysis of Darius Milhaud’s Sonatine pour Hautbois et Piano, op.337. The musical elements is simple but specific, and the piece centers around these elements partly or wholly in other voice parts with the music styles switching to modulation and retrograde. Via the research of Darius Milhaud’s life history and background, style of composition and analysis of music, the writer of the thesis, hopefully, can better comprehend the music piece and perfectly perform.
