ATCL/ LTCL Programme Notes Help

[8i_love_piano8]

Hello, I'm wondering if you all have any suggestions on where to obtain information (websites/ books) for writing programme notes? I have a list of pieces here where little or no information can be obtain in my local library. Appreciate much for all your replies!

The list of pieces are:

Balakirev - Skylark
Poulenc - Intermezzo in A flat
Beethoven - Piano Sonata In C Op. 2 No. 3

I don't know if the requirements are the same, but the Associated Board has a "Guide to writing programme notes" (for diplomas). There's a link to it on this page.
