ABSTRACT

CR: Over the course of our previous talks, I’ve arranged my questions chronologically for the most part, so as to give us a base to work from and find out how Poulenc the man and artist appeared at the start of his career and during its early development. We’re now in possession of this basic information. If you’re agreeable, I think it’d be good now to change tactics slightly, abandoning chronology and instead studying works from different periods of your maturity by genre.
