Description

This is a softcover book. “In 1946, Poulenc wrote that ‘inspiration is such a mysterious thing that it is best not to explain it.’ Explain it or not, Poulenc reminded us that ‘my music is my portrait,’ and Dialogues is both his most substantial work and his most inspired creation. Tens of thousands have encountered his music through this opera, and many of them have been brought to tears by its emotionally wrenching last scene. … It is time that the complex history of this splendid opera, including the many documents surrounding it, be made available together.” -Dr. Carl B. Schmidt (“Preface”)
