Many of Francis Poulenc's songs are verses by 20th-century French poets
set to music, and this diary is an answer to what the composer felt were
frequent misinterpretations of his work. To set the record straight,
Poulenc describes the origins of each song, comments on performances,
offers guidelines for interpretation of his work, and discusses his
methods for arranging vocal music. In this new edition of the diary,
the original French text and the English translation appear on facing
pages, and a bibliography, a discography, and extensive notes are
included.
