Reviews
Now we have the most complete reference source yet on the music, Carl B. Schmidt's catalogue. This monumental study provides Poulenc performers and scholars with a wealth of information about every known composition (complete or incomplete, published or unpublished) ... Schmidt has made a monumental contribution to Poulenc studies, especially because the volume is so much more than a catalogue of works. In addition, the author's scholarship is so thorough that it takes the most careful investigation to uncover even a minor error. My music is my portrait!, Poulenc stated, and Schmidt has lovingly interpreted that portrait in this work, one likely to remain definitive for many years to come. George Keck, Ouachita Baptist University, Notes, March 1997
