Notes
Nadia Boulanger made this orchestration after Lili Boulanger’s death, and it was premiered in 1921. Never published during Nadia Boulanger’s lifetime, it shows signs of being unfinished (dynamics, tempo markings). Compared with the manuscript of the original score, it reveals very substantial differences, particularly in the harmony. In addition, seventeen measures were cut. A revised and completed edition was prepared by Anthony Girard in 2025 at the request of Éditions Durand and the CNLB.
