The Music of Francis Poulenc (1899-1963): A Catalogue

Schmidt's catalogue of Poulenc's works represents the first comprehensive listing of his life's works. The book describes each work, finished and unfinished, lists and describes all known editions and manuscript copies, and provides detailed compositional histories, often based on unpublished letters and documents. The catalogue also identifies a number of unpublished works and adds a small group of compositions to Poulenc's canon for the first time.
