CHAPTER 7
MOTIVIC TREATMENT
Attachment
A prominent motive in the opera represents the woman's attachment to her ex-
lover. When the woman recalls a Sunday in Versailles, Poulenc provides a lush
instrumental accompaniment in F# minor to convey the woman's fondness for the past
(Example 23). The woman claims responsibility for seducing the man, insisting that she
pursued the relationship at a time when he avoided her.
Example 23. Rehearsal 26, lyrical motive in F# minor (Attachment)
. Andante moderato Inf.
