Oeuvres de Germaine Tailleferre : du motif à la forme

""Germaine Tailleferre (1892-1983) is best known as the only woman in the "Groupe des Six". This thesis purports to shed greater light on her work, hitherto largely unknown, as well as to present biographical information and a catalogue of compositions." --"@en
""Musical analysis of these pieces reveals the "organic cohesion" in Tailleferre's work, which consists of an intrinsic relation between motive and form." --"@en
""The analytical study intends to demonstrate expertise, which lay in the use of the "motive" as a generative component of form. In order to demonstrate the latter concept, an analytical model has been developed comprising three methods of analysis: motivic, reductive and formal. Three pieces of different genres and styles representative of Tailleferre's work have been analyzed using this analytical model: (1) Quatuor a cordes (1917-1919); (2) it Image (1918); (3) Cantate du Narcisse (1938)." --"@en
