Il Etait Un Petit Navire : Satire Lyrique En Trois Actes - Piano reduction by The Composer.

With an introduction in English and French. Tailleferre began work on this opera in 1932, and it was premiered in 1951. The opera, on a libretto by Henri Jeanson, parodies both the genre of opera and the opera audience. The premiere contained many cuts. As such, the opera was not met with success. This edition reconstitutes the complete work from a variety of manuscripts.
