The Fêtes galantes of Debussy, the Histoires naturelles of Ravel, and the Mirages of Fauré tell a different story in the decades following 1900, offering a glimpse of that future moment when the art of the mélodie would no longer mean the same thing to French poets, composers, and audiences. This chapter speculates about the waning of the mélodie as a significant cultural expression in the 20th century, while considering the changing cultural value of “sincerity” in the same period.
