Just a few minutes ago I was explaining to some young students the meaning of the expression "opening Pandora's box".
I recall being told that an early recording of this, supervised by Poulenc, had the E natural. But can find no evidence of this and have only been able to access recordings made after 1963 (when Poulenc died).
I prefer the E natural myself, but have played the E sharp (mainly to please a teacher, and when a snooty 2nd player sneered at me "it's E sharp, didn't you know that?" and I was too embarrassed to argue, because it IS an E sharp...
I'm only really concerned by it at the moment because I'm teaching this piece to some advanced students, one of whom is quite pedantic, and I am of course wanting to present as strong a case as possible for the E natural.
