[+] Rosenstiel, Leonie. The Life and Works of Lili Boulanger. Rutherford, N.J.: Fairleigh Dickinson University Press, 1978.

The second half of this book focuses on the works of Lili Boulanger and provides detailed stylistic analyses of individual compositions. Within these stylistic analyses, a number of quotations from works by other composers are identified. In several cases, Rosenstiel discusses why these quotations may have been used. Examples of other composers borrowing compositional gestures from Boulanger are also pointed out.

Works: Boulanger: Nocturne (139), Le Retour (154), Pour les Funérailles d'un Soldat (156), Clairières dans le Ciel (172, 189), Dans l'Immense Tristesse (191); Fauré: "Diane" from Horizon chimérique (175); Honegger: Le Roi David (191); Ravel: La Valse (195), Concerto for the Left Hand (195).
