According to Grove Music, the only surviving part of this incidental music is the song "Les chemins de l'amour". All the rest of it is lost. Accordingly, it is tagged for both undetermined instrumentation, and voice/piano.
According to Lacombe's Poulenc (2013), premiered 30 November 1940 in Paris (performed 173 times until April 1941). Léocadia's performance instrumentally required violin, clarinet, bassoon, contrabass, piano. (Perhaps Grove is mistaken or Lacombe has done better research?)
