Letteralmente significa "infarinatura"..in questo contesto pero' non saprei con esattezza...

Contesto:
"Both Poulenc and Milhaud would undoubtedly ended up as part of the formative Les Nouveaux Jeunes
had they not been military engaged or working as assistant to Paul Claudel in Rio, respectively.
Nevertheless, Milhaud was represented on a smattering of programmes presented at the Salle
Huyghens while working in Brazil, thus figuring as a member of the group in absentia. "

Grazie.
