I would like to come and bring you all the most beautiful surprises, you who give me so much, all the time. What joy these days in London have been. But . . . I will control myself, because my effusions know no limit. In one instant, in one gesture, you render everything clear, inevitable, evident: what a lesson! But . . . I am not going to explain to you what you know better than I. What I can tell you is that these performances, this concert have highlighted and put things in order. I will make fewer mistakes when trying to guide all my students toward your work. I couldn’t listen to your records of the Septet without hearing what life you have given to the rhythm. We remain ignorant of its essential character. On Sunday (June 6) I heard your concert from Lugano (??) which was broadcast everywhere. Have you definitively deleted the canon from the Scherzo à la Russe (???). I like it so much and regretted [not hearing it]. I haven’t seen the edition and hope [the omission of the canon] was . . . just something that happened during the broadcast. I still have so many things to tell you, but want these wishes to leave tonight. Fond wishes to you, and to Vera and yourself my deepest attachment. Thinking of Bob and my affection to Milène, Your N [P.S.] Do not forget the Webern [P.P.S.] Thank you again for London � Boulanger à Stravinsky *annotations par Stravinsky 36 rue Ballu Paris, IX 10 juin 1954 Dire que je ne serai pas, mon cher Ami, près de vous le 18.

Mais…je ne vais pas vous expliquer ce que vous savez mieux que moi. Ce que je puis vous dire c’est que ces répétitions, ce concert ont mis de l’ordre, et de la lumière. Je me tromperai moins en essayant de guider tous mes élèves à travers votre œuvre.

I don’t know what it means because . . . do you have an age . . . or are you always the same, or better yet, always new? This is only meant to bring you wishes full of affection, fondness, and gratitude. I still don’t know—never know. But with you it’s worse, because everything seems so small and useless. And yet I cannot stop myself from sending you this note that is absolutely filled with my affection. We’ve spoken at length with Nabokov this morning about The Rake. We have been dreaming of a truly homogeneous performance. For so long, the people have needed some perspective to help them see, and curiously, despite your recordings and all the directions you have given them, they continue to “interpret” rather than “to transmit.” But why rebel? It’s always been the same, and despite everything the great works survive. How I miss those beautiful days in Rome, to see you again was such a great happiness, you bring so much to those whom you meet, and as for me . . . I love you so much, Dear Igor, as much as I admire you. And now, enough declarations from such a young and beautiful woman . . . what a lack of restraint! Give Vera my best. I regret that her exhibit left before I was able to prove to her I had looked at it carefully. Best wishes to Bob, my tenderness to Milène, and my constant thoughts to you both. Fond wishes, Nadia B. [P.S.] Could you tell me if Alan Hovhaness has any talent, do you know him? � Boulanger à Stravinsky 11 juin 1955 Cher Igor, Bientôt votre anniversaire—je sais mal ce qu’il signifie, car…avez-vous un âge…ou êtes-vous toujours le même, toujours nouveau, au surplus. Ceci ne veut que vous porter des vœux plein d’affection, de tendresse, et de gratitude. Je ne sais pas écrire, jamais, mais à vous, c’est pire, car tout me parait si petit, et inutile. Et pourtant, je me puis m’empêcher de vous vous [sic] envoyer ce signe si chargé d’attachement. Avons parlé longuement des [sic] Rake’s ce matin avec Nabokov. Nous rêvons d’une exécution vraiment homogène. Pendant si longtemps, les gens ont besoin d’un éclairage qui les aide à voir—et chose curieuse, malgré vos disques et toutes les directives qu’ils donnent, on continue à « interpréter » au lieu de « transmettre ». Mais pourquoi se rebeller ? Il en est toujours de même, et les grandes œuvres survivent, malgré tout. Que je regrette ces beaux jours de Rome, vous revoir a été un si grand bonheur, vous apporte[z] tant à ceux qui vous approchent—et moi…Je vous aime tant, Cher Igor, autant que je vous admire. Allons, assez de déclarations—d’une si jeune et jolie femme…quel manque de retenue ! Dites à Vera toutes mes pensées. Mon regret d’avoir vu partir son exposition sans avoir pu prouver que je l’avais bien regardée. Mille choses à Bob, ma tendresse à Milène, à vous deux mes constantes pensées. Je vous embrasse.

Allow me to reassure you, however, that I was told a concert is no longer envisioned, but—it’s not the same thing. And we suffer all the more when we listen again to the Canticum, however poorly performed. What spiritual significance and technique in a work so beautiful, so important and inevitably still misunderstood. While my thoughts never leave your Father, I don’t dare write there [to Munich]—I don’t know what to say to him—I’m scared of words. You know that I love him as much as I admire and respect him. In the middle of the horror, of the disgrace into which we have plunged, your Father’s illness is a terrible catastrophe. Lovingly, and with a heart that belongs tenderly to you both, Nadia � Boulanger à Théodore Strawinsky 11 novembre 1956 Cher Théodore, Votre lettre me bouleverse et me touche—Votre confiance m’est douce—alors que mon anxiété est si proche de la votre [sic]. Laissez-moi un peu vous rassurer pourtant, que plus un concert ne doit être envisagé m’a été dit, mais—ce n’est pas la même chose. Et on souffre d’autant plus quand on réentend le Canticum, pourtant mal donné. Quelle signification spirituelle et technique dans cette œuvre si belle, si importante et forcément encore incomprise. N’ose écrire là-bas alors que ma pensée ne quitte pas votre Père—ne sais que lui dire—ai peur des mots. Vous savez que je l’aime autant que je l’admire et le respecte.

I tell myself this often. Not so long ago I wrote lots, and nothing came of it. If one could write in the moments lost or gained during a schedule crammed full of teaching and concerts, that would be the trick. I still haven’t developed the necessary concentration. Maybe one day? I'm not giving up on this. From the end of September, we’ll be coming to spend next summer in Europe. We have you to thank for all the emotions this stirs up in us. We are counting the days. We are looking forward to The Rake in New York, it will be a grand event for us. Until now we have only heard but a little snippet on the radio. Two songs sung by Schwarzkopf at a festival in Holland, conducted by Markevitch. We have waited too long. Jean is well.

We will then return to Paris on May 8. As for the small reception after Oedipus Rex, I cannot answer from here. We will need to talk about this again in Paris and see how everything looks then. Regarding The Rake, I do not know if, in the end, we will put it on in Paris in May. After what happened to poor Désormière, it seems doubtful. But you must have known about this sooner than I. Fond wishes. “See you soon,” I Str. � Stravinsky à Boulanger Mademoiselle Nadia Boulanger 36 rue Ballu Paris 9eme (France) 14 avril 1952 Chere Nadia, Ce dernier mot pour repondre a votre note du 9 avril. Nous quittons New York Lundi 28 Avril a 17 Heures par TWA Flight 922. Nous ferons une courte escale a l’aerodrome de Paris-Orly le Mardi 29 Avril vers 13 Heures [sic] 25 et continuons notre route avec le meme avion jusqu'à Geneve, pour y assister aux representations du Rake en francais les 2 et 4 Mai. Nous reviendrons ensuite a Paris le 8 Mai. Pour ce qui est d’une petite reception apres OEDIPUS REX je ne peux pas repondre d’ici. Il faut en reparler a Paris et voir comment tout se presente. A propos du Rake j’ignore si, finalement, on va le donner a Paris en Mai. Apres ce qui est arrive au pauvre Desormieres cela me parait douteux. Mais vous devez en savoir plus long que moi. Je vous embrasse. « A bientôt ».

Indeed, we’ve been without news from you for a long time, but, as you say nothing to me about yourself, being full of discretion, I will not ask you questions and will try to convince myself that everything is following its normal course. It depends on one question: am I right? Please respond. We are going to Europe once again this spring, at the end of March this time, because Vera will have (at the start of April) her first art show (Galleria Obelisco in Rome). Exciting news, isn’t it? To make this journey work I have arranged a few concerts. So, we fly from NY to Lisbon to conduct my first concert in Madrid (March 25), from there to Rome (April 6), then Baden-Baden (April 22), then Lugano (April 28) and Stuttgart (May 3) from where we go to Copenhagen to take this new SAS Danish airplane from there that as of today flies to Los Angeles (22 hours through the Arctic). Will we see one another somewhere in Europe? Please respond. Happy to have your kind remarks about my In Memoriam. I have already recorded it (Columbia), yes, just a few days before its premiere in concert (conducted by Bob Craft) in Dylan Thomas’s memory, this piece was played beside unforgettable works by Purcell, Gabrieli, Schütz, and Bach. Aldous Huxley also very graciously took part in this, paying homage to the great poet. I will conduct In Memoriam in Rome (probably Cuénod) with my Cantata (probably Laszlo and Cuénod); the second half of the program will be Oedipus Rex (probably Laszlo and Peter Pears). It would be too good so see you at this concert! Love, I Str. � Stravinsky à Boulanger Hollywood 14 novembre 1954 Carissima Nadia, Votre sympathique lettre m’a fait grand plaisir ; en effet, il y a longtemps qu’on est sans nouvelles de vous mais, comme vous ne me parlez rien de vous-même, plein de discretion je ne vous pose pas de questions et tache de me convaincre que tout suit son cours normal. Une question dependant : ai-je raison ? R.S.V.P. Nous allons de nouveau en Europe ce printemps, fin mars cette fois-ci, car Vera aura (debut avril) sa premiere exposition de tableaux (galleria Obelisco a Rome). Exciting news, n’est-ce pas ? Pour realiser ce voyage j’ai arrange qq concerts. Donc on vole de NY a Lisbonne pour diriger mon premier concert a Madrid (25 mars), de la a Rome (6 avril), puis Baden Baden [sic] (22 avril), puis Lugano (28 avril) et Stuttgart (3 mai) d’où en va a Copenhague pour y prendre ce nouvel avion danois SAS qui commence aujourd’hui meme ces vols a Los Angeles (22 heures par les regions arctiques). Se verra-t-on quelque part en Europe? R.S.V.P. Heureux d’avoir vos bonnes paroles sur mon In Memoriam. Je l’ai déjà enregistre (Columbia), oui, juste qq jours avant sa premiere dans un concert (dirige par Bob Craft) a la mémoire de Dylan Thomas, ou cette piece était jouee a cote des pages inoubliables de Purcell, Gabrielli , Schütz et Bach. Alduous Huxley y pris part tres gracieusement lui aussi rendant hommage au grand poete. Je vais diriger In Memoriam a Rome (probablement Cuenod) avec ma Cantate (probablement Laszlo et Cuenod); la seconde moitie du programme sera Oedipus Rex (probablement Laszlo et Peter Pears). Ce serait trop beau de vous voir a ce concert !
