He spoke to me quite frankly about it and I told him all our thoughts on the subject. I would like to share a few words with you regarding it as well. My husband and I are not very sympathetic toward the idea of a marriage to someone from outside our race and religion, a marriage which above all else seems very much premature to us, seeing as Sviétik is still practically a child. Nor can we forget that he is preparing himself for a career as a pianist, which particularly complicates his case. Indeed, this field requires a great deal of travel and a lifestyle that, in our opinion, at least at the beginning of artistic life, does not lend itself well to starting a family (children are always to be expected). Moreover, one must remember that he still depends on us entirely, that he is only a student of music and that he is not yet an established artist, earning his own living. For two years now, Sviétik has lived most of his life away from his family, and under these conditions it has been difficult for us to exert an influence over him. It seems to us, dear friend, that you are the best placed to help us with our difficulties. Permit us to believe you do not think harshly of us for troubling you with our concerns. As for the sentimental side of this affair, and without wanting to rush anything, we beg you to support our point of view around Sviétik so that he sees, among all those who matter to him, a uniform opinion on the questions that are tormenting him. I say this to you freely, because it seems to us Sviétik is inclined to believe that you welcome favorably the idea of this union so desired by him. As for us, we do not want Sviétik tied up by promises that perhaps shouldn’t be fulfilled. I have suggested (and this so as to not sadden him entirely) that he wait at least a year to return to the overall question of marriage. I think that you share our views, which is why we have addressed this in all frankness and in an appeal to your good friendship and would like to count firmly on your support and it is in this hope that I extend to you, dear Mademoiselle, my best wishes, Catherine Stravinsky [P.S.] Please do forgive this slightly confusing letter, but having been extremely busy these last few days I did not have time to put everything in order in this hurriedly written letter because I would like for you to read it before Sviétik’s arrival � Catherine Stravinsky à Boulanger Nice le 8 avril 1931 Chère Mademoiselle, Permettez-moi de vous écrire ces lignes au sujet d’une question concernant Sviétik qui me préocupe [sic] beaucoup. Il m’en a parlé très franchement et je lui ai dit tout ce que nous en pensons. Je voudrais vous en dire aussi quelques mots. Mon mari et moi nous ne sympathisons pas beaucoup à l’idée d’un mariage avec une étrangère de race et de religion, mariage qui avant tout nous semble vraiment trop prématuré, vu que Sviétik est encore lui-même, un demi-enfant. Il ne faut pas oublier non plus qu’il se prépare pour une carrière de pianiste ce qui complique particulièrement son cas. En effet, ce métier demande une vie mouvementée, des voyages, vie qui à notre avis, ou plustôt [sic] début de vie artistique, ne se conforme pas très bien à un début de vie de famille (des enfants sont toujours à prévoir). D’autre part il faut savoir qu’il dépend encore entièrement de nous, qu’il n’est qu’étudiant en musique et qu’il n’est pas encore un artiste achevé, gagnant sa vie lui-même. Depuis deux ans Sviétik vit la plupart de l’année hors de sa famille et il nous est très difficile d’exercer sur lui dans ces conditions une influence suivie. Vous, chère amie, vous êtes, il nous semble, le mieux placée pour nous venir en aide dans nos difficultés. Permettez-nous de croire que vous ne nous figuerez [sic] pas trop sévèrement de vous embarrasser [sic] par nos préoccupations. Tout en ménageant le côté sentimental de l’affaire et sans vouloir rien brusquer, nous vous prions de soutenir auprès de Sviétik notre point de vue pour qu’il voie chez tous ceux qui comptent pour lui une conformité d’opinion sur les questions qui le tourmentent. Je me permets de vous le dire car il nous semble que Sviétik est enclin à croire que vous accueillez favorablement l’idée de cette union si désirée par lui. Quant à nous nous ne voulons pas que Sviétik se lie par des promesses qui ne devront peut-être pas se réaliser. Je lui ai dit (et ce pour ne pas l’atrisser [sic] entre mesure) qu’il attende un an au moins pour revenir en général sur la question mariage. Je pense que vous partagez nos idées, c’est pourquoi nous vous adressons en toute franchise à votre bonne amitié et voudrions compter fermement sur votre appui et c’est dans cet espoir que je vous prie de trouver ici chère Mademoiselle l’expression de mes sentiments bien cordialement dévoués, Catherine Stravinsky Excusez, je vous prie, cette lettre un peu confuse mais étant très prise tous ces jours-ci je n’ai pas le temps de mettre de l’ordre dans cette lettre écrite à la hâte car je voudrais que vous la lisiez avant l’arrivée de Sviétik. � 1931 Author: Catherine Stravinsky Recipient: Nadia Boulanger Soulima Stravinsky Sviétik https://digex.lib.uoguelph.ca/files/original/895679165078fc2c0478e0b25d9aa26c.pdf dc055677ae96efb26e2fceee21b448c7 https://digex.lib.uoguelph.ca/files/original/6f56abc54298cd0df7aa2cdfaf942024.pdf 65d396258449d9539728be41630662fb Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

We are very grateful to you for having honestly shared your feelings and your point of view with us. Unfortunately, it differs significantly from our own, but as you have given us your promise that, in appearance, you will support us, we are firmly counting on you. Besides, the attitude to take right now concerning young people is to interfere in no way in their relationships. The young woman will return to America soon; one need neither try to make her return, nor oppose it, but as for the future, leave it all up to the will of God, because it is not up to us to unite or separate them. It is only important that Nini does not extend any formal promises, that is all. I hope that everything is now clear between us. I have not yet thanked you for having thought of us (Nini’s performance). Your telegram was a great joy for us all. Sviétik wrote to me that he will defer his exams until next year. So much the better! We approve of it entirely. It was an effort well beyond his abilities as he now understands. I will finish this letter by thanking you very sincerely for all the interest you have shown our son and for your kind friendship toward us. Believe that I am, dear Friend, your cordially devoted, C. Stravinsky � Catherine Stravinsky à Boulanger Nice le 7 mai 1931 Chère Amie, Merci beaucoup de votre lettre si sincère qui nous rassure. Nous vous sommes très reconnaissants de nous avoir exposé en toute franchise vos sentiments et votre point de vue ; il diffère malheureusement sensiblement de nôtre [sic] mais comme vous nous donnez la promesse de nous soutenir quoiqu’en apparence nous comptons fermement sur vous. Du reste l’attitude à prendre maintenant vis-à-vis des jeunes gens est de n’intervenir d’aucune façon dans leurs rapports. La jeune fille retournera bientôt en Amérique; il ne faut ni tâcher de la faire revenir, ni s’y opposer, mais laisser tout à la volonté de Dieu quant à l’avenir, car ce n’est pas à nous de les unir ou de les séparer. Il importe seulement que Nini ne se lie pas de promesse formelle, voilà tout. J’espère que tout est clair entre nous maintenant. Je ne vous ai pas encore remerciée d’avoir pensé à nous (l’audition de Nini). Votre télégramme nous a fait à tous grand plaisir. Sviétik m’écrit qu’il remet ses examens à l’année prochaine. Tant mieux ? Nous l’approuvons entièrement. C’était un effort vraiment audissus [sic] de ses forces comme il l’a compris maintenant. Je finis ma lettre et vous remercie bien sincèrement de tout l’interêt [sic] que vous portez à notre fils et de votre bonne amitié envers nous.

Mother and I thank you with all our hearts. We were able to exchange telegrams with our travelers Easter Sunday and I also received three letters. Now we need to wait for their arrival in Rio, from where they will write to me. So far the sea is very calm and their trip has been enjoyable and very restful. I am sure this long crossing will be good for the two of them. I hope these two months will go by very quickly for them and maybe for me as well, and that God will grant me progress in my recuperation, so that I will be refreshed for the arrival of my husband and for Théodore’s wedding. I don't know if Nini will come back with his father or he will stay for his own concerts. I hope, dear friend, that the calm of your country house has been a great rest for you, which you certainly need. Thinking affectionately of you, Your C.

Maintenant, il faut attendre leur arrivée a [sic] Rio d’où ils m’écriront. Jusqu’à présent la mer est très calme et leur voyage agréable et très reposant. Je suis sûre que cette longue traversée leur fera à tous les deux beaucoup de bien. J’espère que ces deux mois passeront très vite pour eux et peut-être pour moi aussi et que Dieu me donnera de faire encore des progrès dans mon rétablissement, que je pourrai de nouveau venir pour l’arrivée de mon mari et pour la noce de Théodore. Je ne sais pas si Nini rentera avec son père ou s’il restera encore pour ses concerts personnels.

I would ask you to look at these proofs at your first available opportunity and to return them to me as soon as will be possible for you. This urgency is caused by the fact that the first edition of the score has been sold out to the last copy for quite some time, and we have been forced to refuse requests for this work, which is most unpleasant for both the composer and the editor. The new printing is therefore very urgent, especially because we must give several performances of the Symphonie during the first months of this upcoming season. In the hopes that you will understand this S.O.S. call and thanking you in advance, please accept my most respectful sentiments, Madame. Sincerely, G.

Je me permets de vous prier de regarder ces épreuves à votre premier moment libre et de me les renvoyer aussi vite que ce sera possible pour vous.

Le nouveau tirage presse donc beaucoup d’autant plus que nous devons avoir beaucoup d’exécutions de cette Symphonie pendant les premiers mois de cette saison.

As for the first two questions of your letter—(1) indication of the Psalm numbers and (2) the use of men’s and children’s voices, and in their absence, women’s voices in the composition—it is completely essential to include this in the piano/vocal reduction. For the rest, if I remember, I’ve already spoken to Païchadze about the matter. But my memory fails me to such a point [I have even forgotten what my Symphonie de psaumes is called] that I can’t seem to remember anything anymore! It’s becoming terrible. Please believe in my loyal friendship and my infinite thanks, Your Igor Strawinsky � Stravinsky à Boulanger Isère La Virronière Voreppe Les Maisonettes Hanneucourt By Gargenville (S&O) PTH 28 le 12 septembre 1931 Trés [sic] chère amie, Merci de tout cœur pour la peine que vous y prenez et excusez-moi magnanimement la hâte de mes réponses. Ci-joint les pages bleues avec mes réponses à côté de vos questions sur leurs marges. Quant aux deux premières questions de votre lettre : 1) l’indication des numéros des Psaumes et 2) la mention de la composition du chœur pour voix d’hommes et d’enfants avec, à leur défaut, des voix de femmes, très indispensable de l’inserrer [sic] dans cette réduction de piano et chant de chœur. Du reste, s’il m’en souvient, j’en ai parlé dans ce sens à Païchadze. Mais la mémoire me fait à tel point défaut que [j’ai même oublié comment s’appelle ma Symphonie de psaumes] je ne me souviens plus de rien! Ca dévient [sic] terrible Croyez à ma fidèle amitié et à ma reconnaissance infinie.

But, I beg of you, do not be extravagant in finding me things that I love passionately but which are, because of the dark times in which we live, unaffordable for us other musicians. Leave those to the rich, if there are any left. Most fondly, Your 50-year-old friend* Igor Strawinsky *OK, I know it’s “Quinquagenarian,” but the number sounds better � Stravinsky à Boulanger Voreppe (Isère) le 5-18 juin [19]32 Comment vous remercier, chère Nadia, pour vos esquisses pleinne [sic] d’amitié qui m’est tant particulièrement précieuse puisque je connais trop bien les qualités inestimables de votre cœur et de votre oreille !
