Is it possible to see one another?

This weekend (which is to say Saturday, Sunday, and Monday until Tuesday afternoon) I will be in the country, which is why I would be very grateful if you could send me a short note by return post so that I will have it before heading to the countryside.

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.

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. Cette urgence est causée par le fait que la première édition de cette partition s’est épuisée jusqu’au dernier exemplaire il y a déjà un bon moment et nous sommes obligés de refuser les demandes pour cette œuvre ce qui est très désagréable pour le compositeur et pour l’éditeur. 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. Espérant que vous voudrez bien entendre cet appel de S.O.S. et vous remerciant d’avance, je vous prie, chère Mademoiselle, de croire à mes sentiments respectueux. G.

I’m only sending you the pages containing questions. Could you respond to the following all at once: 1) Indication of Psalm numbers? 2) Wouldn’t it be good to indicate that you wanted men’s voices and children’s (or women’s) voices?) The rest is as follows: 1) Compare the trumpet on p. 33 with that on p. 35. 2) the A-natural added in pencil but not by yourself on p. 22, second measure of R7. 3) And the chord on the last page—I believe very much that the C-sharp is correct, in spite of the recordings, because when the issue arose in the orchestral part, you played a C-natural with a shocked expression—and added the C-sharp immediately after. Excuse me for having been slightly late—Please be sure, it was not my fault. With deep devotion, NB � Boulanger à Stravinsky Les Maisonettes Hanneucourt By Gargenville (S&O) PTH 28 Monsieur Igor Strawinsky Isère La Virronière Voreppe 8 septembre 1931 Cher Ami, Je vois que certains points ont été déjà fixés par vous—je ne vous envoie que les pages contenant des questions—Veuillez en même temps répondre : 1/ indication du no. des Psaumes? 2/ Ne serait-il pas bon d’indiquer que vous avez voulu des voix d’hommes et des voix d’enfants (femmes à défaut ?) Reste donc : 1/ la trompette p. 33 à comparer avec p. 35 2/ le la-naturel ajouté au crayon, mais pas de votre main p. 22, seconde mes[ure] de [R]7 3/ et l’accord de la dernière page—mais je crois vraiment au do dièse, malgré les disques, car vous avez joué, quand la partition d’orchestre avec son do-naturel a soulevé la discussion, ce do- naturel avec une sorte de révolte—et avez ajouté le dièse aussitôt. Pardon d’avoir un peu tardé –ce n’est pas de ma faute, soyez-en s[û]r.

Attached are the blue pages with my answers written beside them in the margins. 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.
