Cette musique (materiel [sic] complet du Concerto en Mib) est envoyée en rouleaux (trois, si je ne me trompe) par poste et… Strecker espère qu’il n’y aura pas de difficultés de douane qui pourraient retenir l’arrivée de cette musique à temps pour les répétitions—chose qui serait vraiment épouvantable. Dans ma première lettre à vous (du 6 avr.) je vous avais demande [sic] si vous aviez vu Mme Bliss et si vous lui aviez parlé au sujet de notre dernier entretien ici—c. à d. question de second et dernier versement. Vous ne m’aviez jamais répondu (je m’imagine tout ce que vous devez retenir dans la tête!) Si vous y pensez, vous seriez bien gentille de lui en parler pour accelerer [sic] le règlement ce qui me rendrait service (surtout maintenant—Dieu sait ce que me coûte la maladie de ma fille et de ma femme) J’attends avec impatience des nouvelles des répétitions et du materiel [sic], s’il arrivé à temps.

This music (complete parts for the Concerto in E-flat) will be sent in rolls (three, if I’m not mistaken) by mail and . . . Strecker hopes that there will not be any difficulties with customs that could slow the arrival of this music in time for rehearsals—something which would be truly dreadful. In my first letter to you (of April 6), I had asked if you had seen Mrs. Bliss and if you had spoken to her on the subject of our last meeting here—which is to say the question of the second and final payment. You never responded (I can only imagine everything you have going on inside your head!). If you think of it, would you be so kind as to speak with her about it to speed up the payment, which would do me a great service (especially now—God knows what the sickness of my daughter and wife are costing me). I impatiently await news of rehearsals and of the scores, if they arrive in time. Fondly, Your I. Str [P.S.] Excuse the hasty scribbling � Boulanger à Stravinsky Monsieur I. Strawinsky 25 Fauborg St. Honoré Paris, France 15 mai 1938 Cher Ami, Je n’ai pas pu vous écrire, parce que la vie que je mène est un impossible problème. Il me faut pourtant vous dire quelle joie a été ce concert du 8 chez les Bliss. Je savais, mais ne savais rien, quelle joie me réservant l’exécution du Concerto—et en l’entendant j’ai, une fois de plus, compris ce que je ne sais pas vous dire, que je ne peux pas exprimer, mais qui est dans ma vie, une certitude d’une telle solitude. Et après tous les cours consacrés à votre musique, je crois que je comprends vraiment mieux. Le Concerto a été joué honnêtement, bien, vraiment bien –et a été entendu, je crois. Il reste beaucoup de fautes—et quelques problèmes—je souhaite que vous puissiez attendre mon retour pour imprimer, car il me semble que quelques passages devraient être modifiés dans les parties (répliques insuffisantes, la notation, etc.) et je ne peux dresser cette liste maintenant—je travaille presque nuit et jour. Comment vous remercier –et comment vous prouver un si grand dévouement—tout est éclairé par vous—non seulement par vos œuvres, mais par la clarté qu’elles projettent sur toute la musique. Vous nous avez rendu des oreilles et une conscience. Je ne peux me détacher du Concerto —tout sonne d’une telle manière ! A vous, aux votres [sic], je pense avec une tendre affection, et suis près de vous durant ces heures lourdes d’angoisse. Que Dieu soit avec vous, et ramène la paix. C’est si affreux, cette impuissance devant la maladie. Votre Nadia [P.-S.] Il faut que vous sachiez ce qu’ont été les Bliss, si émus par le Concerto et si reconnaissants. � 1938 Author: Nadia Boulanger Concerto in E-Flat Dumbarton Oaks Concerto Igor Location: 25 Faubourg Mildred Woods Bliss Recipient: Igor Stravinsky https://digex.lib.uoguelph.ca/files/original/39e43aa432bb5f9734ea7016bd7085c6.pdf cee1b583f293dd7ab2602a9ebb0ca5f5 https://digex.lib.uoguelph.ca/files/original/74f598553f26062ae4538ef933c8a01d.pdf c28da96525a0cc1ecd9ee1a8921c3ca6 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Strawinsky 25 Faubourg St. Honoré Paris, France May 15, 1938 Dear Friend, I have not been able to write you, because the life I lead is an impossible problem. But I must, all the same, tell you what a joy the concert was at the Blisses’ on the 8th. I knew, but did not know at all, the joy I would find in performing the Concerto—and upon listening to it, I have understood once again [things that] I wouldn’t know how to tell you. I can’t express it, but such loneliness is a certainty in my life. And, after all the courses dedicated to your music, I believe that I understand all the better. The Concerto was played honestly, well, very well—and was understood, I believe. There remain many mistakes—and a few problems—I hope that you can wait for my return before printing it, because it seems to me that a few passages should be modified in places (insufficient repeats, the notation, etc.) and I cannot formulate the list at this time—I work almost night and day. How can I thank you? And how can I prove to you such great devotion? You have clarified everything, not only through your works, but also by the clarity they project onto all music. You have given us ears and a conscience! I cannot tear myself away from the Concerto— everything has such an unexpected sound! I think of you and your family with deep affection, and am close to you through these heavy, anxious times. May God be with you and bring peace. This helplessness in the face of sickness is so frightful. Your Nadia [P.S.] You must know that the Blisses were deeply moved by the Concerto and are so thankful. � Boulanger à Stravinsky Gargenville S.O. 25 Aout 1938 Cher Ami Voici enfin mon pauvre petit chèque. Vous savez, n’est-ce-pas, qu’il me fait honte, mais… Vous savez aussi que je voudrais pourtant vous témoigner de cette manière matérielle autant qu’en esprit et en affection, ma gratitude.
