For me, it is a thing of momentous importance, because I know what you will do for them, and more important, because I know you will have peace in which to work—this is in the foundation’s program. This is why, I tell you, I had such a desire to see you be next year’s “Norton’s Lecturer.” I live in such a rush that I don’t even dare to speak to you. This is not good, but I am always thinking of you. The business with Chicago still isn’t sorted out after everything seemed arranged. But I’m going to Washington next week before leaving for the West to have, finally, a definitive resolution. The forced departure of Mrs. Carpenter seems to have called everything into question, it is really disappointing. Know at least that I will do everything so that things turn out for the best. Sorry!

C’est vous dire pourquoi j’avais un tel désir de vous voir être le « Norton’s Lecturer » de l’année prochaine. Je vis dans une telle hâte, que je n’ose même pas vous parler. Ce n’est pas bien, aussi, mais je pense à vous, sans cesse. Les histoires Chicago ne sont pas encore en ordre après que tout semblait arrangé. Mais je vais à Washington la semaine prochaine avant de partir pour l’Ouest, afin d’avoir enfin une solution définitive. Le départ forcé de Mrs. Carpenter semble avoir remis tout en question, c’est vraiment décevant. Sachez du moins que je ferai tout pour que les choses s’arrangent au mieux de vos interets [sic].

December 13, 1939 Dear Igor, I am with you in such emotion and tenderness in these days of memorializing. I wanted to go and bring flowers to Mika’s grave on the 30th but I was unsuccessful, I couldn’t go out. But how I think of Her, of Catherine, of your Mother—and how I love you in Them, [as] I love them in you. It is necessary, so as to honor their memory, that you carry on yourself. It was in understanding God’s will, finding strength still, even in your pain. But your heart’s fatigue felt itself carried away by your spirit, by it alone. It’s so beautiful to act, again and until the final hour. I know what you did there. Your radiance and that which you brought to this young girl, anxious to understand you, wishing to be guided by you, illuminated the clarity of your spirit. Good will creates such utopias—and even more ideology. The nineteenth century played with people’s minds by creating false values. The most absurd conception of art, and from there, even the deformation of the physical [body]—eyes that couldn’t see, ears that no longer knew that music is about sound. Your role is limitless. Your action—because through works and words you’ve brought the house back into order. On the one hand sometimes roughly, but . . . the reaction will only be better. I have just written to Miss Holl (Longy School) to confirm to her my desire to come next year. This year I do not wish to leave France. I hope this will happen—and that you will still be there. I’m going to Paris next week and count on seeing Vera. Fondly and wholeheartedly, Your Nadia B. � Boulanger à Stravinsky Les Maisonettes Gargenville S.O. 13 décembre 1939 Cher Igor, Avec quelle tendresse et quelle émotion je suis avec vous, dans ces jours de souvenir. Je voulais aller porter des fleurs sur la tombe de Mika le 30—mal réussi, je n’ai [pas] pu sortir. Mais comme je pense à Elle, à Catherine, à votre vieille Maman——et comme je vous aime en Elles, si [et] les aime en vous. C’était prolonger leur ne que de poursuivre la vôtre [sic]. C’était comprendre la volonté de Dieu, que de trouver des forces encore, dans votre douleur même. Mais la fatigue de votre cœur à se sentir emporté encore par votre esprit, par lui-même. C’est si beau d’agir, encore et jusqu’à la dernière heure. Je sais ce que vous avez fait là-bas. Votre rayonnement, et ce que vous avez apporté à cette jeunesse anxieuse de vous comprendre, désirer d’être guidée par vous—éclairée par la clarté de votre esprit. La bonne volonté crée de telles utopies—et plus encore l’idéologie. Le XIXé s’est joué des esprits, en créant des fausses valeurs. La plus absurde conception de l’art, et delà, la déformation même physique—des yeux qui ne voient plus, des oreilles qui ne savent plus que la musique est du son. Votre rôle est sans limites. Votre action—car, par les œuvres et les paroles, vous avez réunis la maison en ordre. D’une main parfois rude mais . . . . la réaction n’en sera que meilleur. Je viens d’écrire à Miss Holl (Longy School) pour lui donner une confirmation de mon désir de venir l’an prochain. Cette année je voudrais ne pas quitter la France.

Mademoiselle Nadia Boulanger 36 rue Ballu Paris 9th, France April 18, 1940 My very dear Nadia, I am feeling an irresistible urge to write you, be it only a couple of lines. I hope that you are aware of the news of my marriage to Vera (civil for the moment, in observance of the Orthodox Lent) about which I had sent a telegram to Paris, but I wanted to announce it to you personally. We had to celebrate it earlier than first planned, but the tactlessness of the press since Vera’s arrival in America and my terrible solitude (despite my numerous occupations) made me decide to have her come from Charleston (where she was staying at some friends’) to Boston* to get married—which was done on March 9 in Bedford, 30 km from here, at the house of some Russian friends (a Harvard professor), in the country. A month ago, under the auspices of our ambassador, with the skillful and influential aid of Mr. and Mrs. Bliss, I succeeded in giving a chamber concert in New York benefiting French musicians affected by the war that was successful both from a financial and an artistic point of view. You and Mme Loudon should already be in possession of the large sum of $2,640 that was collected and that the good Mrs. Bliss told me about. I am very proud of this and very happy that it is you, along with Mme Loudon, who are responsible for the distribution, as I was able to understand it from Mrs. Bliss’ letter. We are very distressed by the events, although fully confident in the outcome of this gigantic struggle with evil. I very much want to have some news from you, dear friend—direct news. Sister Edward whom I saw in Chicago had some and not me! We leave for Los Angeles (143 So. Gramercey C/O Dr. A. Kall) in May where we will spend the summer and probably the autumn. Word from you would fill me with joy. Your I.

On a du [sic] le célébrer plus tôt qu’on me le projetait primitivement, mais l’indiscrétion de la presse depuis l’arrivée de Vera en Amérique et ma terrible solitude (malgré mes nombreuses occupations) m’ont décidé de la faire venir de Charleston (où elle s’installa chez des amis) à Boston* pour nous marier—ce qui été fait le 9 mars à Bedford, à 30 km d’ici chez des amis russes (professeur à Harvard), à la campagne. Il y a un mois, sous les hospice [sic] de notre ambassadeur, avec l’aide habil [sic] et puissante de Mr. et Mme Bliss j’ai réussi à donner un concert de chambre à New York au profit des musiciens français éprouvé [sic] par la guerre qui a réussi aussi bien pecunirement[sic] qu’un point de vue artistique.

You understand that on this sorrowful anniversary I have felt an infinite affection and it is through this feeling that we are connected to one another. To tell you that I am unhappy wouldn’t be the truth. I’ve settled quickly, I will even say instantly, to this difficult life that I didn’t know before. It’s a curious thing—it makes you discover certain neglected feelings, unexpected reactions. Good health sustains me, without which I doubt I could do the harder exercises. My superiors are attentive and intelligent, which is so important. So, I cannot complain about anything and I thank God for that. As always, with affectionate thoughts and a faithful heart, I am with you more than ever Dear Mademoiselle. I am fondly, Your Sviétik [P.S.] You would give me such pleasure by sending me a book. Thank you a thousand times for having suggested it to me. � Soulima Stravinsky à Boulanger Cosne le 21 décembre 1939 Très chère Mademoiselle, Je savais que vous étiez avec nous ce jour de triste et si tendre mémoire. Vous me comprenez, j’ai senti dans ce douloureux anniversaire une tendresse infinie et c’est à ce sentiment que nous nous attachons. Vous dire que je suis malheureux ne serait pas la vérité. Je me suis fait très vite, je dirai même tout de suite à cette vie dure que je ne connaissais pas encore. Chose curieuse—elle vous fait découvrir une quantité de sentiments ignorés, des réactions inattendues. La santé très bonne me fait supporter sans que je m’en doute des exercices les plus durs. Mes chefs sont attentifs et intelligents ce qui est si important. Je ne puis donc me plaindre de rien et me rend grâces à Dieu. Toujours en pensées affectueuses et de cœur fidèle avec vous plus que jamais, je vous embrasse, chère Mademoiselle, Votre Sviétik, [P.-S.] En m’envoyant un livre vous me ferez si plaisir. Merci mille fois de ma l’avoir proposé. � 1939 Author: Soulima Stravinsky Location: Cosne Recipient: Nadia Boulanger Soulima Stravinsky Sviétik
