Dear Igor, Dear Vera,
These last few hours I have been so sad to leave you that after having asked for your number, I
hung up, not having the courage to hear your voices.
But I will soon kiss the cheeks of Jean, Sviétik, Françoise, maybe Milène. Who knows, [perhaps]
I will return sooner than I think. Finally, may God keep you, my dearest ones. I love you, and
when I consider just how much, the thought of this long-awaited return costs me very dearly.
And to miss the Symphony!
Know all that these last-minute lines bring to you, and speak of me often. I need to feel you close
by my side.
Your
Nadia B.
[P.S.] I will speak to Sviétik and Françoise about the baptism. Again, all my love, Dear Igor,
Dear Vèra!

Cher Igor, Chère Vera,
Les toutes dernières heures suis si triste de vous quitter qu’après avoir demandé votre numéro,
j’ai annulé, pas le courage d’entendre votre voix.
Mais embrasserai bientôt Jean, Sviétik, Françoise, peut-être Milène. Qui sait, reviendrai plus tôt
que je ne pense. Enfin, que Dieu vous garde, mes très chers. Je vous aime, il me semble
seulement mesurer combien et ce retour tant attendu, me coûte bien cher.
Et manquer la symphonie!
Sentez tout ce que ces lignes de la dernière minute vous portent, et parlez souvent de moi, j’ai
besoin de vous sentir à mes côtés.
Votre
Nadia B.
[P.-S.] Dirai à Sviétik et Françoise à propos du baptême. Encore ma tendresse, Cher Igor, Chère
Vèra !

Nadia dear,
I wonder if it’s [worth] the trouble of writing to us. When are you leaving? I wait for even the
slightest word from you.
How good you are to have thought of me on the day of my grief. Thank you.
Always yours,
I. Str
[P.S.] Kyriena told me about the death of her father. Ziloti died at age 83. The poor old man had
a very weak heart after successive cases of pneumonia.
Milène and André received your precious presents from Canada. They suppose it’s your doing
(the name of the exporter as well of the giver were missing) and both want to write with their
gratitude and enthusiasm. Our plan is to have them come here. I think that you approve of that
and if so—please exert all your influence when you are down there.
Perhaps ask our dear friend Winifred to take care of the reservations at the Hotel Hemenway in
Boston for the week of my concerts (February 18 to 24—days of our departure to and from
Havana)?
Is it as difficult as in N.Y.?

Nadia chère,
Je me demande si c’est la peine de nous écrire. A quand le depart [sic]? J’attends ne serait-ce
qu’un mot de vous.
Que vous êtes bonne d’avoir pensé à moi le jour de mon deuil. Merci
Toujours à vous
I. Str.
[P.-S.] Kyriena m’announcé [sic] la mort de son père. Ziloti mort 83 ans. Le pauvre vieil homme
avait un cœur bien affaibli après des pneumonies successives.
Milène et André ont bien reçu vos précieux cadeaux canadiens, ils supposent que c’est de votre
part (le nom de l’exportateur en plutôt du 1o
donateur manquait) et veut [sic] tous ecrire [sic]
leurs reconnaissances et enthousiasme. Nous avons le projet de les faire venir ici. Je pense que
vous l’approuvez et si oui—please appuisez-vous [sic] de toutes vos forces quand vous serez la-
bas [sic].
Peut-être demander notre chère ami [sic] Winifred de s’occuper des reservations [sic] à l’hotel
[sic] Hemmenway [sic] à Boston pour la semaine de mes concerts (du 18 au 24 février—jours de
notre depart [sic] à Havana)?
Est-ce aussi difficile qu’à N.Y.?

My very dear Nadia,
Moved by your words, moved by your departure. I wonder, however, if this departure is truly
permanent in view of the upheaval created by de Gaulle’s leaving.
Have you heard Prokofieff's [sic] Symphony no. 5 (what are the other four that we have never
heard)? Unfortunately, at the same time as the broadcast, I had my rehearsal for Babel,
conducted by Werner Janssen—less helpless than the Dumbarton Oaks Concerto last year. I
don't think that this indicates progress on his part, simply that the piece is less difficult to
conduct
They say that Koussevitzky is having Shostakovsky [sic] come from Russia in March and it’s
also been said that Koussevitzky is retiring and giving up the baton at the beginning of the next
season to Mitropoulos. Sounds so exciting, but is it true?
Why do you bring up money (photostats of my Symphony). I can give you a gift, too—it's true,
it's nothing big, all the more reason to—why talk about it. You owe me nothing save a few “love
and kisses” in your next letter. (Pencil please—to erase)
Your
I Str.
Who loves you, who loves you, who loves you.
[P.S.] Received very kind words from Abbot Fortier (for the birth of little Jean)—don’t even
have time to respond to him. Tell him how touched I was. Thanks.

Nadia très chère,
Touché par votre mot, touché par votre départ. Je me demande cependant si ce départ est
vraiment définitif vu le chambardement crée par le depart [sic] de De Gaulle.
Avez-vous entende [sic] la Symphonie de Prokofieff No. 5 (quelles sont les autres 4 qu’on a [sic]
jamais entendu ?). Malheureusement au moment du broadcast j’ai eu ma repetition [sic] de Babel
conduite par Werner Janssen moins « helpless » que Dumbarton Oaks Concerto l’année dernière.
Pense pas que cela signifie un progrès de sa part, simplement la pièce est moin [sic] difficile de
conduire.
On dit que Koussevitzky fait venir Shostakovsky [sic] de Russie en mars et on dit que
Koussevitzky se retire et cède la baguette à partir de la saison prochaine à Mitropoulos. So
exciting tout ça, mais est-ce vrai?
Pourquoi me parlez-vous d’argent (photostates de ma Symphonie). Je peux aussi vous faire un
cadeau—c’est vrai, ce n’est pas grand-chose, raison de plus—pourquoi en parler. Vous ne me
devez rien sauf quelques « love and kisses » dans votre prochaine lettre. (crayon S.V.P. pour
effacer)
Votre
I Str.
Qui vous aime, qui vous aime, qui vous aime.
[P.-S.] Reçu un très gentil mot de l’Abbé Fortier (pour la naissance du petit Jean)—même pas de
temps à lui répondre. Dites-lui combien j’ai été touché. Merci.

What a great letter. What a delightful announcement. Were I only there!
We must pay a sacrifice for certain joys. Dear Vera! I could not find a way to delay my
departure, but I am also sad.
And to not see you again is a heavy sorrow. I will try to have Sezna do the musical phrase for
Igor—I am exhausted. Have lessons from morning till night, all the rehearsals, parts to correct,
things to buy for France, etc., etc., etc.
This is all to say that I pray to God not to collapse. It is very difficult, but that’s all right.
I embrace you both with
the tenderness you know.
I am happy that I will soon see
little Jean!
This birth and all it represents is marvelous!
Your
Nadia

Quelle bonne lettre. Quelle charmante annonce. Que ne suis-je là!
Que de sacrifices coûtent certains bonheurs. Chère Vera! Je ne saurais remettre mon départ, mais
je suis triste aussi.
Et ne pas vous revoir est un lourd chagrin. Je tâcherai de faire faire la phrase pour Igor par
Seznec—je suis à bout de forces. Ai des journées de leçons du matin au soir, toutes les
répétitions, le matériel à corriger, les affaires à acheter pour la France, etc. etc. etc. C'est-à-dire
que je demande vraiment à Dieu de ne pas tomber. C’est très dur, Mais bien.
Je vous embrasse tous deux avec
La tendresse que vous savez.
Que je suis heureuse de voir
Bientôt le petit Jean!
C’est ébloussant [sic] cette naissance qui implique tant de choses !
A vous
Nadia

1) Thank you for Leyssac’s address, Dear Friend.
2) Thank you for your speed.
3) Have I told you that I found wool undergarments, a waistcoat, boots, and gloves for Milène
and André, and baby clothes for Sviétik’s baby in Montreal?
4) At last, just found wool undergarments for Milène here. It was too early, they did not yet have
them when I looked in Montreal.
5) Would you like to have a copy made (I ask you very timidly) of the orchestral score of the
new symphony, movements I and II, of which I only have sketches? I cannot begin to write to
you about this symphony. I feel ridiculous and insignificant, but . . . I believe that I know what it
is. And I am very happy.
6) Have you taken my old car? If you do not need it or want it anymore—tell me. I’m glad that it
has been useful to you, but doubtless you do not want it anymore
7) Will leave at the end of December. It is sad not to see you before, but I must go back. I will
speak to you again about all this very soon.
I think of you two all the time. You cannot imagine the sadness of not seeing you anymore. It
was so wonderful . . . you are always with me, but . . . a bit of your real presence would do me
good.
To you, with all my heart,
Nadia B.

1) Merci de l’adresse Leyssac, Cher Ami
2) Merci de la rapidité
3) Vous ai-je dit que j’ai trouvé à Montreal des sous-vêtements de laine, gilets, bottes, gants,
pour Milène et André, de la layette pour le bébé de Sviétik
4) Viens de trouver enfin, ici, des culottes de laine pour Milène. C’était trop tôt, on ne les avait
pas encore quand j’ai cherché à Montreal
5) Voulez-vous bien avoir faire, (Je le demande bien timidement) un ex. de la partition
d’orchestre de nouvelle symphonie, [dont] I et II mt. desquels je n’ai que l’esquisse. Je ne peux
commencer à vous écrire à propos de cette symphonie. Je me sens ridicule et pygmée, mais…Je
crois que je sais bien de quoi il s’agit. Et je suis si heureuse.
6) Avez-vous pris ma vielle guimbarde ? Si vous n’en avez plus besoin ou envie—dites le moi. Il
me plaisait qu’elle vous soit de quelque utilité, mais sans doute maintenant, n’en voulez-vous
plus
7) Partirai fin décembre. C’est triste de ne pas vous voir, avant, mais il me faut rentrer. Vous
reparlerai de tout cela très bientôt.
Pense à vous deux sans cesse. Vous ne pouvez vous imaginer ce qu’est la tristesse de ne plus
vous voir. C’était trop beau…Vous êtes toujours avec moi, mais…un peu de présence réelle
ferait [du] bien.
À vous, de tout cœur
Nadia B.

Dear Friend,
What a magnificent surprise, what happiness, and what satisfaction. You are an angel!
I cannot tell you about this exceedingly beautiful piece. I feel unworthy. This is the sixth letter
I’ve started. My praise seems to me so small, so awkward—courage will soon return to me, I
hope, but not today. I read, I reread. What success on the whole and in each detail, and . . . and
again I don’t know [what to say]. I am not going too fast! But I know what this symphony
represents. I love it and you. It is just too sad to not see you anymore, to not be near you at the
piano, to not have you hear me play it for you. This separation is awful. It weighs on me heavily.
Leaving for Montreal. Will write you upon my return. Jealous of all who have seen Vera’s
boutique, they tell me it is so stunning—not being able to go to Hollywood is a death sentence.
Received an interesting, kind letter from Sviétik. He seems happy, everyone writes to me about
him with much musical confidence. Everyone finds Françoise so kind. Saturday is his birthday. I
hope that my package will be there for that day. I really want to speak with you about the finale.
I cannot think of more to tell you about other things and yet, I do not see how I might
demonstrate to you that I understood! But I have understood, I believe, and heard—and I feel
very proud of myself!
You are too great for me to forget it, especially when I am not close to you and my old
incorrigible shyness is as strong as ever.
Thank you. You have given me the nicest double-present you could imagine and the two aspects
of the score follow the same line of thinking[:] an order established by one is definitively
expressed by the other.
I love you so much, admire you, and miss you. To you, to Vera, very fondly,
NB

Cher Ami,
Quelle magnifique surprise, quel bonheur, et quelle satisfaction. Vous êtes un ange!
Je ne peux pas vous parler de ce morceau si beau. Je m’en sens indigne. Voilà la 6è lettre que je
commence. Mes effusions me semblent si pauvrettes, si gauches—le courage me viendra bien, je
l’espère, mais pas aujourd’hui. Je lis, relis. Quelle réussite de l’ensemble, de chaque détail,
et…Je ne connais encore rien. Je ne vais pas si vite! Mais je sais ce qu’est la Symphonie. Je
l’aime et vous aime. Seulement c’est trop triste de ne plus vous voir, ne d’etre [sic] pas près de
vous, au piano, de ne pas vous l’entendre me la jouer, pour moi. C’est bête, cette séparation. Elle
me pèse bien lourdement.
Pars pour Montréal. Vous écrirai dès mon retour. Suis jalouse de tous ceux qui ont vu la boutique
de Vera, si étonnante me dit-on—ce n’est plus vivre que de ne plus prendre la route de
Hollywood.
Reçu une lettre de Sviétik, intéressante, gentille. Il semble heureux, tout le monde m’écrit à son
sujet avec tant de confiance musicale. Chacun trouve Françoise si gentille.
Samedi, son anniversaire. J’espère qu’il aura mon paquet pour ce jour-là. Ai tant envie de vous
parler du Final. Que je ne trouve plus rien à vous dire d’autre et pourtant, je ne vois pas vous
démontrant que j’ai compris! Mais j’ai compris, je crois, et entendu –et je me sens toute fière !
Vous êtes trop grand pour que je puisse l’oublier surtout quand je ne suis pas près de vous, et ma
vieille incorrigible timidité bat son plein.
Merci. Vous m’avez fait le plus beau double cadeau qui se puisse rêver, et les deux aspects de la
partition font suivre le cheminement de la pensée l’ordre ramassée de l’un, définitivement exposé
de l’autre.
Que je vous aime, vous admire, et que vous me manquez. À vous, à Vera bien tendrement,
NB
