Mr. Igor Strawinsky 1260 North Wetherly Drive Hollywood California August 1, 1941 Dear Friend, Thank you for your letter—I will be in Santa Barbara on Monday, but will be resting for at least ten days. I just finished my courses at the Convent, and . . . I don’t have a choice. It is nothing, and it is not important. But an old tired heart does not bear it—in addition to the daily effort, the remorse—and I cannot get used to the idea of having left them there, suffering, oh what suffering. I know that certain tasks can only be accomplished this way, and I have the dearest friends here like you couldn’t imagine—the most faithful. I have understood the value of these weeks at the Convent, the work demands all of my attention—but . . . something stronger than all that haunts my thoughts: “You left everything.” [Even] if I were to face hardship here, everything is easy—and despite all that I have, my conscience is troubled and that is greater than any reason, even the serious, concrete [ones], that I have to pursue my work here. And I know this is all that one can do. See you soon, I hope. We will arrange something, because we must settle these parts once and for all (if that is even imaginable!). You told me nothing of Milène, of Sviétik, but I guess there is the world between you, and Théodore, harder again for you than for him! To Vera and to you, with all my affection, NB � Boulanger à Stravinsky Chicago, Illinois C/O Mrs. Arthur Sachs Ra Ben [sic] Farm Hope Ranch Park Santa Barbara Cal.

Je viens de finir mes cours au Couvent, et…je n’ai pas le [sic] choix. Ce n’est rien, et cela n’a pas d’importance. Mais un vieux cœur fatigué ne supporte pas, en plus de l’effort journalier, les remords—et je ne peux me faire à l’idée de les avoir laissé là-bas, souffrant, quelle souffrance. Je sais, certains devoirs ne sont possibles qu’ainsi, et j’ai ici des amis, comme on n’en peut imaginer de plus chers—de plus fidèles. J’ai compris la valeur de ces semaines au Couvent, le travail demande toute mon activité—mais…quelque chose de plus fort que tout obsède ma pensée : « Tu as tout quitté ». Si je vivais ici de privations, mais tout est facile—et malgré tout ce que j’ai le trouble de ma conscience est plus grand que toutes les raisons, même sérieuses, réelles, que j’ai de poursuivre ma tache [sic] ici. Et je sais tou[t] ce qu’on peut faire. A bientôt, j’espère—nous arrangerons quelque chose—car il faut regler [sic] ce matériel une fois pour toutes (si cela est imaginable !)

Reply quickly by return mail if you are coming here (or to Santa Barbara where Mrs. Bliss is waiting for you) since in that case it would be simpler to look at things concerning my symphony together and to make decisions face to face. It’s so complicated to correspond on such subjects. I am so grateful to you for taking care of this, thank you with all my heart! I am back from Mexico City with the two orch[estral] scores, mine and the grey one that I want to try to correct according to my own. Can you believe those idiots at the Associated Music Publishers sent (for some potential performances) a complete version of my symphony to London before they had received your corrections!!!!!! So I await your response doubly impatiently. I’m sorry to hear that you’re in a poor state of health and beg you to give me details, if only as an exception [to what you would usually do]. Is it your nerves, insomnia, or something bigger yet? I am very worried. I’ve just received a letter from Théodore who, the poor boy, was taken away by two policemen to a concentration camp close to Toulouse where he spent four horrible days dying of hunger, a result of measures taken by the government against all Russians without exception (Red or White), following the break in diplomatic relations with the Soviets. If it wasn’t for the Swiss Consul at Toulouse who acted as guarantor for my poor Théodore, he would still be imprisoned like the others. Such noble measures are taken, probably to please Hitler, against refugees deprived of all their rights. And [to think] Théodore offered his services to the French army at the beginning of the war! The other day in Mexico City someone asked if I was for Pétain or, like many French here, a “Degaullist,” I responded to them that I am “Disgueulsted.” Very affectionately yours, I. Stra � Stravinsky à Boulanger 1260 North Wetherly Drive Hollywood, California 29 juillet 1941 Chere amie, Votre lettre du 29 juin recue a Mexico et ne vous reponds qu’aujourd’hui quelques mots pour vous en remercier. Repondez-moi vite par retour du courrier si vous venez ici (ou a Santa Barbara ou Mme Bliss vous attend) puisque dans ce cas il serait plus simple de voir les choses qui concernent ma symphonie ensemble et de prendre des decisions de vive voix. C’est si complique de correspondre sur de pareils sujets. Je vous suis si reconnaissant de vous en occuper, merci de tout cœur ! Je suis revenu de Mexico avec les deux partitions d’orch., la mienne et la grise que je veux tachez [sic] de corriger d’apres la mienne.

Est-ce que c’est les nerfs, l’insomnie ou des choses plus importantes encore ? Je suis tres inquiet.

Si ce n’était le consul suisse a Toulouse qui s’est porte garant de mon pauvre Theodore ce dernier serait toujours emprisonne comme les autres. Nobles mesures prises, probablement pour faire plaisir a Hitler, contre des refugiers prives de tous les droits. Et dire que Theodore a offert au debut de la guerre ses services a l’armee francaise !

I only had one new score, the second one—and this makes the work more uncertain, because I have the feeling that I’m forgetting piles of details—moreover, I’ve had to accept, with much gratitude, to go teach at Sister Edward’s Convent where I’ll be from June 18 to June 26—going afterward to Santa Barbara (assuming this is still possible!) I would have to find the right score here with the already corrected parts, around the 15th or 20th of August (I have to go to Canada again for my visa to be changed to a Professor Visa) and I will do everything that is possible. But the truth is that new parts must be created, and this I cannot take on. The student who wanted to do it will not be here for months, unfortunately, and Barbara does not have the means to assume such work. Ultimately, I will do all that I can—if you knew how painful it is to write, you would understand why I’ve really not been able to do it. It is peculiar, I was convinced I wrote to you several weeks ago, when I spoke with you about the house, about this summer—was it actually a dream? I suddenly have doubts, and yet I can even remember what I told you. I don’t know myself, anymore! My love to both of you, NB [P.S.] I hope to give you the Ave Maria next week. But . . . so many promises have already been made to me that I don’t believe anything anymore—still, I have Noces, Apollon, Symphonie de psaumes, Sérénade, etc. . . . [P.P.S.] Am distressed. � Boulanger à Stravinsky Gerry’s Landing Cambridge, Massachusetts Throwbridge 78-89 30 mai 1941 Cher Igor, Pardon de mon silence—mais tout l’excuse—d’abord l’état d’affreuse préoccupation où nous sommes tous, puis, la maladie de l’élève qui devait m’aider à travailler pour vous, enfin, un bras qu’a rendu écrire très difficile tous ces mois-ci (en tombant...horriblement froissé des muscles, et des nerfs encore très douloureux.) Je n’avais qu’un matériel neuf, la 2de partition—et cela rend le travail des plus douteux, car j’ai l’impression d’oublier des tas de détails—de plus, j’ai dû accepter, avec quelle gratitude, d’aller enseigner au Couvent de Sister Edward où je serai du 18 Juin [sic] au 26 Juillet [sic]—allant ensuite à Santa Barbara (en admettant que tout cela soit encore possible !) Il faudrait que je trouve la bonne partition ici avec le matériel déjà corrigé, vers le 15 ou 20 août (il faut encore aller au Canada pour que mon visa soit changé en Professor Visa) et je ferai tout ce qu’il est possible—mais la vérité c’est qu’il faudrait faire un matériel neuf—et cela je ne peux l’entreprendre—l’élève qui voulait le faire ne sera pas en étant[sic] d’ici des mois. Hélas, et Barbara n’a pas les moyens de se charger d’un tel travail. Enfin, je ferai tout ce que je pourrai— si vous saviez combien c’est pénible d’écrire, vous comprendriez pourquoi je n’ai vraiment pas pu le faire. C’est singulier, j’étais persuadée vous avoir écrit, il y a quelques semaines, quand je vous ai parlé de la maison, de cet été—est-ce vraiment un rêve ?—J’ai tout-à-coup des doutes—et pourtant, je croyais même me souvenir de ce que je vous disais. Je ne sais plus moi-même ! Je vous embrasse tous deux, avec la plus profonde affection. NB [P.-S.] J’espère vous offrir un Ave Maria la semaine prochaine.

Are you still in Cambridge, are you on vacation (rather implausible)? It has been an eternity (March 17) since you sent me your (unfortunately sad) news. Since then, the Associated Music Publishers, in their letter from April 1, spoke to me about you, letting me know that “the material of your Symphony was sent to Miss Boulanger . . . she wrote us in the meantime that her corrections would be delayed as she is rather busy at this time.” Is this time over? I’m wondering about this with a certain degree of concern for two reasons: (1) My concert in Mexico City, where I am playing my symphony, is approaching and I am wondering if I will be able to count on this newly corrected material from you. (2) If we had sent you the unchanged piece from which I had conducted along with the unaltered material (in order to help you with the corrections), I am scared that the Associated Music Publishers, having to deliver this corrected material to the Mexico Philharmonic (it is necessary to allow 10 to 14 days to send it from New York to Mexico) for my concerts (beginning of July), will be obliged to take [the score] away from you, thereby interrupting your precious work. Unless you will be able to continue correcting it according to the corrections written partially in the gray score and on the bottom of the paper. As you see I am completely ignorant of what is going on. A note from you would settle my nerves, providing the letter is reassuring. I received a letter from Mr. Forbes letting me know about his “Committee’s” refusal to publish my lectures in two languages. I thought as much. They are now proposing to publish them only in their original language, i.e., French. I consented. Their reasoning is incomprehensible to me. If the edition, with the two combined texts, frightened them—a higher cost for the volume without any great hope of a good run—what would be the advantage of publishing in French, I wonder? All my affectionate and faithful thoughts, my very dear Nadia, Your I. Str [P.S.] The troubling news from Vichy scares me. � Stravinsky à Boulanger 2160 North Wetherly Drive Hollywood, California le 19 mai 1941 Ma chere Nadia, Il y a denouveau[sic] longtemps que je n’entends plus parler de vous. Etes-vous toujours a Cambridge, etes-vous en vacances (plustot [sic] invraisemblable)? Il y a des eternites (le 17 mars) que vous m’aviez envoye de vos (helas tristes) nouvelles. Depuis l’Associated Music Publishers dans leur lettre du I-er avril me parlaient de vous en me faisant savoir que “the material of your Symphony was sent to Miss Boulanger…she wrote us in the meantime that her corrections would be delayed as she is rather busy at this time.” Is this time over? C’est ce que je me demande avec une certaine inquietude pour deux raison [sic]: I.- Mon concert a Mexico, ou je joue ma symphonie, s’approche et je me demande si je pourrai compter sur ce nouveau materiel corrige par vous. 2.- Si on vous avait envoye avec le materiel vierge aussi celui d’apres lequel j’ai dirige (afin de vous faciliter le travail de correction), j’ai bien peur que l’Associated Music Publishers devant livrer ce materiel corrige a la Philharmonie de Mexico (il faut compter 10 a 14 jours, le transfert de New York a Mexico) pour mes concerts (commencement de juillet) se verra oblige de vous l’enlever, interrompant ainsi votre precieux travail. A moins que vous puissiez le continuer d’apres les corrections inscrites en partie sur la partition grise, en partie sur des bouts de papier. Je suis comme vous voyez, dans l’ignorance complete de ce qui se passe. Un mot de vous mettera [sic] en bon ordre mes nerfs, a condition que ce mot soit rassurant. J’ai reçu une lettre de Mr.Forbes [sic] me faisant savoir le refus de son « Committee » de publier mes cours en deux langues. Je m’y attendais. Ils me proposent maintenant de les publier seulement dans leur langue originale, c. a d. en français. J’ai consenti. Leur raisonnement m’est incomprehensible. Si l’edition, avec les deux textes ensemble, les effrayait—cout eleve du volume sans grand espoir d’un fort tirage quel serait l’avantage de la publication en langue française, je me demande.

I did not write to her, not wishing to tire her with the obligation of responding if she still feels weak right now. I would absolutely like to see her again before her departure, which is why I would be infinitely grateful if you could let me know what has been decided with respect to her. I received a letter from my son, Théodore. Indeed, it is as I had told you the other day: he is asking me to find someone in France who would help him in his very difficult situation —he finds himself like a prisoner in his town (Villemur, Haute-Garone) without being able to do the least sort of work to feed himself or [to acquire] the basic necessities of life, which is already hard enough. May his sense of liberty remain as it was before his internment. Would you know, my dear friend, whom I might contact, either the Minister of the Interior or of Justice? Maybe Nadia, who also wanted to intervene to help Théodore, could give you some useful advice? Thank you, and thank you again to the both of you for the lovely days spent at your home with you, Your I. Str. � Stravinsky aux Georgina et Arthur Sachs 31 Otc[sic] [19]41 Très chers amis, Deux mots pour vous demander comment cela va et si vous n’avez pas eu des [sic] nouvelles inquiétudes au sujet de Nadia. Je ne lui écris pas ne sachant plus voulant plus la fatiguer avec une reponse [sic] si des fois elle se sentait encore faible. Je voudrai absolument la revoir encore avant son depart [sic] c’est pourquoi je vous serai infiniment reconnaissant de me faire savoir ce qui est decidé [sic] à son sujet. J’ai reçu la lettre de mon fils Th. En effet c’est comme je vous l’avait [sic] dit l’autre jour : il me demande de lui trouver en France quelqu’un qui l’aiderait dans sa situation si difficile–il se trouve comme prisonnier dans son village (Villemur, Hte Garronne [sic]) sans pouvoir faire des œuvres les plus ordinaires pour son alimentation et les besoins courants de la vie déjà sans cela assez dure [sic]. Qu’en lui encore sa liberté comme avant sa captivité. Sauriez-y, ma chère amie, à qui s’adresser, au ministre de l’intérieur ou à celui de la justice. Peut-etre [sic] Nadia qui voulait aussi intervenir pour aider Th. pourrait vous donner un conseil utile. Encore et encore merci a [sic] vous deux que vous deux [illegible strike out] de ces bonnes deux journées passées son chez vous et avec vous, Votre I Str. � 1941 Author: Igor Stravinsky Nadia Boulanger Recipient: Georgina & Arthur Sachs Théodore Stravinsky Theodore Strawinsky
