36 rue Ballu
March 23, 1948
What can I say to you, my Friend, I understand. I rejoice for you, but I am sad, very sad. It was
such a great and necessary happiness. We all needed you so much. The agreement (l’accord) that
awaited you would have moved you. It cannot be so. It’s sad for us—a cruel disappointment. But
I’m convincing myself that it’s better [this way], that you are right.
Sorry for not being able to write you. I do nothing but produce variations on a single theme, [an]
ostinato, and you would find me boredom personified. Therefore, having told you about my grief
all the same, I thank you for this Orpheus that gives up a few more of its secrets to me every day
[and] that has dazzled me with its beauty since the first reading. What a marvelous composition.
What beautiful music. What order and what invention. Every . . . but what ridicule I set myself
up for. I see myself explaining your own score to you. How naïve. I know well enough that in
front of you we must listen and keep quiet. I only want to speak so as to provoke and incite your
reactions. How far away they are, and so present, the beautiful, dear days spent at your house. I
think of them with joy, and find in them an ever-renewed spring that nourishes and drives me.
Dear Igor, Dear Vera, I love you tenderly. I discover this with renewed feeling following your
seemingly certain arrival.
And now Easter’s here. I remember its promise and again want to believe in our reunion, God
knows where and when.
With fondness, I am your
NB
P.S. Tell me what I owe you for the score. I am so happy to have it. I liked Haïeff’s article a lot!

Que vous dire, mon Ami, je comprends. Je me réjouis pour vous, mais je suis triste, très triste.
C’était un si grand, un si nécessaire bonheur. Nous avions tous si grand besoin de vous. L’accord
qui vous attendait vous aurait touché. Il n’en peut être ainsi, c’est un malheur pour nous, une
cruelle déception. Mais je me persuade que c’est mieux, que vous avez raison.
Pardon de ne pouvoir vous écrire, je ne ferais que des Variations sur un seul thème, ostinato, et
vous me trouveriez l’ennui personnifié. Donc, vous ayant dit tout de même mon chagrin, je vous
remercie de cet Orpheus qui chaque jour me livre un peu de ses secrets, avoir m’avoir ébloui par
sa beauté dès la 1ère
lecture. Quelle merveilleuse composition. Quelle belle musique. Quel ordre
et quelle invention. Chaque…mais dans quel ridicule ne vais-je pas tomber. Je me vois vous
expliquant votre partition. Comme on est naïf. Allons, je sais bien qu’il faut, devant vous,
écouter, et se taire. Seulement j’ai envie de parler pour vous provoquer et susciter vos réactions.
Qu’ils sont lointains, et si présents, les beaux, chers jours passés chez vous. J’y pense de la joie,
et y trouve une source toujours renouvelée qui me nourrit, me pousser[sic]. Cher Igor, Chère
Véra, je vous aime tendrement. Je le découvre, avec un nouveau sentiment, votre venue
paraissant si sûre.
Voici Pâques. J’en retiens la promesse et veux encore croire à notre réunion. Dieu sait où et
quand.
Je vous embrasse et suis votre,
NB
P.-S. Dites-moi ce que je vous dois pour la partition. Que je suis heureuse de l’avoir.
Aimé beaucoup l’article de Haïeff !

Dear Igor,
Official letter today. It has to do with assigning the Lili Boulanger award. If you agree, we could
give $250 to Paul DesMarais and $350 to Claudio Santoro, a young Brazilian, a very talented,
true musician, and great worker. In the event that you would be ready to agree to this project, the
ballot is attached here. You only have to sign it and return it.
I play Orpheus all day long. We are overwhelmed by this score where everything is in harmony
and everything seems new, now and always. I seem rather stupid, but I assure you that I have
heard and understood everything, and that I am very proud to love you so much, you whom I
admire more than I know how to say. It seems that I destroy your secrets.
And this orchestration, these relationships, these distances. This writing—the score sings in my
ears and its order is in my spirit.
You cannot help me anymore. It is entirely my fault, but I suffer for it.
To Vera and to you, all my love,
N

Cher Igor,
Lettre officielle aujourd’hui. Il s’agit de décerner le Lili Boulanger award. Si vous êtes d’accord
on pourrait donner $250 à Paul DesMarais et 350 à Claudio Santaro, un jeune Brésilien, très
doué, vrai musicien, grand travailleur. Dans le cas où vous soyez prêt à souscrire à ce projet, un
bulletin est joint. Vous n’aurez qu’à le signer, et le renvoyer.
Je joue Orpheus toute la journée. Nous sommes bouleversés par cette partition où tout s’accorde
où tout est nouveau et semble de toujours. J’ai l’air très bête, mais je vous assure que j’ai tout
entendu, compris, et que, je suis très fière de tant vous aimer, vous que j’admire plus que je ne
sais dire. Il me semble que je détruis vos secrets.
Et cet orchestre, ces rapports, ces distances. Cette écriture, la partition chante dans mes oreilles et
son ordre dans mon esprit.
Vous ne m’aidez plus. C’est bien de ma faute, mais, j’en ai de la peine.
A Vera, à vous, de toute ma tendresse,
N

Dear, Dear Friend, my silence weighs on me a million times more than it is worth. Thinking of
you constantly and never telling you, what an aberration! It’s true that you hold such a place in
everyday life, that sometimes I seem to have written you everything that is said about you here!
Sorry for not having sent you the paperwork yet, but I have been to the embassy three times and
waited an hour, and had to give up. I will try on Wednesday. It has to be done in person, and
there is [always] a crowd. It is not my fault.
Your decision was a deep disappointment—and an immense relief—to me. We would have
killed you! But it’s too bad. For you, it’s something irrevocable. For the young people, it’s
catastrophic. All that they hear is done to make them stray from the right path. Nothing can guide
them. And they awaited you so greedily.
Thank you for the Ode. I am so happy to reread this score, which I love so much—where
everything is so right, so beautiful. I beg of you, on my knees, [to send] the Kyrie. I only have the
Gloria! Thank you. Jean Françaix and I played Bach and Strawinsky in Tours, and even in this
tiny, old provincial village it’s taking hold! On the 17th, we are doing it again in Roubaix and
then at the Cité Universitaire for the students.
Svétik has recently made stunning progress. His tour of Italy is a real success. The little one is
adorable and already someone. You will be crazy about him.
So happy that Milène and André are finally near to you.
With her serious, peaceful and intense face, little Kitty is a child who does not resemble other
children her own age. I could talk with you about her for hours. Her happiness at being with
Théodore and Denise [is apparent].
Take Vera in your arms and kiss her for me. My God, how I miss the marvelous time when we
looked at each other so seriously. I believe that you and I no longer love [word missing?] and
that puts the world between us.
Love to both of you,
NB
[P.S.] Thank you for the program from Washington. What memories!

Cher, Cher Ami, mon silence me pèse mille fois qu’il ne vaut. Penser à vous sans cesse, ne
jamais vous dire—quelle aberration ! Il est vrai que vous tenez une telle place dans la vie de
chaque jour que je me figure parfois vous avoir écrit tout ce qui se dit ici, de vous !
Pardon de ne pas encore vous avoir envoyé le papier, mais 3 fois j’ai été à l’Ambassade ai
attendu une heure, et ai du renoncer. J’essaierai mercredi. Il faut faire cela en personne, et il y a
toute. Ce n’est pas ma faute.
Votre décision m’a causé une profonde déception, et un immense soulagement. Nous vous
aurions tué ! Mais quel dommage. Pour vous quelque chose d’irréparable. Pour les jeunes,
catastrophique. Tout ce qu’ils entendent est fait pour leur faire perdre la bonne route. Rien ne
peut les diriger. Et ils vous attendaient avec une telle avidité.
Merci pour l’Ode. Je suis si heureuse de relire cette partition que j’aime tant. Où tout est si juste,
et si beau. Je vous en supplie à deux genoux : le Kyrie. Je n’ai que le Gloria ! Merci. Avons joué
à Tours, Jean Françaix et moi, Bach, Strawinsky, même dans cette vieille ville province, cela
mord ! Recommençons à Roubaix le 17 puis à la Cité Universitaire pour les étudiants.
Sviétik a fait récemment des progrès étonnants. Sa tournée en Italie est un vrai succès. Le petit
est adorable et déjà quelqu’un. Vous en seriez fou.
Bien heureuse que Milène et André soient enfin près de vous.
La petite Kitty avec son visage sérieux, paisible et ardent, est une enfant qui ne ressemble pas
aux enfants de son âge. Pourrais vous parler d’elle pendant des heures. Son bonheur d’être avec
Théodore et Denise.
Prenez Véra dans vos bras et embrassez-la pour moi. Mon Dieu que je regrette ce merveilleux
temps où nous nous voyions si sérieux. Je crois que nous n’aimons plus à partir, vous ni moi, et
cela fait le monde entre nous.
Vous embrasse tous deux de tout cœur
NB
P.-S. Merci pour le programme de Washington. Quelle nostalgie !!

My very dear Nadia, we are now back,
Very beautiful performance of the whole program before a room* filled with Mr. and Mrs.
Bliss’s invited guests—you can imagine their reaction and the nature of their applause. Imagine
when they thanked me for their ettiquette. It’s really all we should expect from people who don’t
know better.
Is it true that the U.S.A. will see you again this year? Say yes.

Miss Nadia Boulanger
36 rue Ballu, 9th
Paris, France
April 19, 1947
Carissima Nadia,
Instead of Paris, here we are embarking for Washington, where Mrs. Bliss is waiting for me for
my Dumbarton Oaks Concerto that I will conduct in Dumbarton Oaks itself. It's been nine years
since you yourself conducted the premiere. Your shadow (or rather your light) will be evoked
with dignity. We are passing through NY where I am rehearsing with the musicians. The concert
at Dumbarton O. is April 25 and the next day the same program in public. The program:
Vivaldi D Minor Concerto
Mozart Divertimento in D Major (no. 11) with oboe and two horns
Stravinsky D.O. Concerto
Falla Harpsichord Concerto
Stravinsky D.O. Concerto (second time)
The decision to postpone our trip to Europe was very beneficial for me even though I had to live
through some rather difficult times before regaining my equilibrium and continuing my work.
This work, as you probably know, is Orpheus. Balanchine is expecting it in the autumn. Its
premiere—probably the end of November. Two thirds (including orchestration) already done. I
have great hopes that you will like this music.
What a joy to finally have Milène here and also to see her so happy. All three of them shine with
happiness.
Attached are two little pages that require your signature, without which it’s impossible to renew
the registration on your car. Vera, who's packing the suitcases right now and who sends you her
love, lent this car to a young man just back from the war who had not a cent to his name but who
has a wife and two children. You will make this young man happy in returning these two little
sheets filled in with your kind signature to us,* if possible by return post (and by air mail).
I will write to you after our return from Washington, i.e., after May 4, and in the meantime
please find here, carissima Nadia, my affectionate love and many, many kisses from,
Always yours,
I Str
�[P.S.] Have you received my Ode, that has finally been published? This is not so that you thank
me, but to know if it reached you.
*Before a Witness (and their address). Don’t forget a legal signature complete with a “stamp.”

Carissima Nadia,
Nous voila au lieu de Paris, embarques pour Washington ou Mme Bliss m’attent [sic] pour mon
Dumbarton Oaks Concerto que je dirigerai a Dumbarton Oaks meme. Il y a 9 ans vous l’aviez
dirige vous en premiere. Votre ombre (plutôt votre lumière) sera evoquee dignement. Nous
passons par NY ou je repete avec les musiciens. Le 25 avril le concert a Dumbarton O. et le
lendemain le meme programme en public. Le programme :
Vivaldi Concerto en RE min
Mozart Divertimento en RE maj. (No. 11) avec Hautb. Et 2 Cors
Stravinsky D.O. Concerto
Falla Concerto p. Clavecin
Stravinsky D.O. Concerto (deuxieme fois)
La decision d’ajourner notre voyage en Europe fut tres salutaire pour moi bien que j’ai [sic] du
[sic] passer par des journees assez penibles avent de reprendre l’equilibre et de continuer mon
travail. Ce travail, comme vous le savez probablement, est Orphée. Balanchine l’attend pour
l’automne. Sa premiere—probablement fin novembre. Deux tiers (orchestration comprise) deja
faites. J’ai grand espoir que vous aimerez cette musique.
Quel bonheur d’avoir enfin Milene ici et aussi de la voir si heureuse. Tous les trois rayonnent de
bonheur.
Ci-joint deux petites feuilles qui reclament votre signature sans laquelle impossible de renouveler
la license de votre voiture. Vera qui fait les bagages en ce moment-ci et qui vous envoie ses
affections, preta cette voiture a un jeune homme revenu de la guerre qui n’a pas le sou mais qui a
une femme et deux enfants. Vous le rendrez heureux, ce jeune homme, en nous renvoyant ces
deux petites feuilles munies de votre sympathique signature, *) si possible par ret. du cr. et par
avion.
Je vous ecrirai apres notre retour de Washington, c. a d. apres le 4 mai et en attendant veuillez
trouver ici carissima Nadia my affectionate love and many, many kisses from
Always yours

�[P.-S.] Avez-vous recu mon Ode, enfin parue ? Ce n’est pas pour que vous me remerciez mais
pour savoir si cela vous est parvenu.
