It was necessary that your union take this definitive form, and I know that it’s what Catherine would have wanted. I seem far away, but I followed with a profound joy your winter, your activity, and its great results. There are those who will never understand, there are those for whom you have provided guidance. And, by being yourself, you illuminate for them the past and guide their future. It was so beautiful, so good, and so necessary that you gave this concert. We were, for example, overwhelmed by Preger’s case who, having wanted at all costs to serve, has fallen ill, both lungs to be reopened after several weeks in the barracks. He must spend a year in a sanatorium, and without your help, we could not insure him. Mrs. Loudon is the president of our small committee. No meetings, no publicity, but true, active support. We have given concerts to armies with orchestras made up of professional musicians brought together through the officers’ efforts, an admirable initiative that did so much good for those who command so humanely, as well as for those who performed. All this said too hastily, but I haven’t a minute. With great fondness for Vera and you, I am, with all my heart, your Nadia B. � Boulanger à Stravinsky 36 rue Ballu 5 avril 1940 Cher Igor, Où vous rejoindra ce mot—je ne sais, mais je voudrais que vous sachiez que je suis de tout cœur avec vous deux. Il fallait que votre union prit cette forme définitive, et je sais que c’est bien ainsi que l’aurait désiré Catherine. Je suis loin en apparence, mais j’ai suivi votre hiver, votre activité, et leur [sic] résultats si grands, avec une profonde joie. Il y a ceux qui ne comprendront jamais, il y a ceux pour lesquels vous avez fixé l’orientation. Et, en étant vous-même, vous éclairez pour eux le passé et construisez leur avenir. Que vous ayez donné ce concert est si beau, si bien, et si nécessaire. Nous étions par exemple, bouleversés par le cas de Preger qui, ayant voulu coûte que coûte servir, est tombé malade, les deux poumons rouverts, après quelques semaines de caserne. Il lui faut un an de sanatorium, sans vous, nous ne pourions [sic] pas les lui assurer. C’est Madame Loudon qui est présidente de notre petit comité. Pas de réunions, pas de publicité, mais un vrai soutien, actif. Nous avons donné des concerts aux armées avec les orchestres formés de musiciens professionnels réunis par le soin des officiers, admirable initiative qui crée un tel bien entre ceux qui commandent si humainement, et ceux qui exécutent. Tout cela dit bien hâtivement, mais je n’ai pas une minute.

We hope to see you soon in January, when we will be in Boston for the week of my concerts. The Forbeses have invited us to come down to their place—it’s very kind on their part. I am writing them a letter to thank them. I’ll accept their invitation [if] it also allows us to see you for a little longer. How I missed your absence in Chicago (or in Cincinnati) where I had some beautiful performances of my Symphony! In Boston, where Koussevitzky wanted me to conduct as well (for rehearsals of Oedipus Rex, too), they asked me to supply the orchestral material, i.e., to pay for the rental [of the parts]. I am quite afraid that this very unexpected condition will make the performance nearly impossible. I have never paid for the rental of my compositions, never, anywhere. It would be all the stranger for me to do this at the Boston Symphony, i.e., chez Koussevitzky where I have always been considered a “member of the family.” Someone has probably made a mess, imposing this ludicrous condition on me behind Koussevitzky’s back, and I want to hope that he will intervene to cancel it. See you soon, Nadia, with sincere affection. Yours, Igor Stravinsky [P.S.] We are here until December 13, then in Minneapolis for a week, then coming back here for January 10. [P.P.S.] With tender thoughts, I am very impatient to see you soon. —Your Vera � Stravinsky à Boulanger 4 Decembre 1940 Ma très chère Nadia, J’étais si heureux d’avoir votre mot.

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.

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.

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.

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. Immaginez-vous[sic] que ces idiots de l’Associated Music Publishers ont expedie a Londres (pour des executions eventuelles[sic]) un complet de ma symphonie avant qu’ils ayent [sic] recu vos corrections!!!!!! J’attends donc avec une double impatience votre reponse. Desole [sic] de vous savoir en mauvais etat de sante vous prie de me donner, ne serait-ce que par exception, des details. Est-ce que c’est les nerfs, l’insomnie ou des choses plus importantes encore ? Je suis tres inquiet. Viens de recevoir une lettre de Theodore qui, le pauvre, etait emmene par deux gendarmes dans un camp de concentration pres de Toulouse ou il a passe quatre affreuses journees crevant de faim resultat de mesure prise par le gouvernement contre tous les russes sans exception (rouges ou blancs) apres la rupture des relations diplomatiques avec les soviets . 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 ! L’autre jour a Mexico quelqu’un m’avait demande si j’etais pour Petain ou comme beaucoup de francais [sic] ici « Degaullistes », je leur ai repondu que je suis Degueuliste. Tres affectueusement, Votre I.
