Strawinsky 25 Faubourg St. Honoré Paris, France May 15, 1938 Dear Friend, I have not been able to write you, because the life I lead is an impossible problem. But I must, all the same, tell you what a joy the concert was at the Blisses’ on the 8th. I knew, but did not know at all, the joy I would find in performing the Concerto—and upon listening to it, I have understood once again [things that] I wouldn’t know how to tell you. I can’t express it, but such loneliness is a certainty in my life. And, after all the courses dedicated to your music, I believe that I understand all the better. The Concerto was played honestly, well, very well—and was understood, I believe. There remain many mistakes—and a few problems—I hope that you can wait for my return before printing it, because it seems to me that a few passages should be modified in places (insufficient repeats, the notation, etc.) and I cannot formulate the list at this time—I work almost night and day. How can I thank you? And how can I prove to you such great devotion? You have clarified everything, not only through your works, but also by the clarity they project onto all music. You have given us ears and a conscience! I cannot tear myself away from the Concerto— everything has such an unexpected sound! I think of you and your family with deep affection, and am close to you through these heavy, anxious times. May God be with you and bring peace. This helplessness in the face of sickness is so frightful. Your Nadia [P.S.] You must know that the Blisses were deeply moved by the Concerto and are so thankful. � Boulanger à Stravinsky Gargenville S.O. 25 Aout 1938 Cher Ami Voici enfin mon pauvre petit chèque.

I want to finalize this and without fear of the least indiscretion—send an urgent telegraph because the OSP must decide by Tuesday at the latest.
