Thank you as well for your kind letter, which I am very embarrassed not to have answered until today. Is Madame Boulanger doing a bit better, is she suffering a bit less? I cannot express how much I am affected by her long, painful suffering. I send my sympathy to you and to her. I will probably see you again soon, which delights me greatly. I intend to come to Paris for a couple of days at the end of May. Perhaps you will see my father beforehand because he leaves for Paris this week to record L’Histoire du soldat and the Octuor. I believe he wants to see you about me. I have every intention of seeing Philipp to get some technical advice and some guidelines from him for my work. It needs to be done without offending Madame Chailley at all and therein, it seems to me, lies the difficulty. I am sure you will give me good advice about this and, in waiting to see you again soon, when I can tell you all that I have done this winter, I send to you, my very dear Mademoiselle, my most devoted affection and to Madame Boulanger my utmost respect. Your Sviatoslav Strawinsky � Soulima Stravinsky à Boulanger Voreppe le 3 mai [19]32 Chère Mademoiselle, Nous avons été très touchés de votre bonne pensée pour le jour de Pâques et nous vous en remercions tous de tout cœur. Merci aussi pour votre si gentille lettre à laquelle je suis très confus de ne répondre qu’aujourd’hui. Madame Boulanger va-t-elle un peu mieux, souffre-t-elle un peu moins ? Je ne saurais vous dire combien je suis affecté de cette longue et pénible souffrance et combien cela me cause de peine pour elle et pour vous. Je vous reverrai bientôt probablement et m’en réjouis beaucoup. Je compte venir à Paris pour quelques jours fin mai. Vous verrez peut-être mon père avant car il part à Paris cette semaine pour enregistrer L’Histoire du Soldat et l’Octour. Je crois qu’il veut vous voir pour une question me concernant. J’ai l’intention de voir Philipp pour recevoir de lui quelques conseils d’ordre technique et quelques directives pour mon travail. Il s’agit d’autre part de le faire sans offenser aucunement Madame Chailley et c’est là, il me semble, une difficulté. Vous me donnerez je suis sûr, un bon conseil pour cela et en attendant de vous revoir bientôt et de vous raconter tout ce qui j’ai fait cet hiver, je vous envoie, bien chère Mademoiselle, mon plus dévoué attachement et à Madame Boulanger mes plus respectueux hommages.

Gutheil September 5, 1931 Dear Mademoiselle, I sent you the new proofs of Stravinsky’s Symphonie de psaumes (piano/vocal) yesterday by registered mail along with the exemplar of the first edition that you corrected. I would ask you to look at these proofs at your first available opportunity and to return them to me as soon as will be possible for you. This urgency is caused by the fact that the first edition of the score has been sold out to the last copy for quite some time, and we have been forced to refuse requests for this work, which is most unpleasant for both the composer and the editor. The new printing is therefore very urgent, especially because we must give several performances of the Symphonie during the first months of this upcoming season. In the hopes that you will understand this S.O.S. call and thanking you in advance, please accept my most respectful sentiments, Madame. Sincerely, G.

Je me permets de vous prier de regarder ces épreuves à votre premier moment libre et de me les renvoyer aussi vite que ce sera possible pour vous. Cette urgence est causée par le fait que la première édition de cette partition s’est épuisée jusqu’au dernier exemplaire il y a déjà un bon moment et nous sommes obligés de refuser les demandes pour cette œuvre ce qui est très désagréable pour le compositeur et pour l’éditeur. Le nouveau tirage presse donc beaucoup d’autant plus que nous devons avoir beaucoup d’exécutions de cette Symphonie pendant les premiers mois de cette saison. Espérant que vous voudrez bien entendre cet appel de S.O.S. et vous remerciant d’avance, je vous prie, chère Mademoiselle, de croire à mes sentiments respectueux. G.

U.S.A. April 6, 1938 Very dear friend, Received your cable this morning. Last night I received, on engraved proofs from Strecker, pages 27–37 (inclusive) of the last movement of my Concerto in E-flat. I have just finished correcting them and am sending them to you on the SS Europa. There are still some seven to eight pages yet to come and I will send them to you as soon as I have them (next week). You can therefore create the parts from what you have because [if you were to] work from the manuscript—which has many missing bowings (and also quite a few mistakes that I have not had the time to correct)—you would have serious difficulty establishing correct parts. I will try again to obtain a special printing from Strecker for you.* Refer only to the copy (for the orchestral parts) that you’ve already received from me (that being the corrected proofs of the first and second movements) and which I’m sending you today. It was very unexpected, this obsession with having our concert on the first of May, and has taken us by surprise. I am hopeful that everything will sort itself out, especially when I think that it is you who will be handling everything. With deepest affection, Your Igor Strawinsky [P.S.] Have you been able to speak to Mrs. Bliss on the subject of our last conversation? *because you will be returning your own [current copy] in order to complete the parts. � Stravinsky à Boulanger Paris Mademoiselle Nadia Boulanger 63 Garden Street, Cambridge, Mass. U.S.A. 6 April 1938 Très chère amie, Votre câble reçu ce matin. Hier soir reçu de Strecker les pages 27-37 incl. du dernier mouvement de mon Concerto en mi bémol en épreuves gravées. Je viens de les corriger et vous les envoie par le S/S EUROPA. Il nous reste que quelques 7 à 8 pages de la fin que je vous enverrai dès que je les aurai (la semaine prochaine). Vous pouvez donc faire établir les parties d’après ce que vous avez car d’après le manuscrit, où il y a beaucoup de coups d’archet qui manquent (et où il y a également pas mal de fautes que je n’avais pas eu le temps de corriger) on aurait de la peine à établir un matériel correct. Je tâcherai d’obtenir de Strecker encore un tirage spécial pour vous*. Rendez seulement à la copie (pour les parties d’orchestre) ce que vous avez déjà de chez moi (soit les épreuves corrigées de la 1-ère et de la 2-ème partie) et ce que je vous envoie aujourd’hui. C’était vraiment inattendu cette fixation au 1er mai de notre concert et cela nous a pris au dépourvu. Je veux espérer que tout s’arrangera et que tout se passera bien surtout quand je pense que c’est vous qui aurez tout cela en mains.

We are very grateful to you for having honestly shared your feelings and your point of view with us. Unfortunately, it differs significantly from our own, but as you have given us your promise that, in appearance, you will support us, we are firmly counting on you. Besides, the attitude to take right now concerning young people is to interfere in no way in their relationships. The young woman will return to America soon; one need neither try to make her return, nor oppose it, but as for the future, leave it all up to the will of God, because it is not up to us to unite or separate them. It is only important that Nini does not extend any formal promises, that is all. I hope that everything is now clear between us. I have not yet thanked you for having thought of us (Nini’s performance). Your telegram was a great joy for us all. Sviétik wrote to me that he will defer his exams until next year. So much the better! We approve of it entirely. It was an effort well beyond his abilities as he now understands. I will finish this letter by thanking you very sincerely for all the interest you have shown our son and for your kind friendship toward us. Believe that I am, dear Friend, your cordially devoted, C. Stravinsky � Catherine Stravinsky à Boulanger Nice le 7 mai 1931 Chère Amie, Merci beaucoup de votre lettre si sincère qui nous rassure. Nous vous sommes très reconnaissants de nous avoir exposé en toute franchise vos sentiments et votre point de vue ; il diffère malheureusement sensiblement de nôtre [sic] mais comme vous nous donnez la promesse de nous soutenir quoiqu’en apparence nous comptons fermement sur vous. Du reste l’attitude à prendre maintenant vis-à-vis des jeunes gens est de n’intervenir d’aucune façon dans leurs rapports. La jeune fille retournera bientôt en Amérique; il ne faut ni tâcher de la faire revenir, ni s’y opposer, mais laisser tout à la volonté de Dieu quant à l’avenir, car ce n’est pas à nous de les unir ou de les séparer. Il importe seulement que Nini ne se lie pas de promesse formelle, voilà tout. J’espère que tout est clair entre nous maintenant. Je ne vous ai pas encore remerciée d’avoir pensé à nous (l’audition de Nini). Votre télégramme nous a fait à tous grand plaisir. Sviétik m’écrit qu’il remet ses examens à l’année prochaine. Tant mieux ? Nous l’approuvons entièrement. C’était un effort vraiment audissus [sic] de ses forces comme il l’a compris maintenant.

He spoke to me quite frankly about it and I told him all our thoughts on the subject. I would like to share a few words with you regarding it as well. My husband and I are not very sympathetic toward the idea of a marriage to someone from outside our race and religion, a marriage which above all else seems very much premature to us, seeing as Sviétik is still practically a child. Nor can we forget that he is preparing himself for a career as a pianist, which particularly complicates his case. Indeed, this field requires a great deal of travel and a lifestyle that, in our opinion, at least at the beginning of artistic life, does not lend itself well to starting a family (children are always to be expected). Moreover, one must remember that he still depends on us entirely, that he is only a student of music and that he is not yet an established artist, earning his own living. For two years now, Sviétik has lived most of his life away from his family, and under these conditions it has been difficult for us to exert an influence over him. It seems to us, dear friend, that you are the best placed to help us with our difficulties. Permit us to believe you do not think harshly of us for troubling you with our concerns. As for the sentimental side of this affair, and without wanting to rush anything, we beg you to support our point of view around Sviétik so that he sees, among all those who matter to him, a uniform opinion on the questions that are tormenting him. I say this to you freely, because it seems to us Sviétik is inclined to believe that you welcome favorably the idea of this union so desired by him. As for us, we do not want Sviétik tied up by promises that perhaps shouldn’t be fulfilled. I have suggested (and this so as to not sadden him entirely) that he wait at least a year to return to the overall question of marriage. I think that you share our views, which is why we have addressed this in all frankness and in an appeal to your good friendship and would like to count firmly on your support and it is in this hope that I extend to you, dear Mademoiselle, my best wishes, Catherine Stravinsky [P.S.] Please do forgive this slightly confusing letter, but having been extremely busy these last few days I did not have time to put everything in order in this hurriedly written letter because I would like for you to read it before Sviétik’s arrival � Catherine Stravinsky à Boulanger Nice le 8 avril 1931 Chère Mademoiselle, Permettez-moi de vous écrire ces lignes au sujet d’une question concernant Sviétik qui me préocupe [sic] beaucoup. Il m’en a parlé très franchement et je lui ai dit tout ce que nous en pensons. Je voudrais vous en dire aussi quelques mots. Mon mari et moi nous ne sympathisons pas beaucoup à l’idée d’un mariage avec une étrangère de race et de religion, mariage qui avant tout nous semble vraiment trop prématuré, vu que Sviétik est encore lui-même, un demi-enfant. Il ne faut pas oublier non plus qu’il se prépare pour une carrière de pianiste ce qui complique particulièrement son cas. En effet, ce métier demande une vie mouvementée, des voyages, vie qui à notre avis, ou plustôt [sic] début de vie artistique, ne se conforme pas très bien à un début de vie de famille (des enfants sont toujours à prévoir). D’autre part il faut savoir qu’il dépend encore entièrement de nous, qu’il n’est qu’étudiant en musique et qu’il n’est pas encore un artiste achevé, gagnant sa vie lui-même. Depuis deux ans Sviétik vit la plupart de l’année hors de sa famille et il nous est très difficile d’exercer sur lui dans ces conditions une influence suivie. Vous, chère amie, vous êtes, il nous semble, le mieux placée pour nous venir en aide dans nos difficultés. Permettez-nous de croire que vous ne nous figuerez [sic] pas trop sévèrement de vous embarrasser [sic] par nos préoccupations. Tout en ménageant le côté sentimental de l’affaire et sans vouloir rien brusquer, nous vous prions de soutenir auprès de Sviétik notre point de vue pour qu’il voie chez tous ceux qui comptent pour lui une conformité d’opinion sur les questions qui le tourmentent. Je me permets de vous le dire car il nous semble que Sviétik est enclin à croire que vous accueillez favorablement l’idée de cette union si désirée par lui. Quant à nous nous ne voulons pas que Sviétik se lie par des promesses qui ne devront peut-être pas se réaliser. Je lui ai dit (et ce pour ne pas l’atrisser [sic] entre mesure) qu’il attende un an au moins pour revenir en général sur la question mariage. Je pense que vous partagez nos idées, c’est pourquoi nous vous adressons en toute franchise à votre bonne amitié et voudrions compter fermement sur votre appui et c’est dans cet espoir que je vous prie de trouver ici chère Mademoiselle l’expression de mes sentiments bien cordialement dévoués, Catherine Stravinsky Excusez, je vous prie, cette lettre un peu confuse mais étant très prise tous ces jours-ci je n’ai pas le temps de mettre de l’ordre dans cette lettre écrite à la hâte car je voudrais que vous la lisiez avant l’arrivée de Sviétik. � 1931 Author: Catherine Stravinsky Recipient: Nadia Boulanger Soulima Stravinsky Sviétik
