Could you arrange it so that we have seats together (Marcelle, Haïeff, my godchild and his fiancée) Vera and me? In other words, I will take five seats next to Vera. It will be so good to meet up for such an occasion. Would Vera truly take care of it for me? The Concerto went well, and seems clearer, more beautiful to me after this new work. The musicians were all happy to work with such diligent care. It is so good to see them understand it and to find therein a calm and dignity too often forgotten. How I wish I were able to tell you all that I know—but I express myself so poorly—and besides, your music does not need us to “speak” about it, thank Heaven. I am sending you a program. I believe you would have loved the whole thing, and this is a source of courage for me, to have lived in your shadow, [and] by your truth.

It seems we will see you this winter; I don’t need to tell you how delighted I am and how great my need is to see you and to speak to you. So many things to tell you . . . and so, just the other day I received a wonderful package that I must, I think, thank you for, because it was sent by a certain Moreys Southern Sea Shop from Santa Barbara. Thank you with all my heart, dear Nadia. I am moved to see that with all you have to do you still find the time to think of us. Despite the end of the war it is not yet ideal here. Without being pessimistic, I fear that this winter will again be a bit harsh. We will try to be patient, but pray that it will be the last of its kind! The Léo Preger competition was such a joy for us. He is a serious musician, modest to such an extent that his marvelous talent goes unnoticed by all those here who should be interested in helping him. I find it very beautiful and meaningful that this encouragement brought him here. Did you know that he is currently writing a piano concerto, the premiere of which he was kind enough to promise to me? My father was able to send along some of his recent compositions. Imagine what it has been like for me to discover the Circus Polka, the Scherzo à la Russe, the extraordinary Sonata for Two Pianos, and finally the Tango from which I have not yet recovered! Truly, I cannot find the words to tell you all that I [illegible], all that I find and rediscover in the works, and how much all of this impresses me. And how is it we were not reunited with you and him around these marvels? In this inestimable collection is also the Danses concertantes. Désormière conducted them twice this winter, I must say, impeccably so. Personally, I played them innumerable times on two pianos with François Michel. Remembering how they sound and feel to play, I attempted to write a version for two hands. My effort seems to me to have been rather successful. I am going to send it to my father and, with his adjustments, maybe he will have it published. My father wrote that he had just finished a symphony and will give the premiere at the New York Philharmonic at the beginning of October. How I envy your being there to hear it. He also asked me in his last letter how the Symphony in C was received. Unfortunately, the performance of it was so flawed one couldn’t really hold it against the audience for, on the whole, having understood nothing. For my part, I had to attempt a veritable reconstruction of the piece upon hearing it along with what I could guess, because it truly did not even remotely come through. But what did materialize seemed to me beautiful and of a stunning grandeur. �To speak of other things, Françoise and I were able to escape to the seaside for a month, close to Arcachon. This vacation was marvelous and did a world of good for both mother and child. Still nothing to tell you regarding the baby. Of course we will keep you informed of the birth that will likely happen at the end of October. In the meantime, Françoise has asked me to pass along her fond regards. Dear Nadia, I must stop, I truly abuse your patience with this unending chatter. I am fondly and with my most faithful affection forever your Sviétik Str. [P.S.] Nika Skarjinsky has returned from a remarkable imprisonment, marvelous morale. I have been so happy to see this excellent friend and comrade once again. � Soulima Stravinsky à Boulanger 56 rue de Bougagne, Paris le 27 août–14 sept 1945 Chère Nadia, Nous avons eu récemment de vos bonnes nouvelles par Léo Preger. Il semble qu’on vous verra ici cet hiver ; je n’ai pas besoin de vous dire combien cela me réjouit et comme j’ai besoin de vous voir et de vous parler. Que de choses à vous dire…Et puis, j’ai reçu ces jours-ci un somptueux colis que je dois, je pense, à votre bonté, car il est expédié par un certain Moreys Southern Seas Shop de Sta. Barbara. Merci de tout cœur, chère Nadia. Je suis ému de voir qu’avec tout ce que vous avez à faire vous trouvez encore le temps de vous occuper de nous. Malgré la fin de la guerre ce n’est pas encore le rêve ici. Sans être pessimiste je crains que cet hiver ne soit encore un peu rude. Nous tâcherons de le prendre une patience, mais qu’il soit au moins le dernier de cette espèce ! Quelle joie a été pour nous le prix de Léo Preger. C’est un musicien si sérieux, si modeste aussi que son merveilleux talent passe inaperçu de tous ceux qui ici, devraient s’intéresser à lui et l’aider. Je trouve très beau et significatif que cet encouragement lui vienne de là-bas. Savez-vous qu’il est en train d’écrire un concerto de piano dont il a eu la gentille pensée de me promettre la première ? Mon père a pu me faire parvenir de ses récentes compositions. Imaginez ce qu’a été pour moi la découverte de la « Circus Polka, » du « Scherzo à la Russe, » de l’extraordinaire Sonate pr. 2 pianos, enfin de la Tango dont je ne reviens pas encore ! Sincèrement, les paroles me manquent pour vous dire tout ce que je [illegible], tout ce que j’y trouve et retrouve, et combien tout ceci m’impressionne. Que ne sommes-nous réunis avec vous et lui autour de ces merveilles ? Dans cet inestimable lot se trouvait aussi la part d’orch. des Danses Concertantes. Désormière les a dirigés deux fois cet hiver et, je dois le dire, impeccablement. Pour ma part, je les ai jouées un nombre incalculable de fois à 2 pianos avec François Michel. Les ayant si bien dans l’oreille et dans les doigts, je me suis hasardé à en tirer une version à deux mains. Ce travail me semble avoir assez bien réussi. Je vais l’envoyer à mon père et avec ses retouches, peut-être pourra-t-il le faire publier. Mon père écrit qu’il vient d’achever une symphonie et en donnera la première à la Philharmonic de N.Y. en début d’octobre. Comme je vous envie d’être là pour l’entendre. Il me demande aussi dans sa dernière lettre comment on a accueilli ici sa Symphonie en ut ? Hélas, l’éxécution [sic] en a été si défectueuse qu’on ne saurait en vouloir au public de n’y avoir, somme toute, rien compris. J’ai dû, pour ma part, me livrer en l’écoutant à une véritable reconstitution avec ce que je pouvais deviner, car véritablement il n’en passait pas grand-chose. Mais ce qui m’est parvenu m’a paru d’une beauté, d’une grandeur boulversante [sic]. �Pour parler d’autre chose, nous avons pu, Françoise et moi, nous échapper un mois au bord de la mer, près d’Arcachon. Ces vacances ont été merveilleuses et ont fait, je crois, le plus grand bien à la mère et à l’enfant. De celui-ci, encore rien à vous raconter. Bien entendu nous vous tiendrons au courant de l’évènement qui s’annonce pour la fin d’octobre probablement. En attendant, Françoise me charge de vous dire ses très affectueuses pensées. Chère Nadia, il faut que je m’arrête, j’abuse vraiment de votre patience avec cet interminable bavardage. Je vous embrasse de ma plus fidèle affection et suis toujours votre Sviétik Str.

Strawinsky 1260 North Wetherly Drive Hollywood 46 California July 28, 1944 How kind and good you are. Thank you with all my heart. We are working on the Sonata here for the Sisters and it is such a joy. We’re preparing Palestrina’s St. Dominic Mass, and the Mass and the Sonata illuminate one other—they present the same problems, fundamentally—and the material is so beautiful. Oh, how the two pianos sound . . . No need for effusions, you know what I think better than I do! To both of you, with all my heart, Nadia [P.S.] Everyone here is talking about you! Sister Edward and Sister Ignatia send many thoughts to you. � Boulanger à Stravinsky Edgewood College 1000 Edgewood Avenue Madison, Wisconsin Monsieur I. Strawinsky 1260 North Wetherly Drive Hollywood 46 California 28 juillet 1944 Que vous êtes gentil, et bon. Merci de tout cœur. Nous travaillons la Sonate ici, pour les Sœurs, et c’est une telle joie. Préparons une messe de Palestrina pour la St. Dominic, et le Messe et la Sonate s’éclairent mutuellement, mêmes problèmes, au fond, et si belle matière. Comme les deux pianos sonnent… Allons, pas d’effusions, vous savez ce que je pense mieux que moi! A vous deux de tout cœur Nadia [P.-S.] Tout le monde parle de vous ici! Sister Edward et Sister Ignatia vous envoient tant de souvenirs. � 1944 Author: Nadia Boulanger Igor Location: California Nadia Location: Edgewood College Recipient: Igor Stravinsky Sister Edward Blackwell Sister Ignatia Dourney https://digex.lib.uoguelph.ca/files/original/8988db71a3d7769f53cf60e2cf5a70c1.pdf 9d28840a24517c8d3c5afa7cc2cd9c4d https://digex.lib.uoguelph.ca/files/original/dcd853b87ae66bfd8b3d8f2ea8fd5d64.pdf 16bf361807c2192e4dff5ed2edc284ef Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Strawinsky 1260 North Wetherly Drive Hollywood California Nov. 28, 1942 Dear Friend, I’m ashamed by my long silence—it is not my fault, please believe me. Work is crazy, [I am] extremely stressed about whether a glimmer of hope has appeared. The terrible sacrifices, the endless suffering, demanding superhuman courage to have been submitted to the worst moral torture for two years, [torture that] grips the heart and no longer allows freedom of thought. I know, one must trust in God, and I bow my head without a whisper, but how can I not fearfully think about what awaits those whom we love. How I pity you—because the silence that walls them in leaves us only room to worry. You will tell me “it’s far too easy to worry,” but—we know well that our hearts tremble if they hope and withdraw to pray more fervently. Oh, how I miss Vera and you. Your presence is such a necessity for the heart and mind. But, unfortunately, California is far. Saint-Exupéry has been a great comfort. He is so strong, so good, but he leaves any day now to join Giraud, and now, having found peace for himself, he will finally have the opportunity to act. Excuse me for not having corrected the Sonata still. If you knew my life, you would understand. I will get to it, I promise you, after the 20th. Another thing, very pressing, the Lili Boulanger fund has a prize of $500 to distribute. The young Alexï [sic] Haïeff has written a very good symphony in the right direction. Will you trust me and vote for him? You will be doing him a great service, which he deserves for his talent, his work, his seriousness—and his solitude. He lives only to write, and to earn a living, gives lessons, and he is not one of those who knows how to overdo things. I would not allow myself to ask you this if I did not know for sure you would be in agreement if you saw the symphony. It is—almost morning, and I can no longer find my words. With fondness, I am wholeheartedly, Your Nadia B � Boulanger à Stravinsky 122 Bay State Road Boston, Massachusetts Kenmore 7277 Monsieur I. Strawinsky 1260 North Wetherly Drive Hollywood California 28 nov. 1942 Cher Ami, Ce long silence me fait honte—il n’est pas de ma faute—croyez-le bien—travail fou— tension extrême car si une lueur d’espoir est apparue, les affreux sacrifices, les souffrances sans fin, exigeant un courage surhumain d’être soumis depuis deux ans à la pire des tortures morales, serrent le cœur et ne laissent plus de liberté à la pensée. Je sais, il faut faire confiance à Dieu—et je m’incline sans murmurer—mais comment pourrais-je ne pas songer avec terreur à ce qui attend ceux que nous aimons. Que je vous plains—car ce silence qui les emmure maintenant ne laisse place pour nous qu’à l’inquiétude. Vous me direz : « trop facile vraiment de s’inquiéter, » mais—nous savons bien que notre cœur tremble, s’il espère et se replie pour prier avec plus de ferveur. Que vous me manquez Vera et vous. Votre présence est une telle nécessité du cœur et de l’esprit. Mais, hélas, la Californie est loin. Saint[-]Exupéry a été d’un grand secours—il est si solide—si bien—mais il part d’un jour à l’autre rejoindre Giraud, et maintenant a trouvé, lui, une tranquillité, puisqu’il va lui être donné d’agir enfin. Pardon de n’avoir pas corrigé encore la Sonate, si vous pourriez [sic] vous représenter ma vie, vous comprendriez. Je vais m’en occuper, je vous promets, après le 20. Autre chose—très pressé, le Lili Boulanger Fund a un prix de 500 dollars a [sic] distribuer. La jeune Alexï Haïeff a écrit une symphonie très bien dans la bonne direction. Voulez-vous me faire confiance [et] voter pour lui. Vous lui rendriez un grand service, mérité par son talent, son travail, son sérieux—et sa solitude. Il ne vit que pour écrire, et gagner sa vie, en donnant des leçons—et il n’est pas de ceux qui savent se pousser. Je ne me permettrais pas de vous demander cela si je ne me sentais pas sûre, que vous seriez d’accord si vous voyiez la symphonie. Il est—presque le matin, et je ne trouve plus mes mots— je vous embrasse tous deux et suis de tout cœur votre Nadia B � 1942 Antoine Saint-Exupéry Author: Nadia Boulanger Henri Giraud Igor Location: California Nadia Location: Boston Recipient: Igor Stravinsky Vera Stravinsky
