I only had one new score, the second one—and this makes the work more uncertain, because I have the feeling that I’m forgetting piles of details—moreover, I’ve had to accept, with much gratitude, to go teach at Sister Edward’s Convent where I’ll be from June 18 to June 26—going afterward to Santa Barbara (assuming this is still possible!) I would have to find the right score here with the already corrected parts, around the 15th or 20th of August (I have to go to Canada again for my visa to be changed to a Professor Visa) and I will do everything that is possible. But the truth is that new parts must be created, and this I cannot take on. The student who wanted to do it will not be here for months, unfortunately, and Barbara does not have the means to assume such work. Ultimately, I will do all that I can—if you knew how painful it is to write, you would understand why I’ve really not been able to do it. It is peculiar, I was convinced I wrote to you several weeks ago, when I spoke with you about the house, about this summer—was it actually a dream? I suddenly have doubts, and yet I can even remember what I told you. I don’t know myself, anymore! My love to both of you, NB [P.S.] I hope to give you the Ave Maria next week. But . . . so many promises have already been made to me that I don’t believe anything anymore—still, I have Noces, Apollon, Symphonie de psaumes, Sérénade, etc. . . . [P.P.S.] Am distressed. � Boulanger à Stravinsky Gerry’s Landing Cambridge, Massachusetts Throwbridge 78-89 30 mai 1941 Cher Igor, Pardon de mon silence—mais tout l’excuse—d’abord l’état d’affreuse préoccupation où nous sommes tous, puis, la maladie de l’élève qui devait m’aider à travailler pour vous, enfin, un bras qu’a rendu écrire très difficile tous ces mois-ci (en tombant...horriblement froissé des muscles, et des nerfs encore très douloureux.) Je n’avais qu’un matériel neuf, la 2de partition—et cela rend le travail des plus douteux, car j’ai l’impression d’oublier des tas de détails—de plus, j’ai dû accepter, avec quelle gratitude, d’aller enseigner au Couvent de Sister Edward où je serai du 18 Juin [sic] au 26 Juillet [sic]—allant ensuite à Santa Barbara (en admettant que tout cela soit encore possible !) Il faudrait que je trouve la bonne partition ici avec le matériel déjà corrigé, vers le 15 ou 20 août (il faut encore aller au Canada pour que mon visa soit changé en Professor Visa) et je ferai tout ce qu’il est possible—mais la vérité c’est qu’il faudrait faire un matériel neuf—et cela je ne peux l’entreprendre—l’élève qui voulait le faire ne sera pas en étant[sic] d’ici des mois. Hélas, et Barbara n’a pas les moyens de se charger d’un tel travail. Enfin, je ferai tout ce que je pourrai— si vous saviez combien c’est pénible d’écrire, vous comprendriez pourquoi je n’ai vraiment pas pu le faire. C’est singulier, j’étais persuadée vous avoir écrit, il y a quelques semaines, quand je vous ai parlé de la maison, de cet été—est-ce vraiment un rêve ?—J’ai tout-à-coup des doutes—et pourtant, je croyais même me souvenir de ce que je vous disais. Je ne sais plus moi-même ! Je vous embrasse tous deux, avec la plus profonde affection. NB [P.-S.] J’espère vous offrir un Ave Maria la semaine prochaine. Mais…tant de promesses m’ont déjà été faites que je ne crois plus à rien –pourtant j’ai Noces, Apollon, Symphonie de psaumes, Sérénade, etc… [P.P.S] Affligée � 1941 Apollon Musagète Author: Nadia Boulanger Ave Maria Barbara Les Noces Nadia Location: Cambridge Massachusetts Recipient: Igor Stravinsky Serenade in A Symphonie De Psaumes Symphony of Psalms https://digex.lib.uoguelph.ca/files/original/7756a340864edce920d8f5aa2dacd530.pdf 9e7e747f3146891ca7e4f9ef925d3430 https://digex.lib.uoguelph.ca/files/original/4f6be07ca194524b1e18ea0969f99478.pdf 837c6ea15c65349372d5f74ea59700ea Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Mr. Igor Strawinsky 1260 North Wetherly Drive Hollywood California August 1, 1941 Dear Friend, Thank you for your letter—I will be in Santa Barbara on Monday, but will be resting for at least ten days. I just finished my courses at the Convent, and . . . I don’t have a choice. It is nothing, and it is not important. But an old tired heart does not bear it—in addition to the daily effort, the remorse—and I cannot get used to the idea of having left them there, suffering, oh what suffering. I know that certain tasks can only be accomplished this way, and I have the dearest friends here like you couldn’t imagine—the most faithful. I have understood the value of these weeks at the Convent, the work demands all of my attention—but . . . something stronger than all that haunts my thoughts: “You left everything.” [Even] if I were to face hardship here, everything is easy—and despite all that I have, my conscience is troubled and that is greater than any reason, even the serious, concrete [ones], that I have to pursue my work here. And I know this is all that one can do. See you soon, I hope. We will arrange something, because we must settle these parts once and for all (if that is even imaginable!). You told me nothing of Milène, of Sviétik, but I guess there is the world between you, and Théodore, harder again for you than for him! To Vera and to you, with all my affection, NB � Boulanger à Stravinsky Chicago, Illinois C/O Mrs. Arthur Sachs Ra Ben [sic] Farm Hope Ranch Park Santa Barbara Cal.

Je viens de finir mes cours au Couvent, et…je n’ai pas le [sic] choix. Ce n’est rien, et cela n’a pas d’importance. Mais un vieux cœur fatigué ne supporte pas, en plus de l’effort journalier, les remords—et je ne peux me faire à l’idée de les avoir laissé là-bas, souffrant, quelle souffrance. Je sais, certains devoirs ne sont possibles qu’ainsi, et j’ai ici des amis, comme on n’en peut imaginer de plus chers—de plus fidèles. J’ai compris la valeur de ces semaines au Couvent, le travail demande toute mon activité—mais…quelque chose de plus fort que tout obsède ma pensée : « Tu as tout quitté ». Si je vivais ici de privations, mais tout est facile—et malgré tout ce que j’ai le trouble de ma conscience est plus grand que toutes les raisons, même sérieuses, réelles, que j’ai de poursuivre ma tache [sic] ici. Et je sais tou[t] ce qu’on peut faire. A bientôt, j’espère—nous arrangerons quelque chose—car il faut regler [sic] ce matériel une fois pour toutes (si cela est imaginable !)

I have written you two letters, first of all: Nov. 7 from Avon to tell you that my bookshop has found a Littré. Nov. 15 from Washington to inform you of my visit with Mr. Malone’s assistant who told me he wanted to do away with the summaries—which, given the manner in which they were to be kept in, seemed the best solution to me. I told you that if you didn’t agree, I would ask you to write to Mr. Malone directly. I also asked if you thought removing the abstracts would change the text, which I don’t think to be the case. At first I thought you had written to Mr. Malone and that things were moving along. But, I began to have doubts in my mind, and on December 9, I wrote a second letter to you from Providence regarding this, telling you that, having reread everything, I found that the summaries of the essays were unnecessary, that the clarity of the presentation made them superfluous in print, as opposed to in a lecture. Furthermore, I asked you when you would be able to have another look at the corrected proofs so the book can finally be published, which seems essential to me. Nothing, still nothing. Then a small card in December for Christmas, and that was it. I know your meticulous organization—find my letters and give me instructions. It is sad not to see you, above all in these times when courage is running out, but you have better things to do, for you and for us, than to exchange letters! Thus I don’t expect anything from you, and am happy and surprised when you take the time to express your thoughts. This time, I beg you, help me to complete this business, because at the heart of it . . . I’m the one Mr. Malone and Edward blame. And yet, admit it, I am innocent. I was going to say as innocent as a newborn child, but, to be entirely honest, even more so—because in this case I have fought for and earned my salvation. We live with and for your music. Because you are there, it seems to us that the road is not so dark. Or, at least at the end, there is a light that eliminates the shadows. Have you read Saint-Exupéry’s book? It is a great book, and it influences young men in the same �direction he is going himself. My love to both of you with the most profound affection, Your Nadia � Boulanger à Stravinsky Gerry’s Landing, Cambridge, Mass M. Igor Strawinsky 1260 North Wetherly Drive, Hollywood, California 6 mars 1942 Cher Ami, Nous jouons de malheur, vraiment—et je ne sais que penser—car, à vous dire vrai, votre silence m’a paru…long et triste. Je vous ai écrit deux mots d’abord : 7 nov. d’Avon pour vous annoncer que mon libraire avait trouvé un Littré 15 nov. de Washington pour vous rendre compte de ma visite à l’assistante de M. Malone qui m’avait transmis son désir de supprimer les résumés—ce qui, étant donné la manière dont ils pouvaient être préservés me paraissait la meilleure solution. Je vous disais que si vous n’étiez pas d’accord je vous demandais d’écrire à M. Malone directement. Je vous demandais d’autre part si la suppression des résumés entrainait [sic] à votre avis des changements dans le texte, ce que je ne croyais pas. J’ai d’abord pensé que vous aviez écrit à M. Malone et que les choses suivaient leur cours. Pourtant, le doute m’est venu à l’esprit, et le 9 déc. de Providence, je vous ai envoyé une 2de lettre à ce sujet, vous disant qu’ayant tout relu, je trouvais vraiment que les résumés, pour la lecture, n’avaient pas d’utilité, que la clarté de l’exposé les rendait superflus, ce qui était différent pour la lecture. Je vous demandais en outre quand vous pourriez revoir les épreuves corrigées afin que le livre puisse enfin paraître, ce qui me semble essentiel. Rien, toujours rien. Puis une petite carte en Déc pour Noël, et voilà. Je sais votre ordre méticuleux—retrouvez mes lettres, et donnez-moi des instructions. C’est triste de ne pas vous voir, surtout en ces temps où le courage se fatigue, mais vous avez mieux à faire, pour vous et pour nous, que d’échanger des lettres ! Aussi n’en attends-je pas de vous, heureuse et surprise quand vous prenez le temps d’exprimer votre pensée. Cette fois-ci, je vous en supplie, aidez-moi à mener à bien cette affaire, car au fond…c’est à moi que s’en prennent Mr. Malone et Edward. Et pourtant, avouez-le, je suis innocente, j’allais dire comme l’enfant qui vient de naître, mais à vrai dire, bien plus—car j’ai, à cet égard, mérité et lutté pour mon salut. Nous vivons avec, et de votre musique. Parce que vous êtes là, il nous semble que le chemin n’est pas si sombre. Ou, du moins qu’il y a au bout, la lumière qui détruit les ténèbres. Avez-vous lu le livre de Saint[-]Exupéry. C’est un grand livre, et qui exerce une influence sur les jeunes, dans la direction où il va lui-même.

It has to be said that it is a singular story that in the end appeared very simple to me, when everything was unanswered. So, there’s really nothing to understand. Be that as it may, to save time I will take the steps that seem the most favorable to me and will get the publication of the lectures started. Therein lies the question. Elimination of the summaries, corrections, proofs, they are all problems too minor to continue occupying your time. No doubt they will draw up a second set of proofs, but I won’t send them to you, either. Is there a way to have a score of your new work? Excuse these horrible scribbles, but I wrote all night and can no longer feel my hand, can no longer see. This is almost better [though]—because when one isn’t overwhelmed one is yet more anxious. How can I fight against this old, frustrating heart!

But now that you are not coming—and that I risk not seeing you for many months, I am very simply, but profoundly, sad. I am going to try to spend a few days in Santa Barbara before going back to Boston, but . . . will this be possible? Truly, except for financially, it was a marvelous thing to be sick last year!!

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
