We have experienced from afar the creation of The Rake's Progress. Knowing that among all of the indifferent or neutral ears there were your own is reassuring. The articles in all of tomorrow’s newspapers and magazines have even given us an idea of what kind of event it was, what the work [means] to Music and to History. I am sure that you and I think the same thing about this. Times will change and prove it to those reluctant ones. But maybe they won’t be so numerous this time around, or am I mistaken? And now, here, a second university winter semester starts. We’ve taken root in this place. (Don't smile, things take root quickly in fertile soil). We love this life. I love my students and find myself in the best working conditions there are. Lots of concerts as well this year, like last year. Françoise thinks I accept too many of them. Could we come spend a few weeks in France next spring? It is our greatest desire, but we still can’t decide on anything. Jean has started school (first grade) and is distinguishing himself there by his natural abilities (proud father speaking) as well as by his passionate temperament. One of my former students, Patricia Hepner, is going to be in Paris this winter. She does not know anybody there and I thought your guidance could be invaluable to her. Would you be so kind as to welcome her when she telephones you? I’m also recommending her to Jacques Février, who I hope will be able to follow her training for the competition in Brussels where she hopes to perform this spring. Thank you in advance for what you might be able to do for her. Françoise asks me to pass along her affectionate thoughts. I add to them Jean’s and, of course, my own. Always, your Soulima. � Chapitre 5 Soulima Stravinsky à Boulanger 1802 Carle Drive, Urbana, Illinois 30 septembre 1951 Chère Nadia, Que ces lignes vous disent mes très fidèles pensées qui vont à vous si souvent et particulièrement ce jour de votre Fête. Nous avons vécu de loin la création de Rake’s Progress. Savoir que parmi toute d’oreilles indifférentes ou neutres il y avant les vôtres est rassurant. Des articles dans tous les journaux et magazines de lendemain même nous ont donné une idée de ce qu’a été cet évènement. Ce qu’est l’œuvre dans la Musique et dans l’Histoire. Je suis sûr que nous en pensons la même chose vous et moi. Le temps se changera de le prouver aux hésitant. Mais peut-être ne sont-ils pas si nombreux cette fois-ci, ou je m’abuse ? Et voici un deuxième hiver d’université qui commence. Nous avons pris racine dans cet endroit. (Ne souriez pas, les racines prennent vite dans une terre fertile). Nous aimons cette vie, j’aime mes élèves et me trouve dans les meilleures conditions de travail qui soient. Beaucoup de concerts aussi cette année, comme l’année dernière. Françoise trouve que j’en accepte trop. Pourrons-nous venir passer quelques semaines en France le printemps prochain ? C’est notre plus grand désir, mais nous ne pouvons encore décider de rien. Jean est entré à l’école (First Grade) et s’y distingue pour ses capacités naturelles (c’est le père qui parle) autant que par son tempérament ardent. Une de mes anceniennes élèves, Patricia Hepner, va se trouver à Paris cet hiver. Elle n’y connait personne et j’ai pensé que vos conseils pourraient lui être précieux. Auriez-vous la bonté de la recevoir quand elle vous téléphonera ? Je la recommande également à Jacques Février qui pourra, je l’espère, suivre son entrainement pour le Concours de Bruxelles ou elle désire ce présenter ce printemps. Merci d’avance de ce que vous pourriez faire pour elle. Françoise me charge de ses affectueuses pensées. Je veux y joindre celle de Jean et les miennes bien sûr. Toujour, votre Soulima. � 1951 Author: Soulima Stravinsky Françoise Stravinsky Jacques Février Patricia Hepner Recipient: Nadia Boulanger Soulima Stravinsky Location: Illinois The Rake's Progress https://digex.lib.uoguelph.ca/files/original/fdff5cd34bf9c3236d52742907948d92.pdf 1b5ced145f975f6123ae3ca111e70298 https://digex.lib.uoguelph.ca/files/original/6bcd01579e5868969ca08253d73cb27c.pdf de631cb6c575b41e74914fb5d68756f2 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

I am working a lot here, but I don’t know where I am with it. Will the Cantata go well this evening? I will write to you . . . The more I read and play this work, the more I love it. No, I loved it immediately, but the more I see, the more I hear everything. When we see the excess of notes that the . . . well, alright, the “musicians” give in to, we understand all too well the sad reason for their apparent richness. As Mozart was before, there you are with a few notes—but they are the right ones. There is a great commotion everywhere. “Much ado about nothing” most of the time, but from time to time, a surprise. But I don’t wish to speak to you about aesthetics. I miss you, I’m sad, your presence is so necessary. But we remain so attached to this wish and, after all, try so humbly to lead ourselves toward the right path. Perhaps it is not so bad for those who are capable of so little! My love to Vera and you and I am, always, Your Nadia B.

Ici, on travaille beaucoup—mais où on en est, je l’ignore. Ce soir, la Cantate— sera-ce bien ? Je vous écrirai… Plus je lis, joue, cette partition, plus je l’aime—non, je l’ai aimée tout de suite, mais mieux je vois, j’entends tout.

Conservatoire de musique Le Directeur du Conservatoire February 5, 1952 Dear Igor, Upon receiving your letter, I telephoned rue d’Anjou to obtain the translation. Some passages are good, but others are impossible. All of your rhythms are changed. Where the syncopation is everything, equal values render it unacceptably monotonous. Some expressions also, such as: “The deuce,” whose resonance is so striking and whose meaning is supposed to convey at once so many things through the force and complexity of words as [Kraus] performed it, for which the tone—which is too clear—and the silences (le vide) are terrible at this incredibly important point. What do you want to do? 1) Write to the translator yourself to indicate to him the parts you don’t like. 2) Find someone here (I know someone) to try to set to rights what must be changed. I’ll await your instructions. This work must be done quickly, even if the Opéra’s date remains uncertain, because learning a text that is then changed would be just maddening for the artists. Concerning the performers: Bourdin will be perfect. Michaud is slightly lacking in her lower [register], maybe in lyricism, but she will not accept, I believe, if she doesn’t feel she can do a good job. You ought to, at all costs, get Cuénod for Sellem and Simoneau for Tom. For the latter, they are thinking of Lucca [sic] who is not as good as Simoneau. I leave Thursday for Monaco. Lecture on The Rake. I am terrified because . . . I am incapable of properly saying what these people nonetheless must know. They are led constantly down the wrong path!

Certains passages sont bien [sic], mais d’autres sont impossibles. Tous vos rythmes changés. Où la syncope est tout, des valeurs égales donnent une monotonie inacceptable. Quelques expressions aussi comme : The deuce, dont la résonnance est si frappante et le sens, voulant à la fois dire tant de choses, par la force et la complexité du mot, rendu par Hésa [Kraus], dont la sonorité trop claire et le vide sont terribles à cet endroit si important. Que voulez-vous ? 1) Écrire vous-même au traducteur, lui signaler les points que vous n’acceptez pas. 2) Trouver ici (je connais quelqu’un) pour tenter de remettre au point ce qu’il faut changer. J’attendrai vos instructions—il est nécessaire de faire ce travail d’urgence, même si la date de l’Opéra reste incertaine, car pour les artistes, apprendre un texte qui serait changé ensuite serait bien fâcheux. En ce qui concerne les interprètes : Bourdain sera parfait—Micheau manquera de grave peut-être de lyrisme, mais n’acceptera pas, je crois, si elle ne se sent pas en mesure de bien faire. Il faudrait à tous prix obtenir Cuénod pour Sallem, et Simoneau pour Tom. Pour ce dernier il est question de Lucca, moins bien que Simoneau.

Regarding projects with Venice, I believe Nabokov is a bit too wrapped up in his own enthusiasm. The fact is that ten months ago the Venice Biennale submitted a project to me to compose a religious work for them (they wanted [it for] 1956) that would be performed for the first time under my direction at St Mark's Cathedral. Personally, I am very interested in this, but nothing will get done or even get started so long as I have not received and signed the contract with the Biennale. The misfortune is precisely that this contract is dragging and is making me wait indefinitely. I proposed a short “Passion according to Saint Mark” which pleased them greatly. But as for me, as the Unions here say: “No contract, no work” . . . We hope to see you somewhere during our European stay. Love, I. Str. � Stravinsky à Boulanger Hollywood 46, California Le 5 fevrier 1955 Bien chere Nadia, Merci de vos lettres du 27 Janvier que je trouve en rentrant chez moi d’une tournee de concerts ici…je commence du reste des maintenant mes preparatifs pour notre expedition en Europe le mois prochain (depart d’ici le 4 Mars). A propos de projets avec Venise, je crois que Nabakov s’est un peu trop emballe dans son enthousiasme. Le fait est que depuis 10 mois La Biennale de Venise m’a soumis un projet pour composer pour eux (ils desiraient 1956) une œuvre de caractere religieux qui serait donnee pour la premiere fois sous ma direction a la Cathedrale St. Marc. Personnellement je suis tres interesse par cette chose mais rien ne se fera ni ne commencera tant que je n’aurai pas recu et signe le contrat avec la Biennale. Le malheur est que precisement ce contrat traine et se fait indefiniment attendre. Je leur avais propose une courte « Passion Selon Saint Marc » et cela leur avait beaucoup plu. But pour moi aussi, comme les Unions disent ici : « No contract, no work »…. Nous esperons vous voir quelque part durant notre stage europeen. Love, I.

I send my love to you both and am with all my heart, Your NB [P.S.] Don’t take the trouble to write to Passerone, just tell me if you are in agreement . . . or not. � Boulanger à Stravinsky Ecoles d’art américaines Fondation reconnue d’utilité publique Conservatoire de musique – Ecole des beaux-arts Palais De Fontainebleau 7 décembre 1954 Encore moi, Bien cher Ami !!! Après vous être si gentiment plaint de mon silence, vous l’allez regretter ! Mais, j’appuie très vivement la requête de Passerone—il a tant de talent, est si sérieux, si « informé », et si modeste. Que la projet Rome me tente—c’est si triste de si peu vous voir. Je pense à Santa Barbara, à ces heures chez vous. Rien ne me parait plus important, et pourtant, je le sacrifie. Les œuvres dites « modernes » ont sévi, pour Varèse, violente réaction. Qu’ils sont donc démodés et prétentieux. Bah ! L’eau coule, les entraine, et…rien ne subsiste. Je vous embrasse et suis de tout cœur, Votre NB [P.-S.] Ne prenez pas la peine d’écrire à Passerone, Dites-moi seulement si vous êtes d’accord…ou non. � 1954 Author: Nadia Boulanger Felix Passerone Nadia Location: Fontainebleau Recipient: Igor Stravinsky https://digex.lib.uoguelph.ca/files/original/5e0c04261caf9585fc8042e5ac5318d9.pdf f4f090d8a97f77772b83cf31f79829f4 https://digex.lib.uoguelph.ca/files/original/4790eff3c6f2e148c26fac471483901b.pdf 5fdac5979dc6b2796175d4745a632fd6 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Happy that you are reading my Septet. I conducted its premiere at Dumbarton Oaks. Bob is conducting it tomorrow in Los Angeles—as for me, I have also conducted a symphonic concert here. Ask Boosey & Hawkes to send you my new Three Shakespeare Songs, which Bob is also conducting tomorrow. I need to be in Rome April 4 and stay there until the 18th, then Turin (Perséphone and the Violin Concerto), then Lugano*) (radio Monte Carlo) the 27th, then staying with Théodore, then Cologne and Baden-Baden in May, then London (Royal Philharmonic) May 27, then Lisbon at the beginning of June, then returning by plane to the U.S. Is it really possible we will not see one another this time? Love, kisses, I Str. *Septet and chamber music � Stravinsky à Boulanger Hotel Olympic Seattle, Washington 7 mars 1954 Très chere Nadia Merci de votre bonne lettre, de vous être souvenue du 2 mars (pas le 3) d’il y a quinze ans !
