August 6, 1964 My friend, what joy in reading that you are so especially well, active, and especially interested, I believe, in this new house where I dream of being [one day]. I spent such happy hours in the one that will become . . . “the old one.” No one in the world, and this is inevitable, has your vitality: you are always twenty years old. You’ll remember that Clémenceau met with a gentleman who, stunned by his vivacity, said to him, “You are so young, Mr. President!” Clémenceau was at that point 88 years old. His instantaneous reply: “When one is young, it is forever.” But now, to more serious things. You’re coming to Berlin, aren’t you? Think of poor Nicky who at first thought only of you, and now sees this festival centered on you, put together for you; he is frustrated that the inspiration [for the event] might be missing But what am I saying is, if it is better for you to turn down this trip, then it goes without saying it needn’t be thought of anymore. All the same, I’ll still wager that you’ll be in Berlin at the end of September. I would only go there for you, truth be told. Best wishes to Bob, to Vera, to you. All my tenderness as always. Fondly, NB � * * * Boulanger à Stravinsky Ecoles d’art américaines Fondation reconnue d’utilité publique Bureau de New-York : 122 East 58 St. N.Y. 22 Conservatoire de musique – Ecole des beaux-arts Palais de Fontainebleau Le Directeur Mr. Igor Stravinsky 1260 North Wetherly Road Hollywood 46 California USA 6 août 1964 Quelle joie mon ami que cette lettre où je vous vois si bien, si actif et intéressé, je crois, par-dessus tout, par cette nouvelle maison où je rêve de me trouver. J’ai passé des heures si heureuses dans celle qui va devenir… « la vieille » Personne au monde, et c’est fatal, n’a votre vitalité : vous avez toujours vingt ans. Vous vous souvenez de Clémenceau recevant un monsieur étonné par sa vivacité et lui disant « Que vous êtes jeune, Monsieur le Président ! » Clémenceau avait alors 88 ans. La réplique ne se fit pas attendre : « Quand on est jeune, c’est pour toujours. » Mais maintenant, aux choses sérieuses. Vous allez, n’est-ce-pas, venir à Berlin. Pensez à ce pauvre Nicky qui d’abord n’a pensé qu’à vous, mais maintenant voit ce Festival centré sur vous, combiné pour vous ; frustré de cette présence qui en faisait le rayonnement. Mais que dis-je, s’il vaut mieux pour vous de renoncer à ce voyage, il n’y faut plus songer, cela va sans dire. Tout de même, je parie encore que vous serez à Berlin fin septembre. Je n’y viens que pour vous, à vrai dire. Mille pensées pour Bob, pour Véra, à vous, toute ma tendresse de toujours, je vous embrasse.

We’ve come to ask you to write a work for the concert, for a small orchestra of a maximum of fifteen instruments, perhaps with a narrator. It goes without saying that the Committee asks you to state the terms under which you would accept this commission. The concert would take place in October 1965. I can tell you that, in principle, the committee will accept your conditions. The President, Mr. Heim, believes your work alone would justify the entire program. Would you please tell me what you think about this, because our plans depend on you. Must I tell you my hope. (I felt such deep emotion seeing you and Vera again, and I admired Bob who put everything in its place with such intelligence, such order. As for the work, how can one dare to speak of it. It is essential and we are so happy to understand it. Each of your steps is so decisive.)

Et de tout cœur, je viens vous embrasser—espérant que peu de responsabilités, de gloire, de fatigues, des voyages, d’obligations, n’usent pas votre merveilleuse énergie. Certes, vous avez une chance unique, mais combien lourde, et la mélancolie de voi[r] les années s’accumuler, et leur poids poser sur lui, sur vous. Son génie se renouvelle pourtant, par un miracle presque incroyable. Son Requiem pour TS Eliot est un chef d’œuvre. Monumental autant que condensé. Et tout reste éclairé par celui qui porte la lumière depuis tant d’années. Toujours elle-même, toujours nouvelle. Que Dieu vous garde dans Sa Paix Je vous embrasse tous deux et suis votre Nadia B [P.-S.] Mille pensées pour Bob. � 1965 Author: Nadia Boulanger Nadia Location: Fontainebleau Recipient: Vera Stravinsky Robert Craft Vera Location: California Vera Stravinsky https://digex.lib.uoguelph.ca/files/original/a3f456e8d126b364b87e996c32820e90.pdf 93fd83a47c764110791fbc7031db6506 https://digex.lib.uoguelph.ca/files/original/fd4e3efe2344d3b61bf95a06142ef61c.pdf 680652d6c6a31defe44b67274125c56f Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

December 4, 1966 Dear Friend, Today I’m spending an unofficial Sunday close to you. For Baudelaire’s centenary, the Minister, Mr. André Malraux, would like to organize an event to pay tribute to the musician who has dominated, to say the least, this century. Therefore, would you agree to come to conduct the French premiere of the work dedicated to the memory of Aldous Huxley along with the Symphonie de psaumes and [other pieces] of yours that you would choose yourself? In the event that you would be interested in accepting, under what terms would you like the concert to be organized? What fee, how many rehearsals, and naturally, Bob? Could you send me a night letter collect telling the dates, fee, number of rehearsals, Bob? You would then receive an official letter confirming the invitation. Malraux attaches extreme importance to this project as does Rufina Ampernova. He’ll write to you later, I’m so anxious to read this work dedicated to the memory of Aldous Huxley. Could you help me with this? I send all my love.

He has just lost his mother in tragic circumstances and wasn’t able to copy the scores. He has a great need for this award, is very talented, and a worker—he needs to develop, but he is truly a musician. Did you agree to vote for him? I hope so. He deserves it and has such a need. Tell Winifred if you accept my proposal or not. I think of you constantly, am immersed in the music of the recent meaningful years which were so beautiful, but I don’t abandon the works of the past, which remain so new, so alive. But . . . I will leave off with my superfluous comments. The music is, we are nothing, and words add nothing to it. I would like to see you so much. But I hear you in the silence and believe I understand you, understand what will never be said. My fond wishes to you and also to Vera, my thoughts to Bob and my affection to Milène.

Il a grand besoin de cet award, est très doué, travailleur—ayant besoin d’évoluer—mais vraiment un musicien. Acceptiez-vous de voter pour lui ? Je le souhaite—il le mérite et en a si grand besoin. Dites à Winifred si vous acceptez ma proposition—ou non. Pense à vous sans cesse, suis plongée dans cette musique des dernières années si significative, si belle, mais n’abandonne-pas les œuvres du passé, restées si neuves, si vivantes. Mais…Je vous laisse tranquille avec mes commentaires superflus. La musique est—on n’est rien—les mots ne lui ajoutant rien. Que je voudrais vous voir. Mais je vous écoute dans le silence et crois vous entendre, entendre ce que jamais ne sera dit. Je vous embrasse et Véra aussi sans oublier des [pensées] pour Bob et ma tendresse à Milène.
