Boulanger to Stravinsky
Monsieur I. Strawinsky
25 Faubourg St. Honoré
Paris, France
May 15, 1938
Dear Friend,
I have not been able to write you, because the life I lead is an impossible problem. But I must, all
the same, tell you what a joy the concert was at the Blisses’ on the 8th. I knew, but did not know
at all, the joy I would find in performing the Concerto—and upon listening to it, I have
understood once again [things that] I wouldn’t know how to tell you. I can’t express it, but such
loneliness is a certainty in my life.
And, after all the courses dedicated to your music, I believe that I understand all the better.
The Concerto was played honestly, well, very well—and was understood, I believe. There
remain many mistakes—and a few problems—I hope that you can wait for my return before
printing it, because it seems to me that a few passages should be modified in places (insufficient
repeats, the notation, etc.) and I cannot formulate the list at this time—I work almost night and
day.
How can I thank you? And how can I prove to you such great devotion? You have clarified
everything, not only through your works, but also by the clarity they project onto all music.
You have given us ears and a conscience! I cannot tear myself away from the Concerto—
everything has such an unexpected sound!
I think of you and your family with deep affection, and am close to you through these heavy,
anxious times. May God be with you and bring peace. This helplessness in the face of sickness is
so frightful.
Your
Nadia
[P.S.] You must know that the Blisses were deeply moved by the Concerto and are so thankful.

April 25, 1938
Very Dear Nadia,
Tomorrow the Europa will leave from Cherbourg, bringing you this note along with the music
that Strecker placed on board in Bremen (with a letter for you). This music (complete parts for
the Concerto in E-flat) will be sent in rolls (three, if I’m not mistaken) by mail and . . . Strecker
hopes that there will not be any difficulties with customs that could slow the arrival of this music
in time for rehearsals—something which would be truly dreadful.
In my first letter to you (of April 6), I had asked if you had seen Mrs. Bliss and if you had spoken
to her on the subject of our last meeting here—which is to say the question of the second and
final payment. You never responded (I can only imagine everything you have going on inside
your head!). If you think of it, would you be so kind as to speak with her about it to speed up the
payment, which would do me a great service (especially now—God knows what the sickness of
my daughter and wife are costing me).
I impatiently await news of rehearsals and of the scores, if they arrive in time.
Fondly,
Your
I. Str
[P.S.] Excuse the hasty scribbling

15 mai 1938
Cher Ami,
Je n’ai pas pu vous écrire, parce que la vie que je mène est un impossible problème. Il me faut
pourtant vous dire quelle joie a été ce concert du 8 chez les Bliss. Je savais, mais ne savais rien,
quelle joie me réservant l’exécution du Concerto—et en l’entendant j’ai, une fois de plus,
compris ce que je ne sais pas vous dire, que je ne peux pas exprimer, mais qui est dans ma vie,
une certitude d’une telle solitude.
Et après tous les cours consacrés à votre musique, je crois que je comprends vraiment mieux.
Le Concerto a été joué honnêtement, bien, vraiment bien –et a été entendu, je crois. Il reste
beaucoup de fautes—et quelques problèmes—je souhaite que vous puissiez attendre mon retour
pour imprimer, car il me semble que quelques passages devraient être modifiés dans les parties
(répliques insuffisantes, la notation, etc.) et je ne peux dresser cette liste maintenant—je travaille
presque nuit et jour.
Comment vous remercier –et comment vous prouver un si grand dévouement—tout est éclairé
par vous—non seulement par vos œuvres, mais par la clarté qu’elles projettent sur toute la
musique.
Vous nous avez rendu des oreilles et une conscience. Je ne peux me détacher du Concerto —tout
sonne d’une telle manière !
A vous, aux votres [sic], je pense avec une tendre affection, et suis près de vous durant ces
heures lourdes d’angoisse. Que Dieu soit avec vous, et ramène la paix. C’est si affreux, cette
impuissance devant la maladie.
Votre
Nadia
[P.-S.] Il faut que vous sachiez ce qu’ont été les Bliss, si émus par le Concerto et si
reconnaissants.

Très chère Nadia,
Demain part de Cherbourg “EUROPA” qui vous apportera ces lignes ainsi que la musique que
Strecker à [sic] remise à son bord à Bremen (avec une lettre pour vous). Cette musique (materiel
[sic] complet du Concerto en Mib) est envoyée en rouleaux (trois, si je ne me trompe) par poste
et… Strecker espère qu’il n’y aura pas de difficultés de douane qui pourraient retenir l’arrivée de
cette musique à temps pour les répétitions—chose qui serait vraiment épouvantable.
Dans ma première lettre à vous (du 6 avr.) je vous avais demande [sic] si vous aviez vu Mme
Bliss et si vous lui aviez parlé au sujet de notre dernier entretien ici—c. à d. question de second
et dernier versement. Vous ne m’aviez jamais répondu (je m’imagine tout ce que vous devez
retenir dans la tête!) Si vous y pensez, vous seriez bien gentille de lui en parler pour accelerer
[sic] le règlement ce qui me rendrait service (surtout maintenant—Dieu sait ce que me coûte la
maladie de ma fille et de ma femme)
J’attends avec impatience des nouvelles des répétitions et du materiel [sic], s’il arrivé à temps.
Je vous embrasse

Dear Friend,
I just sent you a wire because I am very worried about not having received the material for the
first two movements.
The final movement, which I know well now, is so beautiful.
The copying will be done very carefully and I think that all will be well.
I believe that Mrs. Bliss counts on having the manuscript for the performance. Would you please
send it to me? I will deliver it to her. Or would you prefer to send it to her directly? Excuse my
meddling in something that does not concern me—but . . . have you thought to have the
dedication printed
Another thing: I do not know if you should come here next year—but could we draft an
agreement saying that you reserve—for you firstly, and then for me should you be unable—the
performance of the Concerto, for one year? I am writing to Strecker to say the same thing, but
naturally, only what suits you can suit me.
But, it seems to me that I have so connected my life with your work this year that I would give
anything—if you do not come—to have the remarkable privilege of making the concerto known
here.
Forgive me if you find this request indiscreet, [and] know that I am guided only by my deep
affection for what you mean to all of us, and not foolish ambition. It is a matter of pride in
knowing what this concerto represents. Last night, again, at Wellesley, it was such a wonderful
time with Le Sacre. Today with the Duo concertant; the day before yesterday with the Concerto
for Two Pianos; Saturday the Ave Maria; next week, Mavra; and so forth . . .
How can I thank you? My thoughts go much further, because a work of art, to a certain degree, is
an image of God. I cannot express it, but I know the proof flows from what is beautiful, from
what is.
With great affection,
Nadia

Cher Ami,
Je viens de vous envoyer un câble, car je suis très inquiète de n’avoir pas reçu le matériel des 2
premiers mouvements.
Le final, que je connais maintenant bien, est si beau aussi.
La copie en sera faite très soigneusement et je pense que tout sera bien.
Je crois que Madame Bliss compte avoir le manuscrit pour l’exécution. Voulez-vous bien me
l’envoyer. Je le lui remettrai. Ou préférez-vous le lui envoyer directement? Pardon de me mêler
de ce qui ne me regarde pas—mais…avez-vous pensé à faire imprimer la dédicace ?
Autre chose :
Je ne sais pas si vous devez venir ici l’an prochain—mais pourrions-nous faire un arrangement
en disant que vous réservez, à vous d’abord, et puis à moi à votre défaut, l’exécution du
Concerto, pour un an. J’écris à Strecker dans le même sens, mais naturellement, seul ce qui vous
convient peut me convenir.
Mais, il me semble avoir tant associé ma vie à votre œuvre cette année ici que je donnerais je ne
sais quoi pour, si vous ne venez pas, avoir l’insigne privilège de faire connaître le concerto [sic]
ici.
Pardon si vous trouvez cette demande indiscrète, seul mon attachement profond à ce que vous
êtes pour nous tous, et non une stupide ambition, me guide, sentez-le. Il s’agit d’une sorte de
fierté de savoir ce que ce concerto représente. Hier soir encore, à Wellesley, de telles heures avec
le Sacre. Aujourd’hui avec le Duo Concertant —avant-hier avec le Concerto deux pianos—
Samedi l’Ave Maria —la semaine prochaine, Mavra—et ainsi de suite.
Vous remercier ? Ma pensée va plus loin, car l’œuvre d’art, a [sic] un certain degré, est une
image de Dieu. (Je ne peux pas dire, mais je sais si bien quelle évidence découle de ce qui est
beau, de ce qui est.[)]
A vous, en si grande affection,
Nadia

Attached are some errors identified after having sent you the first pages of the third part of the
Concerto. I hope that this package reached you and that you sent back a copy.
I am sending you today (on the SS Aquitania that only leaves on the 13th—no ship before then)
the final pages of the movement. So now you have the entirety and I hope you’ll have the time
(too short, in my opinion) to finish the copying and to rehearse it with the musicians. All the
same, what madness to move ahead the date (May 1!) so suddenly without finding out if it would
be physically possible to have the time for the copying and the rehearsals. It was just discovered
that my manuscript was with the engraver, Schott, who sent it back April 9 (the SS Deutschland
left on the 8th—think of the bad luck, and no ship until the 13th) with the final pages (*) that I’ll
send you after tomorrow.
Yours,

Très chère amie,
Ci-joint quelques fautes relevées après vous avoir envoyé les première[s] pages de la troisième
partie du Concerto. J’espère que cet envoi vous est bien parvenu et que vous l’avez envoyé en
copie.
Aujourd’hui, je vous envoie (avec S/S Aquitania qui ne s’en va que le 13—pas de bateaux avant)
les dernières pages de ce mouvement. Donc maintenant vous avez le tout et j’espère que vous
aurez le temps (trop juste à mon avis) de finir la copie et de bien r[é]péter avec les musiciens.
Quelle folie quand même d’avancer si brusquement la date (1er
mai !) sans se renseigner s’il
serait matériellement possible d’avoir le temps pour la copie et les répétitions. Il s’est trouvé
justement que mon manuscrit était à la gravure chez Schott qui me l’a renvoyé le 9 avril (le 8
partait le S/S DEUTSCHLAND—pensez quelle déveine et jusqu’au 13 pas de bateaux) avec les
dernières pages (*) que je vous envoie après/demain.
Tout à vous,

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.

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.
Je vous embrasse très affectueusement
Votre
Igor Strawinsky
Avez-vous pu parler à Mme Bliss au sujet de notre dernière conversation ?
*car vous rendrez la vôtre pour l’extraction des parties [partitions]

Dear Friend,
I am arriving from Washington—the performance can only take place in the first week of May—
rehearsals begin on the first. I have sent you a wire, because the program with the Thèmes du
concerto must to be given to the printer before the 20th because of the Blisses’ trip. I am also
anxious to work through the finale—because of my eyes, I must know it almost by heart.
Mrs. Bliss has asked me to handle all expenses for you—and yours [your family’s]? I would very
much like news!
With deepest affection,
Nadia

Cher Ami,
J’arrive de Washington—la séance ne peut avoir lieu que dans la 1ère
semaine de Mai—
répétitions commençant le 1er
. Je vous ai câblé, car le programme avec les Thèmes du Concerto
doit être donné à l’imprimeur avant le 20 — à cause d’un voyage des Bliss. Je suis aussi
anxieuse de travailler le final—à cause de mes yeux je dois savoir à peu près par cœur.
Mrs. Bliss m’a chargée de tout depensées [sic] pour vous—et les votres [sic]—je voudrais tant
avoir des nouvelles !
A vous de tout cœur,
Nadia
