Soulima Stravinsky to Boulanger
1802 Carle Drive
Urbana, Illinois
October 13, 1952
(Starting Nov. 1, our address will be: 910 West Oregon, Urbana, Ill.)
My dear Nadia,
Oh, how your letter gave me such pleasure and I am so touched that you remembered my
birthday. I am filled with remorse after having let your birthday pass last year without sending
you my wishes—will you still accept them?
You are right. Without a doubt I need to write. I tell myself this often. Not so long ago I wrote
lots, and nothing came of it. If one could write in the moments lost or gained during a schedule
crammed full of teaching and concerts, that would be the trick. I still haven’t developed the
necessary concentration. Maybe one day? I'm not giving up on this.
From the end of September, we’ll be coming to spend next summer in Europe. We have you to
thank for all the emotions this stirs up in us. We are counting the days.
We are looking forward to The Rake in New York, it will be a grand event for us. Until now we
have only heard but a little snippet on the radio. Two songs sung by Schwarzkopf at a festival in
Holland, conducted by Markevitch. We have waited too long.
Jean is well. If it is true that it is better to have a difficult character than to have no character at
all, he has great things ahead of him.
Françoise joins me in sending you all of our affection,
Soulima

Chère Nadia
Que votre lettre m’a fait plaisir et comme je suis touché que vous vous soyez souvenue de mon
anniversaire. Je n’en ai que plus de remords d’avoir laissé [passer] la date de votre fête sans vous
envoyer mes vœux—Les acceptez-vous encore ?
Vous avez raison. Sans doute il faudrait que j’écrive. Je me le dis souvent. J’ai écrit naguère bien
de papier dont il n’est rien sorti. Si on pouvait écrire à moments perdus, ou gagnés, à travers un
emploi du temps écrasent d’enseignement et de concerts, ce seraient la formule. Je ne suis pas
encore arrivé à la concentration nécessaire. Peut-être un jour ? Je n’y renonce pas.
Nous viendrons passer l’été prochain en Europe de fin de Septembre. Les sentiments qui nous
agitent, vous les devriez. Nous comptons les jours.
En attendant le Rake à New York, sera pour nous le grand événement. Nous n’avons jusqu’ici
entendu qu’un petit fragment à la Radio. Deux airs chantés par Schwartzkopf au festival de
Hollande et dirigés par Markevitch. C’est vraiment trop attendu.
Jean va bien. S’il est vrai qu’il vaut mieux avoir caractère difficile que pas de caractère. Il a de
grandes chances devant lui.
Françoise se joint à moi pour vous embrasser de toute notre affection.

My dear Nadia
A few days ago I received your letter of September 20, which touched me greatly.
As always, I respond in haste.
The quickest way for you to obtain my Cantata is for you to contact Dr. E. Roth directly.
London has already made the engraving, I corrected all the proofs, and I myself am expecting the
full and vocal scores any day now.
Thank you also for having sent me the many signatures of your students and their (your) kind
thoughts.
Very affectionately,
I. Str

One year ago in Venice, The Rake, you, all of us. How far away it is, and [yet] so close. I have
not written to you, my Friend, because I hardly dare to take your time. What could I tell you that
you don’t already know and that would be worth keeping your attention.
All the same, it is so good to think of those wonderful days, it is so marvelous to love you this
much, and one day of gushing is allowed, after all.
Sometimes it seems that I never left you, because even in silence, or better yet in solitude, your
music is a part of my life, as is my memory of you. Perhaps it’s too sentimental, but so true.
You do not know how important your visit to Paris has been. Certainly, you had spoken before
appearing, and those who could understand must have understood. The fact is that you took them
by the hand, and pulled many out of a rut.
But, no more long epistles. I wait for you. When will you come back, where? I beg of you, when
you manage to think of me, would you send me a copy of your Cantata?
Dear Igor, excuse me, we are completely boring you, but that’s the way it is, it is your fault. Will
you be in Europe during the summer, in France? Insidious question, full of treachery and hope.
Tell Vera that we all found her as beautiful as ever, tell Bob that I would like to get to know him
better, so intelligent, lively, and calm, and that I love you all so deeply and tenderly,
Your

Il y a un an, Venise, The Rake, vous, nous tous. Que c’est loin—et si proche. Je ne vous écris
pas, mon Ami, parce que j‘ose à peine prendre de votre temps. Que vous dirais-je que vous ne
sachiez, et qui ne vaut pas, hélas, de vous retenir.
Tout de même c’est si bon de penser à ces beaux jours, c’est si merveilleux de vous aimer tant,
qu’un jour d’effusion est tout de même permis.
Il me semble parfois que je ne vous quitte jamais, car dans le silence même, et la solitude mieux
encore, votre musique est partie de ma vie et votre souvenir aussi. Trop sentimental, il se peut,
mais si vrai.
Vous ne savez pas de quelle importance a été votre venue à Paris. Certes, vous aviez parlé avant
de paraître—et ceux qui pouvaient comprendre devaient avoir compris. Le fait est que vous les
avez pris par la main, et plusieurs sont sortis de l’ornière.
Mais, fois des longues épîtres—je vous attends—quand revenez-vous—où. Quand, je vous
conjure de [sic] penser à moi, m’envoyez-vous un photostat de la Cantate ?
Cher Igor, pardon, nous vous ennuyons tous—mais rien à faire, c’est de votre faute. Servez-vous
en Europe durant l’été, en France ? Question insidieuse, pleine de perfidie et d’espoir.
Dîtes à Vera que nous l’avons tous trouvée aussi belle que toujours, à Bob que je voudrais le
connaître mieux, si intelligent, vif, et tranquille—que vous êtes tous ce que j’aime si fortement et
si tendrement,

Mademoiselle Nadia Boulanger

April 14, 1952
My dear Nadia,
A final note to respond to your letter of April 9.
We are leaving New York on Monday April 28 at 5:00 p.m. with TWA Flight 922. We have a
short stop at the Paris-Orly airfield on Tuesday, April 29 around 1:25 p.m. and continue on the
same airplane to Geneva, to attend performances of The Rake in French on May 2 and 4. We will
then return to Paris on May 8.
As for the small reception after Oedipus Rex, I cannot answer from here. We will need to talk
about this again in Paris and see how everything looks then.
Regarding The Rake, I do not know if, in the end, we will put it on in Paris in May. After what
happened to poor Désormière, it seems doubtful. But you must have known about this sooner
than I.
Fond wishes. “See you soon,”
I Str.

Chere Nadia,
Ce dernier mot pour repondre a votre note du 9 avril.
Nous quittons New York Lundi 28 Avril a 17 Heures par TWA Flight 922. Nous ferons une
courte escale a l’aerodrome de Paris-Orly le Mardi 29 Avril vers 13 Heures [sic] 25 et
continuons notre route avec le meme avion jusqu'à Geneve, pour y assister aux representations
du Rake en francais les 2 et 4 Mai. Nous reviendrons ensuite a Paris le 8 Mai.
Pour ce qui est d’une petite reception apres OEDIPUS REX je ne peux pas repondre d’ici. Il faut
en reparler a Paris et voir comment tout se presente.
A propos du Rake j’ignore si, finalement, on va le donner a Paris en Mai. Apres ce qui est arrive
au pauvre Desormieres cela me parait douteux. Mais vous devez en savoir plus long que moi.
Je vous embrasse. « A bientôt ».
I Str.

2) Would you please tell me your exact flight (number, time, day) because I’d like to meet you at

3) I’d like you to agree to see some young musicians, then I’ll organize a small reception at the

I am very conceited!! Because I will bring a crowd to your three concerts.
Not a word more, I take pity on you. I send you both my fond wishes and deepest affection.

Dear Igor,
Pardon me, but Dr. Roth has taken the score back and made arrangements for Badet and
Désormière to do the translations. God willing they will succeed. Some passages are good, but
there are so many things to redo. After having studied the question quite closely and assessing
the difficulties, François V. had arrived at the conclusion that a good result was possible.

Dear friend,
Thank you for your letter of February 7 which cleared up the confusion surrounding the question
of the volumes of The Rake's Progress for me.
No matter what the origin of one or the other, the reality is that the two volumes that
Mademoiselle Boulanger has already received from you are not those I had intended for her. In
this case, I ask you to please send Mademoiselle Boulanger, 36 rue Ballu, Paris, 9e, the three
volumes that you still have at my disposal in your archives.
Thank you in advance and excuse the inconvenience.

Quelle que soit la provenance des uns ou des autres, il se fait que les deux volumes que

My dear Nadia,
I was quite disappointed to learn the results of your investigation at rue d’Anjou concerning the
French version of The Rake. I would like to believe that it is not a complete catastrophe but
limited to a few places.
I just wrote to Dr. Roth to ask him to get in touch with you immediately to place you in charge of
putting all this in order. Otherwise, I do not know who to contact and you are in a position to
choose someone competent in the matter. As for myself, I am too far away and don't have the
time.
Keep me up to date about what comes of this.
Tell me as well for which audience you gave your lectures about The Rake to in Monaco.
Still no decision from the Paris Opera. But the programs that have already arrived here announce
a heap of Strauss operas and The Rake isn't mentioned in them . . .
Fond wishes,
I Str.

Chere Nadia,
J’ai été assez deçu en apprenant les resultats de votre enquete rue d’Anjou au sujet du Rake en
francais. Je veux bien croire que la catastrophe n’est pas generale et qu’elle se limite a certaines
places.
Je viens d’ecrire au Dr. Roth en lui demandant de se mettre immediatement en rapport avec vous
pour vous charger de mettre ordre a cela. Autrement, je ne sais pas a qui m’adresser et vous etes
a meme de choisir quelqu’un de competent en la matiere. Quant a moi jesuis [sic] trop loin et
n’ai pas le temps.
Tenez-moi au courant de ce qui en advient.
Dites-moi aussi pour quel auditoire vous etes allée donner vos conferences sur le Rake a
Monaco.
Toujours pas de decision de l’Opera de Paris. Mais les programmes deja parvenus ici annoncent
un tas d’operas de Strauss et le Rake n’y est pas mentionné…
Je vous embrasse affectueusement.
I Str.

Stravinsky to Boosey & Hawkes
(original in English)
Dr. E. Roth
Director

295 Regent Street
London W. I. (England)
February 8, 1952
Dear Dr. Roth,
I have just received a letter from Nadia Boulanger whom I had asked to give me her opinion
about the French translation of the Rake’s.
Her answer is not too cheerful.
I understand that the French translation by this Mr. de Badet (by the way I have never understood
who commissioned him: you or the Grand Opéra?) in many instances is completely off and, still
worse, has led to some musical changes which completely erase the original rhythmical sense.
I know that some alterations are unavoidable but the result must not be complete nonsense, as the
case seems to be.
Please contact Miss Boulanger and ask her to handle the problem of straightening out the
mistakes herself. I cannot do it from here; time is running short and moreover Miss Boulanger is
at hand and perfectly aware of the situation. Till Monday, February 18th, she will be lecturing on
the Rake’s at the Monaco Palace, Principality of Monaco. Thereafter she will go back to her
regular address, 36 rue Ballu, Paris 9ème.
Sincerely,
IS
