I rejoice for you, but I am sad, very sad. It was such a great and necessary happiness. We all needed you so much. The agreement (l’accord) that awaited you would have moved you. It cannot be so. It’s sad for us—a cruel disappointment. But I’m convincing myself that it’s better [this way], that you are right. Sorry for not being able to write you. I do nothing but produce variations on a single theme, [an] ostinato, and you would find me boredom personified. Therefore, having told you about my grief all the same, I thank you for this Orpheus that gives up a few more of its secrets to me every day [and] that has dazzled me with its beauty since the first reading. What a marvelous composition. What beautiful music. What order and what invention. Every . . . but what ridicule I set myself up for. I see myself explaining your own score to you. How naïve. I know well enough that in front of you we must listen and keep quiet. I only want to speak so as to provoke and incite your reactions. How far away they are, and so present, the beautiful, dear days spent at your house. I think of them with joy, and find in them an ever-renewed spring that nourishes and drives me. Dear Igor, Dear Vera, I love you tenderly. I discover this with renewed feeling following your seemingly certain arrival. And now Easter’s here. I remember its promise and again want to believe in our reunion, God knows where and when. With fondness, I am your NB P.S. Tell me what I owe you for the score. I am so happy to have it. I liked Haïeff’s article a lot! � Boulanger à Stravinsky 36 rue Ballu 23 mars 1948 Que vous dire, mon Ami, je comprends. Je me réjouis pour vous, mais je suis triste, très triste. C’était un si grand, un si nécessaire bonheur. Nous avions tous si grand besoin de vous. L’accord qui vous attendait vous aurait touché. Il n’en peut être ainsi, c’est un malheur pour nous, une cruelle déception. Mais je me persuade que c’est mieux, que vous avez raison. Pardon de ne pouvoir vous écrire, je ne ferais que des Variations sur un seul thème, ostinato, et vous me trouveriez l’ennui personnifié. Donc, vous ayant dit tout de même mon chagrin, je vous remercie de cet Orpheus qui chaque jour me livre un peu de ses secrets, avoir m’avoir ébloui par sa beauté dès la 1ère lecture. Quelle merveilleuse composition. Quelle belle musique. Quel ordre et quelle invention. Chaque…mais dans quel ridicule ne vais-je pas tomber. Je me vois vous expliquant votre partition. Comme on est naïf. Allons, je sais bien qu’il faut, devant vous, écouter, et se taire. Seulement j’ai envie de parler pour vous provoquer et susciter vos réactions. Qu’ils sont lointains, et si présents, les beaux, chers jours passés chez vous. J’y pense de la joie, et y trouve une source toujours renouvelée qui me nourrit, me pousser[sic]. Cher Igor, Chère Véra, je vous aime tendrement. Je le découvre, avec un nouveau sentiment, votre venue paraissant si sûre. Voici Pâques. J’en retiens la promesse et veux encore croire à notre réunion. Dieu sait où et quand. Je vous embrasse et suis votre, NB P.-S. Dites-moi ce que je vous dois pour la partition. Que je suis heureuse de l’avoir.

Strawinsky Ritz Tower Hotel New York City Apr. 26, 1943 Dear Friend, I will be there on the 9th, for sure. Could you arrange it so that we have seats together (Marcelle, Haïeff, my godchild and his fiancée) Vera and me? In other words, I will take five seats next to Vera. It will be so good to meet up for such an occasion. Would Vera truly take care of it for me? The Concerto went well, and seems clearer, more beautiful to me after this new work. The musicians were all happy to work with such diligent care. It is so good to see them understand it and to find therein a calm and dignity too often forgotten. How I wish I were able to tell you all that I know—but I express myself so poorly—and besides, your music does not need us to “speak” about it, thank Heaven. I am sending you a program. I believe you would have loved the whole thing, and this is a source of courage for me, to have lived in your shadow, [and] by your truth. My love to both of you, with much tender affection, N [P.S.] On this Easter Day, I am close to you both. � Boulanger to Stravinsky 122 Bay State Road Boston, Massachusetts Kenmore 7277 Monsieur I.

Pouvez-vous arranger que nous ayons des places ensemble (Marcelle, Haïeff, Mon filleul et sa fiancée) Vera et moi. Je veux dire 5 places que je louerai mais à côté de Vera. Ce serait si bon de se retrouver pour une telle occasion. Véra veut-elle bien s’en occuper pour moi. Le Concerto a bien marché, et me semble encore plus clair, plus beau après ce nouveau travail. Les musiciens étaient tous heureux de travailler avec ce soin indispensable. C’est bien de les voir le comprendre et y trouver un repos, une dignité trop oubliée. Que ne puis-je vous dire tout ce que je sais – mais je m’exprime trop mal, et puis, votre musique n’a pas besoin que l’on « parle » d’elle, Grâce au ciel. Je vous envoie un programme. Je crois que vous auriez aimé la tout, et ce m’est une source de courage que de vivre dans votre ombre, par votre vérité. Je vous embrasse tous deux, avec tant de tendre affection.
