But is Gavoty worth worrying about? Accept the attached letter. The boy who wrote it was sick about what happened on Friday. He is good and he has talent. 1. Would you allow your name to be put forth to the Committee for Father Desobry? 2. Would you allow Charles Leirens to come and take a photo of you? He takes very beautiful pictures. I’m of course sad not to have seen you, and now it’s too late. But I love you even though I cannot see you. To you both, Nadia B � * * * Boulanger à Stravinsky 17 novembre 1958 36 rue Ballu, 9è Cher Ami, L’absurdité est offensante ! Mais Gavotry vaut-il qu’on s’indigne ? Accueillez la lettre jointe. Le garçon qui l’écrit a été malade de ce qui s’est passé vendredi. Il est bien et a de la valeur. 1. Voulez-vous permettre que votre nom figure au Comité du Père Desobry ? 2. Permettiez-vous que Charles Leirens vienne prendre une photo de vous—Il en a fait de très belles ? Suis triste, bien sûr, de ne pas vous voir, et maintenant c’est trop tard—Mais je vous aime tant que je peux ne pas vous voir.

What prayers wouldn’t I say so that you would conduct The Rake, Dear Igor, but I don’t dare believe it yet! Recently heard an incredibly striking rehearsal for Noces—amateur choir, disoriented at first, soon took the score on, and ultimately were overtaken by a not impeccable enthusiasm, but modestly did their best. Good soloists, a conductor who knew his role, [but a] foolish public. It’s running for only one repeat performance. Excuse this second letter—about the theme—I doubt you have accepted, but understand that Gavoty insisted I countersign his letter. Try to pull yourself away from the delights of Capone and come quickly—we need you here! And everywhere. How I miss my couch and those days in Hollywood! But telling you how much I miss you, I wonder if you know, and think sometimes of me? Lie [if you must], but just tell me that you do. Dear Vera, dear Igor, with hugs and kisses, I love you deeply. Your Nadia B. [P.S.] MERRY CHRISTMAS [P.P.S.] Finally have “my” orchestral score for The Rake’s—what joy! � Boulanger à Stravinsky 36 rue Ballu Paris, IX [le 25 décembre 1951] Arriverai-je au jour dit pour que mes vœux vous disent ma constante pensée. Quelles prières ne fais-je pas pour que le Rake’s soit conduit par vous, Cher Igor, mais je n’ose encore y croire ! Entendu dernièrement une audition de Noces très frappante—chœur d’amateurs, d’abord désorienté, bientôt se procurant la partition, et finalement, pris d’un enthousiasme pas toujours impeccable, mais modestement s’y efforçant. Bons solistes—chef connaissant bien son affaire, public fou, coulant qu’un bisse. Pardon pour la 2de lettre—au sujet thème—je doute que vous acceptiez mais, je comprends bien que Gavoty ait [sic] insisté pour que je contresigne sa lettre. Tâchez de vous arracher aux délices de Capone, et d’arriver vite [sic]—on a besoin de vous ici ! Et partout. Que je regrette mon canapé—et ces jours à Hollywood ! Mais vous dire combien vous me manquez—je me demande si vous le savez—et pensez parfois à moi ? Mentez—mais dites-moi que oui. Chère Vera, Cher Igor, je vous embrasse—et vous aime profondément.

You did well in keeping a copy of the little chorale for yourself, because one of the two was in fact intended for you, the other for you to give to Gavoty at Le Figaro, which you have surely done. I am happy and reassured to know you have finally received the three volumes of The Rake (photocopy of my summary sketches). Do you know a professor (I do not know of what) by the name of Leon Oleggini? I recently received a letter from the editors Maurice and Pierre Foetisch, of Lausanne, telling me that they had bought the manuscript of a book written about me by this gentleman. They asked me to supply them with photos to illustrate the book that they propose to publish with a catalogue of my works!!! I calmed them down, knowing neither the author nor the book and not having the time to dedicate to them. But on the other hand, I am in the process of making, on my own, and little by little, a complete (and, for the first time, exact) catalogue of my complete works. Nabokov tells me that they, in principle, agree I may conduct The Rake at the opera, but that Lehmann cannot decide anything for three weeks. On the other hand, Dr. Roth writes me from London that Bondeville is managing the opera. Ultimately, I do not understand who is in charge of whom or what. Nabokov pointed out to me new singers that I of course do not know: Janine Michaud (Anne), Roger Bourdin (Shadow). Do you know them? Have you seen the French translation? If so, what do you think of it? Be an angel and respond to me as quickly as possible, it would be a pleasure to hear from you. Love, I Str. � Stravinsky à Boulanger 1260 North Wetherly Drive Hollywood 46, California Mademoiselle Nadia Boulanger 36 rue Ballu Paris 9ème (FRANCE) 22 janvier 1952 Chere Nadia, Merci de votre affectueuse lettre (du 17 Janvier). Vous avez bien fait de garder pour vous un exemplaire du petite chorale [sic] car l’un des deux vous etait en effet destine, l’autre devant etre remis par vos soins a Gavoty, du Figaro, ce que vous avez surement fait. Je suis content et rassure d’apprendre que vous avez enfin reçu les trois volumes du RAKE (photocopie de mes summary sketches). Connaissez-vous un professeur (je ne sais de quoi) du nom de Leon Oleggini ? J’ai reçu dernierement une lettre des editeurs Maurice et Pierre Foetisch, de Lausanne, me disant qu’ils avaient acheté le manuscrit d’un livre ecrit sur moi par ce monsieur. Ils me demandaient de leur fournir differentes photos pour illustrer l’ouvrage qu’ils se proposent de publier avec le catalogue de mes œuvres !!! Je les ai calmes, ne connaissant ni l’auteur ni l’ouvrage et n’ayant pas de temps a leur consacrer. Mais par contre je suis en train de faire moi-meme, petit a petit, un catalogue complet (et pour la premiere fois exact) de mon œuvre complete. Nabakov m’ecrit qu’on est en principe d’accord pour que je dirige le RAKE a l’Opera , mais que Lehmann ne peut rien decider avant 3 semaines. D’autre part le Dr. Roth m’ecrit de Londres que l’Opera est entre les mains de Bondeville. Finalement je ne comprends pas qui commande qui et quoi. Nabokov me signale des chanteurs nouveaux que je ne connais evidemment pas : Janine Michaud (Anne), Roger Bourdin (Shadow). Les connaissez-vous ? Avez-vous vu la traduction francaise, si oui qu’en pensez-vous ? Soyez un ange, et repondez-moi le plus vite possible, vous me ferez plaisir.
