I know that we see things in the exact same way. Thus, you will have completely understood the fundamental motives of the three-week-long stay that Denise and I just had in Munich; neither we nor others can do anything for the situation,[but] we can save what can be saved for the good of my father. This is because there is nobody around him to think reasonably both about his health and his mental comfort. What is perhaps the saddest aspect of all of this is the mental solitude in which he finds himself confined, to which he almost surrenders at times, but he can’t break out of. It is hard to understand from the outside. We ourselves can only suspect the extent of it and now that we are certain of it . . . With regard to the course of the disease, speaking of convalescence, it is going satisfactorily at the present moment. The immediate moment is not alarming. It is the future that worries us terribly, as nothing will be done to look after him, despite what is said. And, alas, the problem is much more complicated by the fact that Prof. Diehl (the doctor treating him), whom I believe to be a good practitioner, but who committed, as soon as the treatment began, the incommensurable psychological error of leaving my father with the hope of an early resumption of his activity! It’s truly crazy, but that’s how it is. It is clear that it wasn’t necessary to brutally tell him “Never again!” but it would have been at least necessary to set aside the future and to expect only a partial return to his activity in a future that is as vague and as far away as possible. This is what should have been clearly established from the start. The next scheduled concert (the 29th of this month in Rome) must then take place, at least in principle, in three weeks! It’s incredible! It is true that he’ll only conduct the Canticum Sacrum with the same choir as in Venice, but still! The only thing we find reassuring about the situation is that our friend Dr. Gilbert from Geneva— who came twice to see my father in Munich at our request, and explained to him rather abruptly the very serious danger he is now exposed to—will go to Geneva and Rome, specifically to be on site. He will check everything just before the rehearsals, and if necessary, keep him from picking up the baton. And above all, [he is going] especially to intervene in whatever way his status as friend and professional expert allows him, in order to attempt [to convince] my father [not to do] the London concert that should take place a few days later and that he doesn’t want to give up for anything in the world—only because of Professor Diehl’s attitude. But at least he accepted to submit, in extremis, to the verdict of Dr. Gilbert at the time of the Rome concert. London, then, will ultimately be cancelled, but you see how complicated all of this is. Good, but what next? Because it’s upon returning to America, first to New York, where they have quite a number of projects, then to Hollywood, which will be the terrible danger. This is what terrifies us, because there’s nobody over there, I fear, to oppose him with the necessary authority, in his most unreasonable undertakings . . . and we can do absolutely nothing about it! There’s nothing left for us but the consolation, which is very slight, of telling you that without our time in Munich, nothing would have changed in his life, either now or in the next few weeks. I am telling you this without modesty: if Denise and I had not gone to Munich, I believe that we would already be in �the midst of running full speed directly toward catastrophe . . . You come to mind, very dear Friend, among the very rare people who can understand all of this and share in our worries, and to whom we can speak with so freely. We are infinitely grateful to you for this . . . Allow me to send you all of our friendly and affectionate devotion, Théodore P.S. Is it necessary to add all that we are feeling in regard to what is currently going on in the world?! More than ever, our only comfort must be in the Catholic faith. � Théodore Strawinsky à Boulanger Genève 7 novembre 1956 Chère Nadia, En rentrant à Vassorré vous avez trouvé, rue Ballu, ma lettre. Je sais que nous voyons les choses exactement de la même façon. Aussi aurez-vous compris parfaitement les motifs profonds du séjour de trois semaines que Denise et moi venons de faire à Munich ; il s’agissait, dans une situation de fait contre laquelle nous ne pouvons rien ni les nous, ni les autres, de sauver pour le bien de mon père tout ce qui peut être sauvé. Car il n’y a personne auprès de lui pour penser raisonnablement tant à sa santé qu’à son confort moral. Ce qu’il y a peut-être de plus triste dans l’ensemble, c’est la solitude morale dans laquelle il se trouve confiné, qu’il avoue presque par moments mais qu’il ne peut plus rompre. Il est difficile de s’en rendre compte de l’extérieur. Nous-mêmes ne pouvoir que le soupçonner, nous en avons maintenant acquis la certitude... Quant au cours de la maladie, disons de la convalescence, cela va semble-t-il pour le moment d’une façon satisfaisante. L’immédiat n’est pas alarmant. C’est l’avenir qui nous inquiète terriblement, car rien ne sera fait pour le ménager, bien au contraire, malgré des paroles. Et le problème a compliqué beaucoup, hélas ! du fait du Prof. Diehl (le médecin traitant) qui est je crois un bon praticien, mais qui a commis dès le commencement l’incommensurable erreur psychologique de laisser à mon père l’espoir d’une reprise prochaine de son activité ! C’est une pure folie mais c’est comme cela. Il est clair qu’il ne fallait pas lui dire brutalement « plus jamais ! » mais au moins fallait-il réserver l’avenir et n’envisager éventuellement une reprise limitée d’activité que dans un futur vague et aussi éloigné que possible. Voilà ce qui aurait dû être établi clairement dès le premier jour. Au bien de cela, le prochain concert prévu (le 29 de ce mois à Rome) doit donc avoir lieu, du moins en principe, dans trois semaines ! On croit rêver ! Il est vrai qu’il n’y dirigera que le Canticum Sacrum et avec le même chœur qu’à Venise, mais tout de même ! La seule chose qui nous rassure à ce sujet est que notre ami le Dr. Gilbert de Genève qui, sur notre demande, est venu voir mon père deux fois à Munich et lui a expliqué, presque crûment, le danger très grave auquel il est maintenant exposé, ira tout exprès de Genève à Rome pour être sur place, fais tous les examens nécessaires juste avant les répétitions et, s’il y a bien, lui interdire de prendre la baguette et surtout pour intervenir par tous les moyens que lui confèrent et son amitié et son autorité professionnelle afin de faire tâcher à mon père le concert de Londres qui devrait avoir bien quelques jours plus tard et auquel—uniquement à cause de l’attitude du Prof Diehl—il ne veut actuellement renoncer pour rien au monde. Mais au moins a- t-il accepté de se soumettre, in extremis, au verdict du Dr. Gilbert au moment du concert de Rome. Londres sera donc, en fin de compter supprimé, mais vous voyez combien tout cela est difficile et compliqué. Bon, mais après ? Car c’est au retour en Amérique, à New York d’abord où ils ont une foule de projets, à Hollywood ensuite, que sera le terrible danger. C’est cela qui nous épouvante car il n’y aura personne là-bas, je le crains, pour s’opposer, avec l’autorité nécessaire, aux plus folles entreprises…et nous n’y pouvons absolument rien ! Il ne nous reste que la consolation, bien maigre, de vous dire que sans notre séjour à Munich, rien n’aurait été �changé dans sa vie, même maintenant et dans les prochaines semaines. Je le dis sans modestie : si Denise et moi n’étions pas aller à Munich, je crois qu’on serait déjà en train de courir à toute vitesse directement à la catastrophe… Vous venez en tête, chère grande Amie, parmi les très rares personnes qui peuvent comprendre tout cela et partagent nos angoisses et à qui nous puissions en parler avec autant de liberté. Nous vous en savons un gré infini… Permettez-moi de vous embrasse avec tout notre affectueux et amical dévouement, Théodore P.-S. Est-il besoin d’ajouter tout ce que l’on ressent à la vue de ce qui se passe actuellement dans le monde entier ? ! Plus que jamais notre unique consolation doit être dans la foi Catholique. � 1956 Author: Théodore Stravinsky Canticum Sacrum Denise Stravinsky Denise Strawinsky Recipient: Nadia Boulanger Theodore Strawinsky https://digex.lib.uoguelph.ca/files/original/b4169c5a39301e50c4d5e31385ea847c.pdf a7be11f9fbf9186b7bd7ef9081e0242d https://digex.lib.uoguelph.ca/files/original/c33ba83adf53f869f9ad4b0e17ae3262.pdf 888fab990080b9e382f37fc4345cabb0 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

With marvelous courage, he offers to God his pain as a son, and he confronts the whole situation, certainly with pain, but with a spirit that will keep its serenity. As much in New York as in Venice, we have constantly felt your faithful friendship, love, and the admiration that you have had for our dear father. For Théodore and for me as well, I say to you, our great and dear Friend, thank you for your prayers, for your constant thoughts, and your comforting friendship. I am attaching to this letter a text that Théodore wrote just a month ago (and dedicated it to you), and I would ask you be so kind as to have it read to you. I find it admirably refreshing, pure, and, today, so upsetting. It is to accompany an album of records [that were] edited in Japanese in Japan. We have to send it back to Tokyo at the beginning of May, but Théodore, according to his contract, is free to have it published wherever he wants beforehand. Given the tragic events, we wondered if it wouldn’t be an opportune moment to publish this text in France, without delay, in an important newspaper and we thought about [Le] Figaro, in the weekly literary insert. But unfortunately, we no longer know anyone! Nobody. In Geneva they would take it right away, but the circulation would be too limited. If the text resonates with you, dear Nadia, could you suggest to whom we should possibly address it, and better yet, could you yourself speak to the Editor? We have a series of contemplative photos of my dear father-in-law amid the members of his family that (as is the case with Théodore’s text) shows a little-known side of Strawinsky that the children would be happy to see returned to its [rightful] place, since, for a long time, [people] have been working to erase the memory of a family life that was so deep, so true, so beautiful, and which is engraved in the hearts of Igor and Catherine’s children, hearts which today have been so painfully hurt. I am ashamed to take your precious time, but I know you will forgive me. Allow us to send you all our love along with our deep and grateful affection. Denise � Denise Stravinsky à Boulanger 21 avril 1971 Genève Chère Nadia, Théodore ne veut penser qu’à la délivrance, remercier Dieu pour son bien aimé père. Sa douleur de fils il l’offre avec un merveilleux courage et il affronte toute la situation, avec douleur certes mais avec une âme qui veut garder toute sa sérénité. Votre fidèle amitié, l’amour et l’admiration que vous aviez pour notre cher père, nous les avons constamment sentis présents tout à New York qu’à Venise. Pour Théodore et pour moi aussi, je vous dis, chère grande Amie, merci de vos prières, de vos constantes pensées, de votre réconfortante amitié. Je joins à ces lignes un texte que je vous demanderais d’avoir la bonté de vous faire lire, que Théodore a écrit il y a un mois à peine (et vous l’avait dédié). Je le trouve admirable de fraicheur, de pureté, et aujourd’hui combien bouleversant. Il soit accompagné un album de disques édité au Japon, en japonais. Nous devons la remettre à Tokio [sic] début mai, mais Théodore, d’après son contrat, est libre de la faire paraître avant et où il veut. Étant donné les tragiques événements nous nous sommes demandé s’il ne serait pas opportun de faire paraître ce texte, sans tarder, en France, dans un journal important et nous avons pensé au Figaro dans la feuille littéraire hebdomadaire. Mais nous n’y connaisseur, hélas ! plus personne. A Genève ou [sic] le prendrait tout de suite, mais la diffusion en est trop limitée. Si le texte trouve en vous, chère Nadia, un écho, verriez- vous la possibilité soit de nous dire à qui nous adresser soit, et mieux encore, en parler vous-même à la Rédaction ? Nous avons une série de photographies méditer [sic] de mon cher beau-père au milieu de siens qui (comme la texte de Théodore) montre une figure de Strawinsky peu connue et que les enfants seraient heureux de voir remise à sa place puisqu’on travaille depuis déjà longtemps, à faire oublier une vie familiale qui fut si grande, si vraie, si belle, et qui est gravée profondément dans le cœur, aujourd’hui si douloureusement blessé, des enfants d’Igor et Catherine Strawinsky. Je suis confuse de vous prendre votre temps si précieux mais je sais que vous me pardonnerez.

And what can we say about the real drama that is playing out around my father who is already three-quarters in the hands of God? It’s in such moments that the real values appear to our eyes from the heart, and one feels their unique importance: real friendships, real commitment, and profound faith. You know, dear Nadia, the place in our hearts your friendship occupies, resolutely linked to my father and to my mother. It’s all that matters. We would like to be able to erase all of the rest. Alas! It’s not so easy. We are just here a few days to rest, and we’ll be returning to Geneva as of January 5 or 6.

Yes, the problems that are cropping up are so painful, and, as you say, critical in any plans, but what and how should I feel when all access toward my father has been virtually blocked?! What a tragedy, foremost for him, but also for us, his children . . . In such a situation we are powerless, because what can we do that won’t provoke too much of a painful shock for him, even though I know his deepest thoughts. I have just received a heartbreaking letter from Milène. The poor girl has front row seats to this tragedy. They are in New York (I mean my father) and plan to go to Paris around the 15th of this month. Here is Milène’s address: Mrs. André Marion 146 South La Peer Drive Los Angeles Calif. 90048 U.S.A. I send my heartfelt love, dear Nadia. Perhaps we’ll see each other soon, Théodore � Igor and Vera Stravinsky to Boulanger NADIA BOULANGER 36 RUE BALLU VIA PARIS SEPTEMBER 30, 1969 DEAR NADIA, WE THINK ABOUT YOU WITH LOVE AND HOPE TO SEE YOU IN PARIS IN ONE MONTH IGOR, VERA � 1969 Author: Théodore Stravinsky Denise Stravinsky Denise Strawinsky Milène Marion Milène Stravinsky Recipient: Nadia Boulanger Théodore Stravinsky Theodore Strawinsky Vera Stravinsky
