Are you going? Are you in Venice—is the past still living in the present? All of this is preoccupying me as I know you are tormented by it. And it’s sad, as each loses and nobody wins. And what we lose, especially in this manner, is never to be found again. I want to hope that my worries are in vain, that you were able to spend some time with your Father, to hear his new work, well-performed. Alas, new works always seem difficult, audacious pieces, or more accurately, incomprehensible. And in all his glory, your Father knows the bitterness of being, ultimately, rather alone with the present—so cruelly and blindly misunderstood. All of that seems paradoxical and is veiled by a small number of enlightened musicians and some courtiers. Certainly, it does not matter: Le Sacre, Noces, Œdipe and soon Canticum Sacrum, then Threni will take their legitimate places. I am very sad not to be in Venice, close to him—you know what is in my heart, in my mind, in my life every day. But whether I’m close or far away, he always seems present to me, and my reverence never ceases to accompany him. Dear Théodore, all of this tells you, does it not, how much I love you all, Denise, Kitty—in the memory of your Mother. And I am your, Nadia B. P.S. I’ll be in Lans en Vercors until the end of the month without a doubt � * * * Boulanger à Théodore Strawinsky 15 septembre 1960 Cher Théodore, Je pense beaucoup à vous en ce moment. Allez-vous, êtes-vous à Venise—le passé reste- t-il vivant dans le présent ? Tout cela me préoccupe comme je vous en sais tourmenté. Et c’est triste, car chacun perd et personne ne gagne. Et ce que nous perdons, dans cet ordre surtout, ne se retrouve jamais. Je veux espérer que mes alarmes sont vaines, que vous avez pu aller passer quelques temps avec votre Père, entendre sa nouvelle œuvre, bien exécutée. Hélas les œuvres neuves semblent toujours difficiles, les œuvres audacieuses, ou plus réellement vraies, incompréhensibles. Et dans toute sa gloire, votre Père connaît l’amertume d’être, en fin de compte, à peu près seul avec son présent—si cruellement et aveuglément méconnu. Tout cela semble paradoxal et est voilé par un petit nombre de musiciens plus éclairés et de quelques courtisans. Certes il importe peu : le Sacre, Noces, Œdipe et bientôt Canticum Sacrum, puis Threni prendront leur place légitime. Suis très triste de n’être pas à Venise, près de lui—vous savez ce qu’il est dans mon cœur, dans mon esprit, dans ma vie de chaque jour. Mais que je sois proche ou lointaine, il me semble toujours présent et ma vénération ne cesse de l’accompagner. Cher Théodore, tout cela qui vous dit, n’est-ce pas, combien je vous aime tous, Denise, Kitty—dans le souvenir de votre Mère. Et je suis votre Nadia B.

Even when the operation is nothing serious, it’s always bothersome to undergo anaesthesia [and] we hope you are now free of the effects . . . and we would be happy to have a little note to reassure us. I don’t need to tell you how sad I was to see my father leave, or more exactly to know he returned to America in less than perfect health (despite a . . . [illegibile] improvement) and the distance that will separate us can do nothing but add to our anxiety and our worry . . . And no one to watch over him. I will have an exhibition at André Weil’s, on Matignon Avenue during the last two weeks in February. Denise and I will be coming to Paris at the end of January, and we would be delighted to see you again. In anticipation, dear Nadia, accept our heartfelt wishes. Wishes for you at the end of this year and on Christmas Eve. Affectionately yours, Théodore P.S.

Je n’ai pas besoin de vous dire avec quelle tristesse j’ai vu mon père partir ou plus exactement de le savoir regagner l’Amérique dans un état fort peu brillant (malgré un…[lettre endommagée] amélioration) et les mètres qui vont nous séparer ne peuvent qu’ajouter à notre angoisse et à notre inquiétude…Et personne pour veiller sur lui.

I do hope that you are suffering less. But it has been so long—it’s a burden to be so patient. I saw your father-in-law upon his return from Moscow, walking with a bit of difficulty, but with an extraordinary presence—so preoccupied by you, by you all. The recording of the Flood is impressive and allows for an understanding of the grandeur of the work. Regarding A Sermon, Narration, Prayer [sic], which I heard on the radio, it is profoundly moving. And if mastering these ever-new means is stupefying, the emotion that emanates from this sublime work is inexpressible. What a supreme force of thought and feeling —which [others] want to ignore! Hug one another [for me] and know I am your, Nadia B. P.S. Not yet been able to write to Kitty. Going to do it one of these days I hope! � * * * Boulanger à Denise Stravinsky 18 février 1962 Chère Denise, Sans nouvelles depuis longtemps, je me sens pourtant proche et ma pensée ne vous quitte pas.

Vu votre beau-père à son retour de Moscou, marchant avec un peu de difficulté, mais d’une présence extraordinaire—si préoccupé de vous de vous tous. Le disque du Flood est impressionnant et permet de comprendre la grandeur de l’œuvre. Quant à celui de Sermon, Narration Prayer[sic], entendu à la radio, il est profondément émouvant. Et si la maîtrise de moyens toujours nouveaux est stupéfiante, l’émotion qui se dégage de cette œuvre sublime, elle est indicible.

I am so shaken up. I spent Sunday afternoon with your Father— surprising strength, enthusiasm and tenderness. The worry he creates for himself, for Denise, for you, for Kitty. Perhaps he seems to remain silent, but he lives with those who are his life and every detail remains engraved—all hidden in a seemingly contradictory appearance, but nevertheless rooted within. His impressions, his trip, this return to his childhood, his sense of modesty, his way of saying nothing but what he wants to, and how the words must veil or divulge. It is true, he walks with difficulty, it’s the only time where one can see the signs of the shocks he has undergone. His spirit is young, alive, innovative, mobile, and what clairvoyance, what conviction as well, which sometimes creates incontrollable, spontaneous reactions. Unfortunately, I must hurry, I can spare anything but time, but I am with you, sharing in your hopes, your expectations, knowing the weight of your intense patience. Give Denise my love and know, both of you, that my thoughts never leave you. Thank you again. Yours, NB � * * * Boulanger à Théodore Strawinsky [sans date] [1962] Cher Théodore, Pardon de ne pas vous avoir écrit encore. Suis si bousculée.

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.

No, I did not know anything about this interview or, rather, pseudo-interview: When I think about this summer when we saw my father in Evian every day, he was totally incapable of associating two ideas or two sentences in a row, having never even understood that he was in Evian and no longer in New York! But the drama that surrounds him is so great nothing surprises me . . . Would you be so kind as to give me—by return mail if possible—the reference of the journal that published the text and the date it came out, so that I might find it? You understand us, I know, and you know how much all this tears us apart. Thank you wholeheartedly. How I would love to see you! Denise and I send our love and all of our deepest affection, Théodore � * * * Théodore Strawinsky à Boulanger Genève 20 novembre 1970 Chère grande Amie, Une fois de plus votre mot me bouleverse. Non, je ne sais rien de cette interview ou plutôt pseudo-interview : quand je pense que cet été où nous avons vu mon père à Evian chaque jour, il était totalement incapable d’associer deux idées ou deux phrases de suite, n’ayant même jamais compris qu’il était à Evian et non plus à New York ! Mais le drame est si grand autour de lui que tout me parait possible… Auriez-vous la grande bonté de me donner—par retour de courrier si possible—la référence, c. à. d. la revue qui a publié ce texte et la date de la parution, afin que je puisse le procurer. Vous nous comprenez, je le sais, et vous savez combien tout cela nous déchire. Merci de tout cœur. Comme j’aimerais vous voir ! Nous vous embrassons, Denise et moi, avec toute votre profonde affection. Théodore � 1970 Author: Théodore Stravinsky Denise Stravinsky Denise Strawinsky Recipient: Nadia Boulanger Theodore Strawinsky
