My dear, dear Nadia,
Here is a response to your letter of December 7.
1) Tell Felix Passerone that it is not a question of my permission (I give it to him with pleasure)
but that of Boosey &amp; Hawkes’s (Dr. E. Roth in London) which causes me to advise him against
keeping the anonymity of the source (because he writes to me: . . . “these ‘rhythms’ are taken
from the repertoire without indication of the source”). It would be more prudent to guarantee an
OK from B&amp;H themselves.
2) Despite your hesitations, I hope all the same to see you in Rome or elsewhere in Europe.
Love,
I. Str.

Chere, chere Nadia,
Voici la reponse a votre lettre du 7 [dec].
1) Dites a Felix Passerone qu’il ne s’agit pas de mon accord (je lui le donne avec plaisir) mais de
celui de Boosey &amp; Hawkes (Dr. E. Roth a Londres) ce qui m’amene a lui deconseiller de garder
l’anonymat de la source (car il m’ecrit :… « ces « rithmes » sont tires du repertoire sans
indication de la source »). Il serait plus prudent de se garantir un OK de B&amp;H.
2) Malgre vos hesitations j’ai quand meme l’espoir de vous voir a Rome ou ailleurs en Europe.
Love,
I. Str.

It’s me again, my very Dear Friend!! After you so kindly complained of my silence, you’re going
to regret it!
But I’ll quickly support Passerone’s request, he has much talent, he is serious, so “informed” and
so modest.
How the Rome plan tempts me. It is so sad to see you so rarely. I think of Santa Barbara, of those
hours with you. Nothing seems more important to me, and yet, I sacrifice them.
The so-called “modern” works triumphed, [there was] a violent reaction to Varèse. [The critics]
are so old-fashioned and pretentious. Bah! Water rushes, washes them away, and . . . nothing
remains.
I send my love to you both and am with all my heart,
Your
NB
[P.S.] Don’t take the trouble to write to Passerone, just tell me if you are in agreement . . . or not.

Encore moi, Bien cher Ami !!! Après vous être si gentiment plaint de mon silence, vous l’allez
regretter !
Mais, j’appuie très vivement la requête de Passerone—il a tant de talent, est si sérieux, si
« informé », et si modeste.
Que la projet Rome me tente—c’est si triste de si peu vous voir. Je pense à Santa Barbara, à ces
heures chez vous. Rien ne me parait plus important, et pourtant, je le sacrifie.
Les œuvres dites « modernes » ont sévi, pour Varèse, violente réaction. Qu’ils sont donc
démodés et prétentieux. Bah ! L’eau coule, les entraine, et…rien ne subsiste.
Je vous embrasse et suis de tout cœur,
Votre
NB
[P.-S.] Ne prenez pas la peine d’écrire à Passerone, Dites-moi seulement si vous êtes
d’accord…ou non.
