This music (complete parts for the Concerto in E-flat) will be sent in rolls (three, if I’m not mistaken) by mail and . . . Strecker hopes that there will not be any difficulties with customs that could slow the arrival of this music in time for rehearsals—something which would be truly dreadful. In my first letter to you (of April 6), I had asked if you had seen Mrs. Bliss and if you had spoken to her on the subject of our last meeting here—which is to say the question of the second and final payment. You never responded (I can only imagine everything you have going on inside your head!). If you think of it, would you be so kind as to speak with her about it to speed up the payment, which would do me a great service (especially now—God knows what the sickness of my daughter and wife are costing me). I impatiently await news of rehearsals and of the scores, if they arrive in time. Fondly, Your I. Str [P.S.] Excuse the hasty scribbling � Boulanger à Stravinsky Monsieur I. Strawinsky 25 Fauborg St. Honoré Paris, France 15 mai 1938 Cher Ami, Je n’ai pas pu vous écrire, parce que la vie que je mène est un impossible problème. Il me faut pourtant vous dire quelle joie a été ce concert du 8 chez les Bliss. Je savais, mais ne savais rien, quelle joie me réservant l’exécution du Concerto—et en l’entendant j’ai, une fois de plus, compris ce que je ne sais pas vous dire, que je ne peux pas exprimer, mais qui est dans ma vie, une certitude d’une telle solitude. Et après tous les cours consacrés à votre musique, je crois que je comprends vraiment mieux. Le Concerto a été joué honnêtement, bien, vraiment bien –et a été entendu, je crois. Il reste beaucoup de fautes—et quelques problèmes—je souhaite que vous puissiez attendre mon retour pour imprimer, car il me semble que quelques passages devraient être modifiés dans les parties (répliques insuffisantes, la notation, etc.) et je ne peux dresser cette liste maintenant—je travaille presque nuit et jour. Comment vous remercier –et comment vous prouver un si grand dévouement—tout est éclairé par vous—non seulement par vos œuvres, mais par la clarté qu’elles projettent sur toute la musique. Vous nous avez rendu des oreilles et une conscience. Je ne peux me détacher du Concerto —tout sonne d’une telle manière ! A vous, aux votres [sic], je pense avec une tendre affection, et suis près de vous durant ces heures lourdes d’angoisse. Que Dieu soit avec vous, et ramène la paix. C’est si affreux, cette impuissance devant la maladie. Votre Nadia [P.-S.] Il faut que vous sachiez ce qu’ont été les Bliss, si émus par le Concerto et si reconnaissants. � 1938 Author: Nadia Boulanger Concerto in E-Flat Dumbarton Oaks Concerto Igor Location: 25 Faubourg Mildred Woods Bliss Recipient: Igor Stravinsky https://digex.lib.uoguelph.ca/files/original/c3712dd58e09dc699739fc1f683318d7.pdf 507d7405a1094650d6e1416bbb8fa106 https://digex.lib.uoguelph.ca/files/original/052538b45962bc7f0f30632df87f4592.pdf bfef71e41ca8590a94e8594ad87495ce Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Pier 90, N.R. N.Y.C Mr. Igor Strawinsky 25 Rue du Faubourg St. Honoré Paris, France April 19, 1938 Dear Friend, I just sent you a wire because I am very worried about not having received the material for the first two movements. The final movement, which I know well now, is so beautiful. The copying will be done very carefully and I think that all will be well. I believe that Mrs. Bliss counts on having the manuscript for the performance. Would you please send it to me? I will deliver it to her. Or would you prefer to send it to her directly? Excuse my meddling in something that does not concern me—but . . . have you thought to have the dedication printed Another thing: I do not know if you should come here next year—but could we draft an agreement saying that you reserve—for you firstly, and then for me should you be unable—the performance of the Concerto, for one year? I am writing to Strecker to say the same thing, but naturally, only what suits you can suit me. But, it seems to me that I have so connected my life with your work this year that I would give anything—if you do not come—to have the remarkable privilege of making the concerto known here. Forgive me if you find this request indiscreet, [and] know that I am guided only by my deep affection for what you mean to all of us, and not foolish ambition. It is a matter of pride in knowing what this concerto represents. Last night, again, at Wellesley, it was such a wonderful time with Le Sacre. Today with the Duo concertant; the day before yesterday with the Concerto for Two Pianos; Saturday the Ave Maria; next week, Mavra; and so forth . . . How can I thank you? My thoughts go much further, because a work of art, to a certain degree, is an image of God. I cannot express it, but I know the proof flows from what is beautiful, from what is.

Igor Strawinsky 25 rue du Faubourg St. Honore [sic] Paris, France 19 avril 1938 Cher Ami, Je viens de vous envoyer un câble, car je suis très inquiète de n’avoir pas reçu le matériel des 2 premiers mouvements. Le final, que je connais maintenant bien, est si beau aussi. La copie en sera faite très soigneusement et je pense que tout sera bien. Je crois que Madame Bliss compte avoir le manuscrit pour l’exécution. Voulez-vous bien me l’envoyer. Je le lui remettrai. Ou préférez-vous le lui envoyer directement? Pardon de me mêler de ce qui ne me regarde pas—mais…avez-vous pensé à faire imprimer la dédicace ? Autre chose : Je ne sais pas si vous devez venir ici l’an prochain—mais pourrions-nous faire un arrangement en disant que vous réservez, à vous d’abord, et puis à moi à votre défaut, l’exécution du Concerto, pour un an. J’écris à Strecker dans le même sens, mais naturellement, seul ce qui vous convient peut me convenir. Mais, il me semble avoir tant associé ma vie à votre œuvre cette année ici que je donnerais je ne sais quoi pour, si vous ne venez pas, avoir l’insigne privilège de faire connaître le concerto [sic] ici. Pardon si vous trouvez cette demande indiscrète, seul mon attachement profond à ce que vous êtes pour nous tous, et non une stupide ambition, me guide, sentez-le. Il s’agit d’une sorte de fierté de savoir ce que ce concerto représente. Hier soir encore, à Wellesley, de telles heures avec le Sacre. Aujourd’hui avec le Duo Concertant —avant-hier avec le Concerto deux pianos— Samedi l’Ave Maria —la semaine prochaine, Mavra—et ainsi de suite. Vous remercier ? Ma pensée va plus loin, car l’œuvre d’art, a [sic] un certain degré, est une image de Dieu.
