My Dearest Ones,
Will be at the Bauer on the 8th. It’s terrible to wait, my impatience to see you again is so great, to
hear the Canticum and Choral. I had better keep quiet, because I’m incapable of expressing what
these works call for.
My love and deepest affection to you both,
NB
[P.S.] Impossible to obtain a room before the 8th, will therefore be at the Jolly Ravenna Hotel
from the 5th to the 8th; am also looking forward to seeing the mosaics. Annette Dieudonné,
Winifred Johnstone, and one of my Indian students will all be there on the 8th.
[P.P.S.] What an incredible story concerning seats—Oh well, we’ll fight them if we have to!

Mes très Chers,
Serai au Bauer le 8—terrible d’attendre, si grande est mon impatience vous revoir, entendre
Canticum et Choral. Mieux vaut que je me taise puisque je suis incapable de dire ce que de telles
œuvres appellent.
Je vous embrasse avec toute ma profonde affection,
NB
[P.-S.] Impossible d’obtenir une chambre avant le 8, suis donc du 5 ou 8 Hotel Joly Ravenne, au
surplus[,] heureuse de voir les mosaïques. Annette Dieudonné, Winifred Johnstone, un de mes
élèves indiens serons tous là le 8.
[P.P.-S.] Quelle histoire incroyable au sujet des places—enfin, on se battra si nécessaire !

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,

Dear Friend,
What a letter . . . and what good news!!
And it’s given me a bunch of ideas.
I’m going to do the impossible to be in Rome on the 6th, but, again . . . don’t protest before
having finished the paragraph:
The Olympic Games have opened a competition for the composition of a hymn intended for the
1955 Games. Three minutes of music, a prize of $1000. The jury will meet in Monaco on April
18 (until April 21), invited by the Prince to the Palace, travel included, for example Rome–
Monaco–Baden-Baden. We could begin the 17th (or the 17th to the 20th) (or even 18th to the
19th) (or 16th,17th,18th). It is impossible to tell you how happy I’d be if you agreed to be a part
of this jury. I beg of you to try to to remain open-minded. If the date must be pushed forward a
bit, it will be done.
I will be watching for the mail with utmost impatience!! Tuesday I will conduct a concert that
the radio kindly offered to celebrate my fifty years as a professor. I wouldn’t dare play music in
front of you, but . . . I would love for you to be there, you, who plays such a role in my life.
What success for Vera. I am so happy for her. Truly count on my being there on the 6th. What
hotel are you staying at?
With fond, wholehearted wishes,
Nadia B.

Cher Ami,
Quelle lettre…de si bonnes nouvelles !
Et qui me donne des tas d’idées.
Vais faire l’impossible pour être à Rome le 6.
Mais encore…ne protestez pas avant d’avoir fini le paragraphe :
Les Jeux Olympiques ont ouvert un concours pour la composition d’un hymne destiné au jeux
1955. 3 minutes de musique, prix de 1000 dollars—le jury se réussit à Monaco le 18 avril au 21
avril, invité par le Prince au Palais, voyage compris, par exemple de Rome [-] Monaco [-] Baden
Baden [sic]. On pourrait commencer le 17, (ou du 17 au 20), (ou même 18-19), (ou 16, 17,18).
Vous dire ma joie si vous acceptiez de faire partie de ce jury est impossible. Je vous en supplie
tachez de laisser vous attendriez [attendrir]. S’il faut avancer un peu la date, ce sera fait.
Avec quelle impatience, je fais gue[tt]er le courrier !! Mardi je dirige un concert offert très
gentiment par la radio pour fêter mes 50 ans de professorat. Je n’oserais pas faire de la musique
devant vous, mais…j’aurais pourtant aimé que vous fassiez là, vous qui jouez un tel role [sic]
dans ma vie.
Quel succès pour Vera—j’en suis si heureuse. Compte vraiment être là le 6—à quel hotel [sic]
descendez[-]vous ?
Je vous embrasse de tout cœur,

One year ago in Venice, The Rake, you, all of us. How far away it is, and [yet] so close. I have
not written to you, my Friend, because I hardly dare to take your time. What could I tell you that
you don’t already know and that would be worth keeping your attention.
All the same, it is so good to think of those wonderful days, it is so marvelous to love you this
much, and one day of gushing is allowed, after all.
Sometimes it seems that I never left you, because even in silence, or better yet in solitude, your
music is a part of my life, as is my memory of you. Perhaps it’s too sentimental, but so true.
You do not know how important your visit to Paris has been. Certainly, you had spoken before
appearing, and those who could understand must have understood. The fact is that you took them
by the hand, and pulled many out of a rut.
But, no more long epistles. I wait for you. When will you come back, where? I beg of you, when
you manage to think of me, would you send me a copy of your Cantata?
Dear Igor, excuse me, we are completely boring you, but that’s the way it is, it is your fault. Will
you be in Europe during the summer, in France? Insidious question, full of treachery and hope.
Tell Vera that we all found her as beautiful as ever, tell Bob that I would like to get to know him
better, so intelligent, lively, and calm, and that I love you all so deeply and tenderly,
Your

Il y a un an, Venise, The Rake, vous, nous tous. Que c’est loin—et si proche. Je ne vous écris
pas, mon Ami, parce que j‘ose à peine prendre de votre temps. Que vous dirais-je que vous ne
sachiez, et qui ne vaut pas, hélas, de vous retenir.
Tout de même c’est si bon de penser à ces beaux jours, c’est si merveilleux de vous aimer tant,
qu’un jour d’effusion est tout de même permis.
Il me semble parfois que je ne vous quitte jamais, car dans le silence même, et la solitude mieux
encore, votre musique est partie de ma vie et votre souvenir aussi. Trop sentimental, il se peut,
mais si vrai.
Vous ne savez pas de quelle importance a été votre venue à Paris. Certes, vous aviez parlé avant
de paraître—et ceux qui pouvaient comprendre devaient avoir compris. Le fait est que vous les
avez pris par la main, et plusieurs sont sortis de l’ornière.
Mais, fois des longues épîtres—je vous attends—quand revenez-vous—où. Quand, je vous
conjure de [sic] penser à moi, m’envoyez-vous un photostat de la Cantate ?
Cher Igor, pardon, nous vous ennuyons tous—mais rien à faire, c’est de votre faute. Servez-vous
en Europe durant l’été, en France ? Question insidieuse, pleine de perfidie et d’espoir.
Dîtes à Vera que nous l’avons tous trouvée aussi belle que toujours, à Bob que je voudrais le
connaître mieux, si intelligent, vif, et tranquille—que vous êtes tous ce que j’aime si fortement et
si tendrement,

Dear Igor,
Upon receiving your letter, I telephoned rue d’Anjou to obtain the translation. Some passages are
good, but others are impossible. All of your rhythms are changed. Where the syncopation is
everything, equal values render it unacceptably monotonous. Some expressions also, such as:
“The deuce,” whose resonance is so striking and whose meaning is supposed to convey at once
so many things through the force and complexity of words as [Kraus] performed it, for which the
tone—which is too clear—and the silences (le vide) are terrible at this incredibly important point.
What do you want to do?
1) Write to the translator yourself to indicate to him the parts you don’t like.
2) Find someone here (I know someone) to try to set to rights what must be changed.
I’ll await your instructions. This work must be done quickly, even if the Opéra’s date remains
uncertain, because learning a text that is then changed would be just maddening for the artists.
Concerning the performers: Bourdin will be perfect. Michaud is slightly lacking in her lower
[register], maybe in lyricism, but she will not accept, I believe, if she doesn’t feel she can do a
good job.
You ought to, at all costs, get Cuénod for Sellem and Simoneau for Tom. For the latter, they are
thinking of Lucca [sic] who is not as good as Simoneau.
I leave Thursday for Monaco. Lecture on The Rake. I am terrified because . . . I am incapable of
properly saying what these people nonetheless must know. They are led constantly down the
wrong path!
If you need to reach me between the 8th and the 18th: Monaco Palace, Principality of Monaco
Hugs and kisses to both of you. I am your,
Nadia B
[P.S.] Received first and second acts from Milan. A telegram announcing a letter to come. This

Cher Igor,
Au reçu de votre lettre ai téléphoné rue d’Anjou pour obtenir la traduction. Certains passages
sont bien [sic], mais d’autres sont impossibles. Tous vos rythmes changés. Où la syncope est
tout, des valeurs égales donnent une monotonie inacceptable. Quelques expressions aussi
comme : The deuce, dont la résonnance est si frappante et le sens, voulant à la fois dire tant de
choses, par la force et la complexité du mot, rendu par Hésa [Kraus], dont la sonorité trop claire
et le vide sont terribles à cet endroit si important.
Que voulez-vous ? 1) Écrire vous-même au traducteur, lui signaler les points que vous
n’acceptez pas.
2) Trouver ici (je connais quelqu’un) pour tenter de remettre au point ce qu’il faut changer.
J’attendrai vos instructions—il est nécessaire de faire ce travail d’urgence, même si la date de
l’Opéra reste incertaine, car pour les artistes, apprendre un texte qui serait changé ensuite serait
bien fâcheux.
En ce qui concerne les interprètes : Bourdain sera parfait—Micheau manquera de grave peut-être
de lyrisme, mais n’acceptera pas, je crois, si elle ne se sent pas en mesure de bien faire.
Il faudrait à tous prix obtenir Cuénod pour Sallem, et Simoneau pour Tom. Pour ce dernier il est
question de Lucca, moins bien que Simoneau.
Je pars jeudi pour Monaco—conférence sur le Rake—je suis épouvante car…je suis incapable de
bien dire ce que pourtant les gens doivent savoir. On les mène sans cesse dans les mauvais
chemins !
Si vous avez à m’atteindre du 8 ou 18, le Palais Monaco, Principauté de Monaco.
Je vous embrasse tous deux et suis votre,
Nadia B.

My Friend,
This morning there was an admirable performance of Le Sacre under the precise, alive, and true
direction of . . . Igor Stravinsky. And to think they argue: “[Is he a] conductor, yes or no?” And
while witnessing the [only] one who could give such a performance, with real connections, his
rhythms so perfectly set out and conducted. Sober, modest, and effective commentaries from H.
Barraud.
No literature sheds light on audible acts— honestly, intelligently. And he has rightly noted that
there was not one Stravinsky of yesterday and another of today, but one Stravinsky, for always,
who is always new. I suppose he will give [a performance of] recent works here, the Requiem
Canticles is a revelation for young people, not to mention those who are capable of hearing and
understanding.
I could go on and on, you give so much with work after work. Always new and always the same.
I do not cease dreaming of seeing you, alas, [and] I hope you know that I always am near to you
and to Vera.
Nadia
[P.S.] May God keep you and give you patience in the face of suffering.
[P.P.S.] And many kind thoughts for Bob.

Mon Ami,
Ce matin admirable execution du Sacre sous la direction précise, vivante, fidèle. Sous la
direction de…Igor Stravinsky. Et dire qu’ils discutent : chef d’orchestre, oui, non. Et en
attendant qui donnerait une telle exécution, avec ses vrais rapports ses rythmes si
parfaitement exposés et conduits. Commentaires sobres modeste et efficaces d’H.
Barra[u]d.
Aucune littérature, des faits sonores mis en lumière, honnêtement, intelligemment. Et il a
bien marqué qu’il n’y avait pas un Stravinsky d’hier, un aujourd’hui, mais un Stravinsky
de toujours et toujours nouveau. Je suppose qu’il va donner les œuvres de ces années-ci,
Le[s] Requiem Canticles sont une révélation pour les jeunes—sans compter ceux qui sont
capables d’entendre, de comprendre.
Et je pourrais continuer et continuer, vous donnez tant d’œuvre en œuvre. Toujours
nouveau et toujours un. Je ne cesse de rêver vous voir, hélas, que ne le puis-je sentez que
je suis toujours près de vous et de Vera
Nadia
[P.-S.] Que Dieu vous garde et vous donne de la patience devant la souffrance.
[P.P.-S.] Et tant de souvenirs et vœux pour Bob.
