Roth Director Boosey & Hawkes Ltd. 295 Regent Street London W. I. (England) February 8, 1952 Dear Dr. Roth, I have just received a letter from Nadia Boulanger whom I had asked to give me her opinion about the French translation of the Rake’s. Her answer is not too cheerful. I understand that the French translation by this Mr. de Badet (by the way I have never understood who commissioned him: you or the Grand Opéra?) in many instances is completely off and, still worse, has led to some musical changes which completely erase the original rhythmical sense. I know that some alterations are unavoidable but the result must not be complete nonsense, as the case seems to be. Please contact Miss Boulanger and ask her to handle the problem of straightening out the mistakes herself. I cannot do it from here; time is running short and moreover Miss Boulanger is at hand and perfectly aware of the situation. Till Monday, February 18th, she will be lecturing on the Rake’s at the Monaco Palace, Principality of Monaco. Thereafter she will go back to her regular address, 36 rue Ballu, Paris 9ème.
