* Stravinsky’s annotations
36 rue Ballu
Paris IX
Such sadness to think that you are here, so close, that you represent so much for me, and that my
obligations—that seem to me of such little importance when compared to the joy of seeing and
hearing you—keep me here. It’s an issue of money as well! How can I express—my real grief!
It seems that the Rake’s in Zurich was received with extraordinary enthusiasm. It was a
performance without celebrities, leaving only the work itself the task of producing its effect and
achieving it completely. Pierre of Monaco went to Zurich to hear it and told me of the public’s
immediate, constant, striking reaction. We have dived into the score, all the young people are
deeply affected by everything it brings them.
I send you both hugs and kisses, love you both madly, and am astonished at my not flying to
meet you. Something must truly be preventing me!

Quelle tristesse de penser que vous êtes là, si près, que vous représentez tant pour moi—et que
mes obligations, qu[i] me paraissaient si peu importantes à côté de la joie de vous voir, de vous
entendre, me retiennent ici. La question matérielle aussi ! Que vous dire—mon vrai chagrin !
Il parait que le Rake’s à Zurich a été accueilli avec un enthousiasme extraordinaire.
Représentation sans vedettes, laissant à l’œuvre seule le soin de produire son effet—et
l’obtenant, d’une manière totale. Pierre de Monaco est allé à Zurich pour l’entendre, et m’a
raconté la réaction du public, immédiate, constante, frappante. Nous sommes plongés dans la
partition, tous les jeunes sont marqués par tout ce qu’elle leur apporte.
Je vous embrasse, vous aime à la folie tous deux—et m’étonne de ne pas voler vous rejoindre.
Faut-il que je sois vraiment empêchée !
Votre
Nadia B.
