November 7, 1964 My Friend, A rather important letter today. The Polignac-Singer Committee is preparing a concert for the celebration of Princess Winnie’s Centenary. We’ve come to ask you to write a work for the concert, for a small orchestra of a maximum of fifteen instruments, perhaps with a narrator. It goes without saying that the Committee asks you to state the terms under which you would accept this commission. The concert would take place in October 1965. I can tell you that, in principle, the committee will accept your conditions. The President, Mr. Heim, believes your work alone would justify the entire program. Would you please tell me what you think about this, because our plans depend on you. Must I tell you my hope. (I felt such deep emotion seeing you and Vera again, and I admired Bob who put everything in its place with such intelligence, such order. As for the work, how can one dare to speak of it. It is essential and we are so happy to understand it. Each of your steps is so decisive.) Fondly, NB � * * * Boulanger à Stravinsky Ecoles d’art américaines Fondation reconnue d’utilité publique Bureau New-York : Fontainebleau Schools, 122 East 58 St. N.Y. 22 Conservatoire de musique – Ecole des beaux-arts Palais de Fontainebleau Le Directeur du Conservatoire Monsieur I.
