September 8, 1965 (for the 29th) Dear Vera, It’s soon your Saint’s Day. Certainly, there is something naïve about sending wishes. But, do we not remain naïve in the deepest of sentiments? From the bottom of my heart, I send you warmest wishes—hoping that few responsibilities, [moments of] glory, fatigue, travels, and obligations will deplete your marvelous energy. Certainly, you have a unique opportunity, but how heavy [it is], and the melancholy of seeing the years accumulate, and their weight imposed on him and on you. Yet his genius renews itself by an almost unbelievable miracle. His Requiem for T. S. Eliot is a masterpiece. It is as monumental as it is condensed. And everything remains clarified by him who has carried the torch all these years. Always the same, always new. May God keep you in His Peace I send you both my love and am your Nadia B [P.S.] Best wishes for Bob � * * * Boulanger à Vera 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 Monsieur Igor Stravinsky 1260 N Wetherly Drive Hollywood 46 Californie USA 8 septembre 1965 (Pour le 29) Chère Vera, Bientôt votre fête. Certes, il y a quelque chose de naïf à envoyer des vœux. Mais ne reste- t-on pas naïf dans ses sentiments les plus profondes[sic] ? Et de tout cœur, je viens vous embrasser—espérant que peu de responsabilités, de gloire, de fatigues, des voyages, d’obligations, n’usent pas votre merveilleuse énergie. Certes, vous avez une chance unique, mais combien lourde, et la mélancolie de voi[r] les années s’accumuler, et leur poids poser sur lui, sur vous. Son génie se renouvelle pourtant, par un miracle presque incroyable. Son Requiem pour TS Eliot est un chef d’œuvre. Monumental autant que condensé. Et tout reste éclairé par celui qui porte la lumière depuis tant d’années. Toujours elle-même, toujours nouvelle.

Strawinsky 1260 N. Wetherly Drive Hollywood 46 California January 27, 1946 At last, the first letter, and it is only a small note! Dear Igor, Dear Vera, not a day goes by without speaking of you, but, at first it was so cold that I refused to write . . . and then [refused to do] anything. I don’t know how to explain. Life is full of checking, looking, recognizing! Nevertheless, do I need to add that there isn’t a day without speaking of you, without listening to you, without waiting for you (in a manner of speaking). Went to see Jean after disembarking, so as to instantly tell you my first impressions, and I truly believed I was going to write to you that evening, on January 20!! How shameful. He is so beautiful, so strong and so imperious—no need to ask if he knows what he wants. But he is also so soft and gentle, happy—not a baby like any other, he is already himself, 100% Strawinsky. Sviétik and Françoise are beaming. Happy and so well adjusted! Sviétik works a lot, writing very clean, very clear, good music. Excellent spirits, finally, all is well. Their apartment is very nicely set up and would please you—the taste, the order, and the space. By all respects, things seem to be sorting themselves out! Sviétik has sound friends, and Françoise is perfect. I’d like to give you an idea of the situation here. I do not feel able to judge anything concerning politics. Everything is too fluid and complex. But the young people we talk to clearly fall into distinctive groups—spouting grand, vague, destructive theories. There is, as far as I can tell, a small number—[as opposed to the] majority, quite a clear majority—a sensible minority that sees things with a sense of order, loves what should be loved, fights for what is worth saving. Certain places haven’t changed. The same habits, the same gossip, the same jokes. Only the outfits have changed a bit, and yet everything is still so difficult. I saw Souvtchinsky, and he looked well. Met Cingria, how cultured, what finesse, and his manner of speaking, just striking. Missed Mavra the other evening . . . I didn’t know . . . ! I console myself in saying the performances were poor. But I cannot be consoled. You are well, as you ought to be, Dear Igor, the only one to whom the real youths attach themselves. But enough for today, you will be discouraged by these scribbles. Désormière will perform the symphony, what joy! �With all my heart, I love you both madly, NB � Boulanger aux Stravinskys 36 rue Ballu, 9ème , Paris Téléph : Trinité 90-17 Monsieur et Madame I. Strawinsky 1260 N. Wetherly Drive Hollywood 46 California 27 janvier 1946 Enfin, la première lettre, et ce n’est qu’un billet ! Cher Igor, Chère Vera, pas un jour passé sans vous parler, mais, d’abord il faisait si froid qu’écrire. Était…refus. Puis, tout. Je ne sais comment expliquer. La vie prise par revoir, regarder, reconnaître ! Dois-je ajouter que pourtant pas un jour sans vous parler, sans vous écouter, sans vous attendre en quelque sorte. Été au débarqué vois [sic] Jean, pour vous dire aussitôt mes impressions, et je croyais vraiment que j’allais vous écrire ce soir-là, vers le 20 janvier !! Quelle honte. Il est si beau, si fort, si impératif—pas besoin de se demander s’il saura ce qu’il veut. Mais aussi si doux et gentil, gai—et pas un bébé comme un autre, déjà lui, 100% un Strawinsky. Sviétik et Françoise béats d’admiration [sic]. Heureux et si bien accordés ! Sviétik travaillant beaucoup, écrivant de la musique très propre, très claire, bien. Etat d’esprit excellent, enfin, tout bien. Leur ap. jouissant arrangé, vous plairait—du gout, de l’ordre, et de l’espace. À tous égards, les choses semblent s’arranger ! Sviétik a des amis surscc [sic], et Françoise est parfaite. Voudrais vous donner une idée de la situation ici. Ne me sens pas en mesure de rien juger en ce qui concerne la politique. Tout est trop fluide et complexe. Mais les jeunes avec lesquels on parle tout nettement classes en—donnant dans de grandes théories vagues, destructives. C’est pour autant que j’en puisse juger, le petit nombre—une majorité, comme est la majorité sans grande douleur—un autre nombre bien dirigé, voyant les choses avec le sens des hiérarchies, aimant ce qu’il faut aimer, luttant pour ce qui vaut d’être sauvé. Certains milieux n’ayant pas bougé. Les mêmes tics, les mêmes potins, les mêmes plaisanteries. Seuls leurs habits ont un peu changé et encore, tout est encore si difficile. Vu Souvtchinsky, en forme. Rencontre Cingria, quelle culture, quelle finesse, et la parole dirée [sic], frappant juste. Manqée Mavra l’autre soir…n’ai pas su… ! Me console en laissant [sic] dire exécutions mauvaise [sic]. Mais ne me console pas. Vous êtes bien, comme il se doit Cher Igor, le seul auquel se rattachent les vrais jeunes. Mais assez pour aujourd’hui vous vous découragerez de ce [sic] gribouilles. Désormière va donner la symphonie quel bonheur ! �Vous embrasse tous deux et vous aime à la folie.
