Strawinsky 1260 North Wetherly Drive Hollywood California Nov. 28, 1942 Dear Friend, I’m ashamed by my long silence—it is not my fault, please believe me. Work is crazy, [I am] extremely stressed about whether a glimmer of hope has appeared. The terrible sacrifices, the endless suffering, demanding superhuman courage to have been submitted to the worst moral torture for two years, [torture that] grips the heart and no longer allows freedom of thought. I know, one must trust in God, and I bow my head without a whisper, but how can I not fearfully think about what awaits those whom we love. How I pity you—because the silence that walls them in leaves us only room to worry. You will tell me “it’s far too easy to worry,” but—we know well that our hearts tremble if they hope and withdraw to pray more fervently. Oh, how I miss Vera and you. Your presence is such a necessity for the heart and mind. But, unfortunately, California is far. Saint-Exupéry has been a great comfort. He is so strong, so good, but he leaves any day now to join Giraud, and now, having found peace for himself, he will finally have the opportunity to act. Excuse me for not having corrected the Sonata still. If you knew my life, you would understand. I will get to it, I promise you, after the 20th. Another thing, very pressing, the Lili Boulanger fund has a prize of $500 to distribute. The young Alexï [sic] Haïeff has written a very good symphony in the right direction. Will you trust me and vote for him? You will be doing him a great service, which he deserves for his talent, his work, his seriousness—and his solitude. He lives only to write, and to earn a living, gives lessons, and he is not one of those who knows how to overdo things. I would not allow myself to ask you this if I did not know for sure you would be in agreement if you saw the symphony. It is—almost morning, and I can no longer find my words. With fondness, I am wholeheartedly, Your Nadia B � Boulanger à Stravinsky 122 Bay State Road Boston, Massachusetts Kenmore 7277 Monsieur I. Strawinsky 1260 North Wetherly Drive Hollywood California 28 nov. 1942 Cher Ami, Ce long silence me fait honte—il n’est pas de ma faute—croyez-le bien—travail fou— tension extrême car si une lueur d’espoir est apparue, les affreux sacrifices, les souffrances sans fin, exigeant un courage surhumain d’être soumis depuis deux ans à la pire des tortures morales, serrent le cœur et ne laissent plus de liberté à la pensée. Je sais, il faut faire confiance à Dieu—et je m’incline sans murmurer—mais comment pourrais-je ne pas songer avec terreur à ce qui attend ceux que nous aimons. Que je vous plains—car ce silence qui les emmure maintenant ne laisse place pour nous qu’à l’inquiétude. Vous me direz : « trop facile vraiment de s’inquiéter, » mais—nous savons bien que notre cœur tremble, s’il espère et se replie pour prier avec plus de ferveur. Que vous me manquez Vera et vous. Votre présence est une telle nécessité du cœur et de l’esprit. Mais, hélas, la Californie est loin. Saint[-]Exupéry a été d’un grand secours—il est si solide—si bien—mais il part d’un jour à l’autre rejoindre Giraud, et maintenant a trouvé, lui, une tranquillité, puisqu’il va lui être donné d’agir enfin. Pardon de n’avoir pas corrigé encore la Sonate, si vous pourriez [sic] vous représenter ma vie, vous comprendriez. Je vais m’en occuper, je vous promets, après le 20. Autre chose—très pressé, le Lili Boulanger Fund a un prix de 500 dollars a [sic] distribuer. La jeune Alexï Haïeff a écrit une symphonie très bien dans la bonne direction. Voulez-vous me faire confiance [et] voter pour lui. Vous lui rendriez un grand service, mérité par son talent, son travail, son sérieux—et sa solitude. Il ne vit que pour écrire, et gagner sa vie, en donnant des leçons—et il n’est pas de ceux qui savent se pousser. Je ne me permettrais pas de vous demander cela si je ne me sentais pas sûre, que vous seriez d’accord si vous voyiez la symphonie.

Strawinsky 1260 N. Wetherly Dr. Hollywood California March 16, 1943 Dear Igor, How dear your thoughts are to me. How I miss you, you and Vera. It is so silly, we have so little time, [it is] fleeting, and we make such poor use of it! I do, at least. Undoubtedly, in facing this dreary, mundane work, one makes a living, but . . . that which we’re given passes quickly, and we miss our only true opportunities by losing contact with those we love. When will you be in NY? Can you not come as far as here? I’ll doubtless see you, at least I will do my best. But I would so like for my students to speak to you, or rather, to listen to you. I’m sending you the Sonata in the same package. Sorry to be so late. You couldn’t imagine the dreadful, absurd life I lead. It’s ridiculous, and inexcusable, but one cannot escape the system. And yet . . . one really must! This week is my week of reflection, a good twenty-five years since my little sister died, [and] on Friday it will be eight years since Mother is no longer [with us]. I ask myself: Which is greater, the inconsolable pain of having lost them, or the enduring joy of having lived in their shadow and their light? You know, don’t you, that I never forget your mother, nor Catherine, nor Mika— and in my memories, they hold a very real place. I see them, and it is my consolation, this certainty of neither being able nor wanting to forget. A thousand questions run through my mind—I would like very much to know what you have done, how you are, etc. etc. All this winter, I have lived with your work, and every day I understand better all that, though knowing it note by note, one never completely understands. What the works, the true works, contain is inexhaustible. But excuse all these excessive and awkward words—one alone would have sufficed—see you soon. You are going to receive a note from Tom Whittemore. He is arriving from Turkey where he was working in [Hagia] Sophia and is a great friend of the Princesse de Polignac. I would be happy if he were able to see you. He truly hopes to, and deserves it, because he is one of those really good people. Kiss Vera, and know that I am always wholeheartedly yours. Nadia B.

C’est si bête—on a un peu de temps, fugitif—et on le dépense si mal ! Moi, du moins—sans doute, on fait face au petit misérable devoir matériel, on gagne sa vie, mais…ce qui nous est donné passe vite, et nous perdons nos seules vraies chances en perdant le contact avec ceux que nous aimons.

Je vous envoie la Sonate par le même courrier pardon d’avoir tant tardé. Vous ne pouvez [pas] vous imaginer la vie effroyable et absurde que je mène. C’est idiot, et sans excuses, mais l’engrenage, on n’échappe pas. Et puis…il faut bien ! Cette semaine est ma semaine de retraite, bien 25 ans que ma Petite est morte, vendredi 8 ans que Maman n’est plus. Je me demande ce qui domine, l’inconsolable douleur de les avoir perdues, ou l’impérissable joie d’avoir vécu dans leur ombre, et de [sic] leur lumière. Vous savez n’est-ce- pas, que je n’oublie jamais, ni votre mère, ni Catherine, ni Mica—et dans mes souvenirs, elles tiennent une place si réelle, je les vois, et c’est notre consolation, cette certitude de ne pouvoir ni ne vouloir oublier. Mille questions se pressent dans mon esprit—je voudrais tant savoir ce que vous avez fait, comment vous allez, etc. etc. Tout cet hiver je l’ai vécu avec votre œuvre—et chaque jour je comprends mieux tout ce que, la connaissant pourtant note par note, on ne comprend jamais complètement. Ce que les œuvres, les vraies contiennent est inépuisable. Mais pardon de tous ces mots superflus, et gauches—un seul aurait suffi—à bientôt. Vous allez recevoir un mot de Tom Whittemore. Il arrive de Turquie où il travaillait à Sainte Sophie, et est un grand ami de la Princesse de Polignac—je serais heureuse qu’il pût [sic] vous voir.

Strawinsky 1260 North Wetherly Drive Hollywood 46 California July 3, 1943 Dear Friend, Received the letter, the pages from Oedipus, the newspaper clipping—thank you. Will arrive August 5 at 11:43 on the “Chief,” truly hoping we will have lunch together. I miss you greatly. In the peace of this convent, in the midst of these women whose conviction makes them smile, close to Sister Edward, I forget a little what makes everything more and more intolerable: false values, false ambitions, false ideas. What can I say: the lack of values, the absence of ideas, and satisfaction with this emptiness, not too foolish, not too sad. Even here, where we are not as isolated as we were in Sinsinawa, the air still carries with it a dust that nothing can stop. But it is enough to go back into the Chapel, to pick up once again one of the books that remain a mainstay, then reread one of your works, to say to one’s self that after everything, this alone shall remain of our miserable time, deserves to endure, and will overcome our errors, our blindness, our weaknesses. I am so happy you are there, and what luck that the Sachses are staying in Santa Barbara! I hope that you will come often. I need you greatly. All my affection for Vera and for you, Much love, Nadia [P.S.] Sister Edward sends you her thoughts. She prays for you every day. � Boulanger à Stravinsky Dominican Sisters Convent Edgewood College 1000 Edgewood Avenue Madison, Wisconsin Monsieur I. Strawinsky 1260 North Wetherly Drive Hollywood 46 California 3 juillet 1943 Cher Ami, Reçu lettre, feuilles d’Oedipus, coupure journal—merci. Arriverai le 5 août à 11:43 sur le « Chief », espère bien que nous déjeunerons ensemble. Vous me manquez tant. Dans la paix de ce couvent, au milieu de ces femmes que leur certitude fait souriantes, près de Sister Edward, j’oublie un peu tout ce qui rend tout de plus en plus intolérable, fausses valeurs, fausses ambitions, fausses idées. Que dis-je : le manque de valeurs, l’absence d’idées, et une satisfaction devant ce néant, pas trop bête, pas trop triste. Même ici, où l’on n’est plus isolé comme on l’était à Sinsinawa, l’air apporte encore de cette poussière que rien n’arrête. Mais il suffit de rentrer dans la Chapelle, de reprendre un des livres qui demeurent les piliers, puis relire une de vos œuvres, pour se dire qu’après tout, ce qui seul demeurera de notre misérable temps, vaut de durer, et domine nos erreurs, nos aveuglements, nos faiblesses. Quel bonheur que vous soyez-là [sic], et quelle chance que les Sachs restent à Santa Barbara ! J’espère que vous viendrez souvent. J’ai tant besoin de vous. Pour Vera et pour vous, toute ma tendresse. Je vous embrasse Nadia [P.-S.] Sister Edward vous envoie bien des pensées. Chaque jour, elle prie pour vous. � 1943 Author: Nadia Boulanger Igor Location: California Nadia Location: Edgewood College Oedipus Rex Recipient: Igor Stravinsky Sister Edward Blackwell Vera Stravinsky https://digex.lib.uoguelph.ca/files/original/3b2f08fe10abb706fd65b0e8aa15bf68.pdf aeec07aef1a6511d398e4c1d21385d17 https://digex.lib.uoguelph.ca/files/original/68b22376a2dd64a9099fe7008b39ac99.pdf c44fdf476271444ef81815babf4e95ce Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Strawinsky 1260 N. Wetherly Drive Hollywood 46 California July 2, 1944 Look what I received, Dear Igor—what do you suggest? Too occupied since my arrival here to write, but between the lecture this winter, the memories of each of your gestures, setting to rights what I said, sorting out the Sonata, and the Circus Polka, the lecture on Babel, on Scherzo [à la] Russe, on Perséphone, and then my heart “that beats only for you” as the song says, and it doesn’t lie. Truly, you are always here and present in Madison! We live, quite tensely, somewhat somberly, with some relaxation, [illegible word] in the calm of this place. My best to Vera and you, my Dear—and already I say with impatience: When am I going to see you again. Your N [P.S.] Abbot Fortier . . . thrilled. But does not want to thank you before he has read—read and understood everything. He’s not used to these combinations and so [he] struggles!! � Boulanger à Stravinsky Edgewood College 1000 Edgewood Avenue Madison, Wisconsin Monsieur I. Strawinsky 1260 N. Wetherly Drive Hollywood 46 California 2 juillet 1944 Voici ce que je reçois, Cher Igor—que conseillez-vous ? Trop occupée depuis mon arrivée ici pour écrire, mais entre la conférence de cet hiver, les souvenirs de chacun de vos gestes, la mise au point que dis je [sic], le débrouillage de la Sonate et de la Circus Polka, la lecture de Babel, du Scherzo Russe, de Perséphone—et puis mon cœur « qui ne bat que pour vous » comme dit la chanson, et elle ne ment pas. Enfin, vous êtes vraiment hote [sic] omniprésent à Madison ! On vit, bien tendu, un peu trop sombre, avec une détente, dû au calme de ce lieu. Je vous embrasse Vera et vous, mon bien Cher—et déjà me dis avec impatience : Quand vais-je enfin les revoir. Votre N [P.-S.] L’Abbé Fortier…ravi. Mais ne veut pas vous remercier avant d’avoir lu—tout lu et entendu—n’est pas habitué à cette combinaison, et se bat !! � 1944 Abbot Fortier Author: Nadia Boulanger Babel Circus Polka Igor Location: California Nadia Location: Edgewood College Perséphone Recipient: Igor Stravinsky Scherzo Sonata for Two Pianos Vera Stravinsky
