We are leaving New York on Monday April 28 at 5:00 p.m. with TWA Flight 922. We have a short stop at the Paris-Orly airfield on Tuesday, April 29 around 1:25 p.m. and continue on the same airplane to Geneva, to attend performances of The Rake in French on May 2 and 4. We will then return to Paris on May 8. As for the small reception after Oedipus Rex, I cannot answer from here. We will need to talk about this again in Paris and see how everything looks then. Regarding The Rake, I do not know if, in the end, we will put it on in Paris in May. After what happened to poor Désormière, it seems doubtful. But you must have known about this sooner than I.

Indeed, we’ve been without news from you for a long time, but, as you say nothing to me about yourself, being full of discretion, I will not ask you questions and will try to convince myself that everything is following its normal course. It depends on one question: am I right? Please respond. We are going to Europe once again this spring, at the end of March this time, because Vera will have (at the start of April) her first art show (Galleria Obelisco in Rome). Exciting news, isn’t it? To make this journey work I have arranged a few concerts. So, we fly from NY to Lisbon to conduct my first concert in Madrid (March 25), from there to Rome (April 6), then Baden-Baden (April 22), then Lugano (April 28) and Stuttgart (May 3) from where we go to Copenhagen to take this new SAS Danish airplane from there that as of today flies to Los Angeles (22 hours through the Arctic). Will we see one another somewhere in Europe? Please respond. Happy to have your kind remarks about my In Memoriam. I have already recorded it (Columbia), yes, just a few days before its premiere in concert (conducted by Bob Craft) in Dylan Thomas’s memory, this piece was played beside unforgettable works by Purcell, Gabrieli, Schütz, and Bach. Aldous Huxley also very graciously took part in this, paying homage to the great poet. I will conduct In Memoriam in Rome (probably Cuénod) with my Cantata (probably Laszlo and Cuénod); the second half of the program will be Oedipus Rex (probably Laszlo and Peter Pears). It would be too good so see you at this concert! Love, I Str. � Stravinsky à Boulanger Hollywood 14 novembre 1954 Carissima Nadia, Votre sympathique lettre m’a fait grand plaisir ; en effet, il y a longtemps qu’on est sans nouvelles de vous mais, comme vous ne me parlez rien de vous-même, plein de discretion je ne vous pose pas de questions et tache de me convaincre que tout suit son cours normal. Une question dependant : ai-je raison ? R.S.V.P. Nous allons de nouveau en Europe ce printemps, fin mars cette fois-ci, car Vera aura (debut avril) sa premiere exposition de tableaux (galleria Obelisco a Rome). Exciting news, n’est-ce pas ?

We just arrived (with Milène and André) from Lisbon; what a flight! As fast as it was calm. I won’t forget the Webern arrangement of the Bach Ricercare: as soon as I find it, I will have it copied for you. I understand nothing of what you wrote to me about the Scherzo à la Russe and Lugano, where I conducted a program of chamber music. You must have heard the broadcast from Rome where I actually played it in my symphonic concert on April 15, and without cuts of course. The idiotic cut of the First Trio (the canon with the piano and harp) was made, I suppose, by the broadcasting station for reasons that I can only guess at; either they were short on time (the cut of this canon would gain them 1 minute), or they didn’t care for the music of the canon, or, perhaps, the two reasons together. In any case, I had nothing to do with it. It was good to see you in London. How did your performance of the Septet go? Love, kisses, I Str. � Stravinsky à Boulanger 1260 North Wetherly Drive Hollywood California 15 juin 1954 Nadia cherie, merci [sic] de votre si gentille lettre (10 juin). Nous venons d’arriver (avec Milene et Andre) de Lisboa; quel vol! aussi rapide que calme. N’oublierai pas l’instrumentation de Webern du Bach Richercare : des que je la retrouverai je vous la ferai photostater. N’ai rien compris de ce que vous m’ecrivez au sujet du Scherzo a la russe et de Lugano ou je dirigeais un programme de musique de chambre. Vous avez du l’entendre transmit de Rome ou je l’avais joue, en effet, dans mon concert symphonique du 15 avril et sans coupures bien entendu. Cette coupure idiote du 1er Trio (le canon du Piano et Harpe) était faite, je suppose, par la station emettrise pour des raisons que je devine: ou [sic] etaient- ils a court de temps (la coupure de ce canon leur faisait gagner 1 minute), ou la musique de ce canon leur deplaisait, ou, encore, les deux raisons ensemble. Moi, en tout cas, je n’y suis pour rien. C’etait bon de vous avoir eu a Londres. Comment c’est passee votre execution du SEPTET ? Love, kisses I.

I am writing you these lines so you can find them upon arriving home from Poland. Alas! The news is not good, and how can I hide this worry from you? The stroke my father suffered right after his Berlin concert is a truly serious shock. But what is and will be from now on a point of constant anxiety for us, is that he, at all costs, will henceforth have to take extra precautions in looking after himself, to the utmost, and you know how difficult that is for him. Thursday, I am going to join him in Munich where he is being taken care of in a clinic. I did not go there earlier, so as to avoid alarming him with an impromptu visit. Of course continuing the tour is out of the question (this is completely between us). I will write you a note from Munich. I know, dear Nadia, that we are united in our thoughts, and how deeply you share our despair. Your friendship is a comfort.

L’accident vasculaire-circulatoire que mon père a eu aussitôt après son concert de Berlin est un assourdissement du plus sérieux. Mais ce qui est et sera désormais un motif de constante angoisse pour nous, c’est qu’il faut dorénavant à tout prix qu’il se ménager beaucoup, au maximum, et vous savez vous-même combien cela est difficile pour lui. Jeudi, j’irai le rejoindre à Munich où il est soigné en clinique. Je n’y suis pas allé plus tôt pour ne pas l’alarmer par une arrivée inspirée. Naturellement il ne peut plus être question de continuer la tournée (ceci tout à fait entre nous). Je vous écrirai un mot de Munich.

I spent three very tiring weeks in the last city, performing The Rake with students from Boston University. It was an immense success, even in the malicious Boston press. The two performances each had different artists, which made them all the more difficult and trying. The first group was very good, the second much less so. I was quite ill afterward with a bad case of colitis and was forced to withdraw from a concert, though not a particularly interesting one, in Chicago, and return here where I resumed my customary activities. You and others mentioned to me the performance of the Cantata in Paris, but without telling me where or by whom . . .

It’s terrible to wait, my impatience to see you again is so great, to hear the Canticum and Choral. I had better keep quiet, because I’m incapable of expressing what these works call for. My love and deepest affection to you both, NB [P.S.] Impossible to obtain a room before the 8th, will therefore be at the Jolly Ravenna Hotel from the 5th to the 8th; am also looking forward to seeing the mosaics.

St Jean de Luz Maitagarria St Jean de Luz B.P. Mr. Igor Stravinsky 1260 N Wetherly Drive Hollywood, California U.S.A. September 20, 1952 One year ago in Venice, The Rake, you, all of us. How far away it is, and [yet] so close. I have not written to you, my Friend, because I hardly dare to take your time. What could I tell you that you don’t already know and that would be worth keeping your attention. All the same, it is so good to think of those wonderful days, it is so marvelous to love you this much, and one day of gushing is allowed, after all. Sometimes it seems that I never left you, because even in silence, or better yet in solitude, your music is a part of my life, as is my memory of you. Perhaps it’s too sentimental, but so true. You do not know how important your visit to Paris has been. Certainly, you had spoken before appearing, and those who could understand must have understood. The fact is that you took them by the hand, and pulled many out of a rut. But, no more long epistles. I wait for you. When will you come back, where? I beg of you, when you manage to think of me, would you send me a copy of your Cantata? Dear Igor, excuse me, we are completely boring you, but that’s the way it is, it is your fault. Will you be in Europe during the summer, in France? Insidious question, full of treachery and hope. Tell Vera that we all found her as beautiful as ever, tell Bob that I would like to get to know him better, so intelligent, lively, and calm, and that I love you all so deeply and tenderly, Your Nadia B. � Boulanger à Stravinsky Ecoles d’art américaines Fondation reconnue d’utilité publique Palais de Fontainebleau (S.&.M.) (St Jean de Luz Maitagarria St Jean de Luz B .P.) Monsieur Igor Stravinsky 1260 N Wetherly Drive Hollywood, Californie USA 20 septembre 1952 Il y a un an, Venise, The Rake, vous, nous tous. Que c’est loin—et si proche. Je ne vous écris pas, mon Ami, parce que j‘ose à peine prendre de votre temps. Que vous dirais-je que vous ne sachiez, et qui ne vaut pas, hélas, de vous retenir. Tout de même c’est si bon de penser à ces beaux jours, c’est si merveilleux de vous aimer tant, qu’un jour d’effusion est tout de même permis. Il me semble parfois que je ne vous quitte jamais, car dans le silence même, et la solitude mieux encore, votre musique est partie de ma vie et votre souvenir aussi. Trop sentimental, il se peut, mais si vrai. Vous ne savez pas de quelle importance a été votre venue à Paris. Certes, vous aviez parlé avant de paraître—et ceux qui pouvaient comprendre devaient avoir compris. Le fait est que vous les avez pris par la main, et plusieurs sont sortis de l’ornière. Mais, fois des longues épîtres—je vous attends—quand revenez-vous—où. Quand, je vous conjure de [sic] penser à moi, m’envoyez-vous un photostat de la Cantate ? Cher Igor, pardon, nous vous ennuyons tous—mais rien à faire, c’est de votre faute. Servez-vous en Europe durant l’été, en France ? Question insidieuse, pleine de perfidie et d’espoir. Dîtes à Vera que nous l’avons tous trouvée aussi belle que toujours, à Bob que je voudrais le connaître mieux, si intelligent, vif, et tranquille—que vous êtes tous ce que j’aime si fortement et si tendrement, Votre Nadia B � 1952 Author: Nadia Boulanger Cantata Cantate Igor Location: California Nadia Location: Fontainebleau Recipient: Igor Stravinsky Robert Craft The Rake's Progress
