I was absorbed by my new position, because I exaggerate, unfortunately, everything that I do—and also, and perhaps especially, because I do not know how to write to you. If I could tell you what this concert meant, I would be proud with a peaceful yet arrogant pride. But while we listened to this music where I know every note by heart, but where each note, each time, becomes new—I knew already that I wouldn’t write you, because my mind and my ears, my heart and my hand were truly incapable of finding the right words. And I thanked you, just as I thank you today, for these works that year after year bring us the joy of which Bergson spoke: “Crazy, it is completely crazy . . . I understand you here.”— “And this lyricism, too many instruments, too many notes, too many rich harmonies.” And so, it’s because I share your opinion that . . . from time to time I succeed. Wednesday—only the Abbot heard vague, far-away notes [quotes nonsensical excerpt, likely from Apollo]. We didn’t even hear that and missed Apollon. On the 4th everything was so clear. And if you could have seen us Saturday, going over once again step by step all the scores with such impatience, and the next day, the surprise of finding them again, of “replacing” each note, we were ecstatic with this order, this evidence, this freshness. Then . . . on Sunday. We ought to know, and me more than anyone. But no—everything is again unexpected, again exhilarating — and the thought that everything is inevitable—but always “discovered,” as if never heard before. When you are here again, with the scores in hand, I would so love to walk the path again with you—these admirable Scènes de ballet—so necessary. And . . . so simple—all that one ever has to do is just to look—there is but one man in millions who finds it—and not many in a hundred who understand what they have found. What solitude. Without a doubt, provided by God to protect you from other horrors and from yourself. In this austere solitude, no comfort, no intrusion, no distractions—what [a] severe treatment. Back to Paris � Boulanger à Stravinsky fevr. 1945 [jamais envoyée] Cher Igor, Je ne vous ai pas écrit, parce que…j’étais absorbée dans ma nouvelle fonction, parce que j’exagère, hélas, tout ce que je fais—et aussi, et peut-être surtout, parce que je ne sais que vous écrire. Si je pouvais vous dire ce que ce concert nous a apporté, je serais fière, d’une fierté reposante et insolente. Mais, tandis que nous écoutions cette musique dont je connais chaque note par cœur, mais dont chaque note redevient chaque fois nouvelle—je savais déjà que je ne vous écrirais pas, parce que mon esprit et mon oreille, et mon cœur, et ma main, sont bien incapables de trouver les mots justes. Et je vous remerciant [rémerciais (?)], comme je vous remercie aujourd’hui, pour ces œuvres qui année après année, nous apportent la joie dont parle Bergson; « Folle, elle est complètement folle…je vous entends d’ici »—«et ce lyrisme, trop d’orchestre, trop de notes, trop d’harmonies riches ». Et c’est parce que je partage votre opinion, que…..de jour en jour j’ai réussi. Mercredi—seul l’abbé a entendu de vagues, lointaines notes [citations de l’Apollon] Nous, pas même cela et manquer Apollon. Le 4, tout était si clair. Et si vous aviez pu nous voir, le samedi, reprenant pas à pas toutes les partitions avec l’impatience du lendemain, la surprise d’en retrouver, d’en « replacer » chaque note, nous extasiant de tout cet ordre, de cette évidence, de cette fraîcheur. Puis….le dimanche. Nous devrions, et moi plus qu’eux savoir. Non—tout est de nouveau inattendu, inouï encore—et de la pensée, où tout est inévitable—mais toujours « découvert » comme si on ne l’avait jamais entendu. Quand vous serez là, avec les partitions en mains, je voudrais refaire le chemin avec vous—ces scènes de Ballet, admirables—d’un telle nécessité. Et…si simple—il ne s’agit jamais que de trouver—seulement, il n’y a qu’un homme entre des millions, qui trouve—et pas beaucoup dans chaque centaine, qui entendent ce qu’il a trouvé. Quelle solitude. Sans doute, ménagée par Dieu pour vous protéger des autres horreurs, et de vous-même. Dans cette austère solitude, aucune facilité, aucune intrusion, aucun dispersement—traitement sévère. � 1945 Apollon Musagète Author: Nadia Boulanger Henri Bergson Recipient: Igor Stravinsky Scénes de ballet https://digex.lib.uoguelph.ca/files/original/252d52de31cfc7b4c0ec02842c15b5d4.pdf f54fdc453b2c0a4bfec4df69ae2972b2 https://digex.lib.uoguelph.ca/files/original/d545b6a6b36439657c04467224c72a44.pdf 60fc32280d39fe1808aaa83ae95a407d Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Tel. Kenmore 7277 Mr Igor Strawinsky 1260 Wetherly Drive Hollywood 46 California September 20, 1945 Dear Friend, What a magnificent surprise, what happiness, and what satisfaction. You are an angel! I cannot tell you about this exceedingly beautiful piece. I feel unworthy. This is the sixth letter I’ve started. My praise seems to me so small, so awkward—courage will soon return to me, I hope, but not today. I read, I reread. What success on the whole and in each detail, and . . . and again I don’t know [what to say]. I am not going too fast! But I know what this symphony represents. I love it and you. It is just too sad to not see you anymore, to not be near you at the piano, to not have you hear me play it for you. This separation is awful. It weighs on me heavily. Leaving for Montreal. Will write you upon my return. Jealous of all who have seen Vera’s boutique, they tell me it is so stunning—not being able to go to Hollywood is a death sentence. Received an interesting, kind letter from Sviétik. He seems happy, everyone writes to me about him with much musical confidence. Everyone finds Françoise so kind. Saturday is his birthday. I hope that my package will be there for that day. I really want to speak with you about the finale. I cannot think of more to tell you about other things and yet, I do not see how I might demonstrate to you that I understood! But I have understood, I believe, and heard—and I feel very proud of myself! You are too great for me to forget it, especially when I am not close to you and my old incorrigible shyness is as strong as ever. Thank you. You have given me the nicest double-present you could imagine and the two aspects of the score follow the same line of thinking[:] an order established by one is definitively expressed by the other. I love you so much, admire you, and miss you. To you, to Vera, very fondly, NB � Boulanger à Stravinsky 122 Bay State Road Boston, Mass. Tel.

Je ne peux pas vous parler de ce morceau si beau. Je m’en sens indigne. Voilà la 6è lettre que je commence. Mes effusions me semblent si pauvrettes, si gauches—le courage me viendra bien, je l’espère, mais pas aujourd’hui. Je lis, relis. Quelle réussite de l’ensemble, de chaque détail, et…Je ne connais encore rien. Je ne vais pas si vite! Mais je sais ce qu’est la Symphonie. Je l’aime et vous aime. Seulement c’est trop triste de ne plus vous voir, ne d’etre [sic] pas près de vous, au piano, de ne pas vous l’entendre me la jouer, pour moi. C’est bête, cette séparation. Elle me pèse bien lourdement. Pars pour Montréal. Vous écrirai dès mon retour. Suis jalouse de tous ceux qui ont vu la boutique de Vera, si étonnante me dit-on—ce n’est plus vivre que de ne plus prendre la route de Hollywood. Reçu une lettre de Sviétik, intéressante, gentille. Il semble heureux, tout le monde m’écrit à son sujet avec tant de confiance musicale. Chacun trouve Françoise si gentille. Samedi, son anniversaire. J’espère qu’il aura mon paquet pour ce jour-là. Ai tant envie de vous parler du Final. Que je ne trouve plus rien à vous dire d’autre et pourtant, je ne vois pas vous démontrant que j’ai compris! Mais j’ai compris, je crois, et entendu –et je me sens toute fière ! Vous êtes trop grand pour que je puisse l’oublier surtout quand je ne suis pas près de vous, et ma vieille incorrigible timidité bat son plein. Merci. Vous m’avez fait le plus beau double cadeau qui se puisse rêver, et les deux aspects de la partition font suivre le cheminement de la pensée l’ordre ramassée de l’un, définitivement exposé de l’autre. Que je vous aime, vous admire, et que vous me manquez.
