Wetherly Drive Hollywood, California U.S.A. November 7, 1954 Dear, dear friend, What a long time has passed without news from you. I dare not ask you to write to me, but . . . I hope that you have an irresistible desire to do so. The In Memoriam—what music, everything is there. I would like to speak to you about every note, but . . . you know these truths better than me. What we have in our hands is real, concrete, and thus we acquire what I will not have the poor taste to express. When are you coming to Europe? Where, if you are coming? We all need you furiously, but, despite my selfishness, I will choose to leave you to your work. Why are the distances so great and the expenses so high? I would come to see you, but . . . it is only a dream. We’ve recently had a festival—lots of notes, “impressions,” “emotions,” and little music. Many systems, without any real technique, and one quickly perceives that these types of complications are only a crutch. But, no matter what language they choose . . . the result would be in vain, because they produce nothing more than the banal and the odd. Desire is what is missing from their music. Wasn’t able to hear Noces yesterday. Scherchen conducted. It was likely good but dogmatic. Nothing else to tell you that is worth being said. I send my love, thank you and I believe I benefit completely from everything you have given us. With all my heart, your faithful Nadia B � Boulanger à Stravinsky Ecoles d’art américaines Fondation reconnue d’utilité publique Conservatoire de musique – Ecole des beaux-arts Palais de Fontainebleau (36 rue Ballu Paris IX) Monsieur Igor Strawinsky 1260 N. Wetherly Drive Hollywood, California USA 7 novembre 1954 Bien cher Ami, Que le temps est long qui me laisse sans nouvelles de vous—je n’ose pourtant pas vous demander d’écrire, mais…Je souhaite que vous en ayez l’irrésistible désir! L’In Memoriam— quelle musique—tout est là. Je voudrais parler de chaque note, mais…vous savez mieux que moi ces vérités. On a dans les mains du réel, du concret, et ainsi on atteint ce que je n’aurai pas le mauvais gout d’exprimer. Quand venez[-]vous en Europe ? Où, si vous venez ? Nous avons tous un furieux besoin de vous, mais, malgré mon égoïsme, je choisis de vous laisser à votre travail. Pourquoi les distances si grandes, les dépenses si élevées ? Je viendrais vous embrasser, mais…c’est là rêver. Avons eu un festival, dernièrement—beaucoup de notes, « d’impressions », « d’émotions » peu de musique. Beaucoup de systèmes, sans vraie technique—et vite, on s’aperçoit que ce genre de complications n’est qu’une facilité. Mais qu’importe le langage qu’ils choisissent…le résultat serait vain, car ils ne tirent pas plus du banal que du singulier, c’est la salive qui leur manque. N’ai pu entendre hier Noces. Scherchen dirigeait. Ce devait être bien, mais dogmatique. Rien à vous raconter qui vaille [sic] d’être dit. Je vous embrasse, vous remercie et je crois, profite pleinement de tout ce que vous nous donnez.

I know that we see things in the exact same way. Thus, you will have completely understood the fundamental motives of the three-week-long stay that Denise and I just had in Munich; neither we nor others can do anything for the situation,[but] we can save what can be saved for the good of my father. This is because there is nobody around him to think reasonably both about his health and his mental comfort. What is perhaps the saddest aspect of all of this is the mental solitude in which he finds himself confined, to which he almost surrenders at times, but he can’t break out of. It is hard to understand from the outside. We ourselves can only suspect the extent of it and now that we are certain of it . . . With regard to the course of the disease, speaking of convalescence, it is going satisfactorily at the present moment. The immediate moment is not alarming. It is the future that worries us terribly, as nothing will be done to look after him, despite what is said. And, alas, the problem is much more complicated by the fact that Prof. Diehl (the doctor treating him), whom I believe to be a good practitioner, but who committed, as soon as the treatment began, the incommensurable psychological error of leaving my father with the hope of an early resumption of his activity! It’s truly crazy, but that’s how it is. It is clear that it wasn’t necessary to brutally tell him “Never again!” but it would have been at least necessary to set aside the future and to expect only a partial return to his activity in a future that is as vague and as far away as possible. This is what should have been clearly established from the start. The next scheduled concert (the 29th of this month in Rome) must then take place, at least in principle, in three weeks! It’s incredible! It is true that he’ll only conduct the Canticum Sacrum with the same choir as in Venice, but still! The only thing we find reassuring about the situation is that our friend Dr. Gilbert from Geneva— who came twice to see my father in Munich at our request, and explained to him rather abruptly the very serious danger he is now exposed to—will go to Geneva and Rome, specifically to be on site. He will check everything just before the rehearsals, and if necessary, keep him from picking up the baton. And above all, [he is going] especially to intervene in whatever way his status as friend and professional expert allows him, in order to attempt [to convince] my father [not to do] the London concert that should take place a few days later and that he doesn’t want to give up for anything in the world—only because of Professor Diehl’s attitude. But at least he accepted to submit, in extremis, to the verdict of Dr. Gilbert at the time of the Rome concert. London, then, will ultimately be cancelled, but you see how complicated all of this is. Good, but what next? Because it’s upon returning to America, first to New York, where they have quite a number of projects, then to Hollywood, which will be the terrible danger. This is what terrifies us, because there’s nobody over there, I fear, to oppose him with the necessary authority, in his most unreasonable undertakings . . . and we can do absolutely nothing about it! There’s nothing left for us but the consolation, which is very slight, of telling you that without our time in Munich, nothing would have changed in his life, either now or in the next few weeks. I am telling you this without modesty: if Denise and I had not gone to Munich, I believe that we would already be in �the midst of running full speed directly toward catastrophe . . . You come to mind, very dear Friend, among the very rare people who can understand all of this and share in our worries, and to whom we can speak with so freely. We are infinitely grateful to you for this . . . Allow me to send you all of our friendly and affectionate devotion, Théodore P.S. Is it necessary to add all that we are feeling in regard to what is currently going on in the world?! More than ever, our only comfort must be in the Catholic faith. � Théodore Strawinsky à Boulanger Genève 7 novembre 1956 Chère Nadia, En rentrant à Vassorré vous avez trouvé, rue Ballu, ma lettre. Je sais que nous voyons les choses exactement de la même façon. Aussi aurez-vous compris parfaitement les motifs profonds du séjour de trois semaines que Denise et moi venons de faire à Munich ; il s’agissait, dans une situation de fait contre laquelle nous ne pouvons rien ni les nous, ni les autres, de sauver pour le bien de mon père tout ce qui peut être sauvé. Car il n’y a personne auprès de lui pour penser raisonnablement tant à sa santé qu’à son confort moral. Ce qu’il y a peut-être de plus triste dans l’ensemble, c’est la solitude morale dans laquelle il se trouve confiné, qu’il avoue presque par moments mais qu’il ne peut plus rompre. Il est difficile de s’en rendre compte de l’extérieur. Nous-mêmes ne pouvoir que le soupçonner, nous en avons maintenant acquis la certitude... Quant au cours de la maladie, disons de la convalescence, cela va semble-t-il pour le moment d’une façon satisfaisante. L’immédiat n’est pas alarmant. C’est l’avenir qui nous inquiète terriblement, car rien ne sera fait pour le ménager, bien au contraire, malgré des paroles. Et le problème a compliqué beaucoup, hélas ! du fait du Prof. Diehl (le médecin traitant) qui est je crois un bon praticien, mais qui a commis dès le commencement l’incommensurable erreur psychologique de laisser à mon père l’espoir d’une reprise prochaine de son activité ! C’est une pure folie mais c’est comme cela. Il est clair qu’il ne fallait pas lui dire brutalement « plus jamais ! » mais au moins fallait-il réserver l’avenir et n’envisager éventuellement une reprise limitée d’activité que dans un futur vague et aussi éloigné que possible. Voilà ce qui aurait dû être établi clairement dès le premier jour. Au bien de cela, le prochain concert prévu (le 29 de ce mois à Rome) doit donc avoir lieu, du moins en principe, dans trois semaines ! On croit rêver ! Il est vrai qu’il n’y dirigera que le Canticum Sacrum et avec le même chœur qu’à Venise, mais tout de même ! La seule chose qui nous rassure à ce sujet est que notre ami le Dr. Gilbert de Genève qui, sur notre demande, est venu voir mon père deux fois à Munich et lui a expliqué, presque crûment, le danger très grave auquel il est maintenant exposé, ira tout exprès de Genève à Rome pour être sur place, fais tous les examens nécessaires juste avant les répétitions et, s’il y a bien, lui interdire de prendre la baguette et surtout pour intervenir par tous les moyens que lui confèrent et son amitié et son autorité professionnelle afin de faire tâcher à mon père le concert de Londres qui devrait avoir bien quelques jours plus tard et auquel—uniquement à cause de l’attitude du Prof Diehl—il ne veut actuellement renoncer pour rien au monde. Mais au moins a- t-il accepté de se soumettre, in extremis, au verdict du Dr. Gilbert au moment du concert de Rome. Londres sera donc, en fin de compter supprimé, mais vous voyez combien tout cela est difficile et compliqué. Bon, mais après ? Car c’est au retour en Amérique, à New York d’abord où ils ont une foule de projets, à Hollywood ensuite, que sera le terrible danger. C’est cela qui nous épouvante car il n’y aura personne là-bas, je le crains, pour s’opposer, avec l’autorité nécessaire, aux plus folles entreprises…et nous n’y pouvons absolument rien ! Il ne nous reste que la consolation, bien maigre, de vous dire que sans notre séjour à Munich, rien n’aurait été �changé dans sa vie, même maintenant et dans les prochaines semaines. Je le dis sans modestie : si Denise et moi n’étions pas aller à Munich, je crois qu’on serait déjà en train de courir à toute vitesse directement à la catastrophe… Vous venez en tête, chère grande Amie, parmi les très rares personnes qui peuvent comprendre tout cela et partagent nos angoisses et à qui nous puissions en parler avec autant de liberté. Nous vous en savons un gré infini… Permettez-moi de vous embrasse avec tout notre affectueux et amical dévouement, Théodore P.-S. Est-il besoin d’ajouter tout ce que l’on ressent à la vue de ce qui se passe actuellement dans le monde entier ? ! Plus que jamais notre unique consolation doit être dans la foi Catholique. � 1956 Author: Théodore Stravinsky Canticum Sacrum Denise Stravinsky Denise Strawinsky Recipient: Nadia Boulanger Theodore Strawinsky https://digex.lib.uoguelph.ca/files/original/3094ef26e939087f7264c6c837ee693a.pdf f994045dfc018424a730c21dfbeb3e5e https://digex.lib.uoguelph.ca/files/original/1db36f744c6413f23f30948fb1d59a48.pdf e021d0906ed49063bddf15370b7c3fbf Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

It was a performance without celebrities, leaving only the work itself the task of producing its effect and achieving it completely. Pierre of Monaco went to Zurich to hear it and told me of the public’s immediate, constant, striking reaction.

Pierre de Monaco est allé à Zurich pour l’entendre, et m’a raconté la réaction du public, immédiate, constante, frappante. Nous sommes plongés dans la partition, tous les jeunes sont marqués par tout ce qu’elle leur apporte. Je vous embrasse, vous aime à la folie tous deux—et m’étonne de ne pas voler vous rejoindre. Faut-il que je sois vraiment empêchée !

In fact, they didn’t send you my own copies (complete opera in three volumes) but two volumes (acts 1 and 2) which were all that Boosey & Hawkes had, and which they had made available to La Scala. According to the preceding letter you see that you are going to receive the three volumes. Decide for yourself what you want to do with the other two, or, to be safe, ask Boosey & Hawkes what they would like to do about them. Love, I Str. � Chere Nadia, Ayant recu un mot de Ghiringhelli j’ai enfin pu y voir clair dans l’histoire des volumes du Rake. On vous en effet envoyé non pas mes exemplaires a moi (opera complet en 3 volumes) mais 2 volumes (actes 1 et 2) qui etaient tout ce que Boosey & Hawkes possedaient alors, et qu’ils avaient mis a la disposition de la Scala. D’apres ce qui precede vous verrez que vous allez recevoir les 3 volumes. Decidez vous-meme ce que vous voulez faire des deux autres ou, pour etre plus en surete, demandez vous-meme a Boosey & Hawkes ce qu’ils veulent en faire.
