Miss Nadia Boulanger 36 rue Ballu Paris, IX France May 12, 1957 My dear Nadia, This is to tell you I received your letter of April 16 and as always—no time for letters. Boulez made an excellent impression on all of us: a musician of the first order, highly intelligent, he has good manners and is probably a generous man. His Marteau sans maître, which he conducted so well here, is an admirably well-ordered score, in spite of all the auditory and visual complications (counterpoint, rhythm, tempo). Without being too familiar with Boulez's music, I find it, frankly, preferable to many other things from his generation. I never received the microfilm (Isaak-Webern) that you had promised me from George Sachs who was supposed to come to the United States this Easter. We haven't heard anything about it. Just spoke with Nica Nabokov who will have returned to Paris when you read these lines. Telephone him to get the latest news. Please respond. Love, I.

Miss Nadia Boulanger 36 rue Ballu Paris, IX-eme France 12 mai 1957 Chere Nadia, C’est pour vous dire que j’ai bien recu votre mot du 16 avril et comme toujours—pas de temps pour des lettres. Boulez nous a fait tous une excellente impression : musicien de tout premier ordre, hautement intelligent il a des bonnes manieres et probablement est un homme genereux. Son Marteau sans maitre qu’il a si bien dirige ici est une partition admirablement ordonnee malgre toutes les complications (contrepoint, rythme, mesure) [audible] et lisible [sic]. Sans me sentir familier avec cette musique de Boulez je la trouve franchement preferable a bien des choses de sa generation. Je n’ai jamais recu le microfilm (Issak-Webern) que vous m’aviez promis par George Sachs qui devait venir a Paques aux Etats Unies. On a rien entendu d’elle. Viens de parler avec Nica Nabokov qui sera rentre a Paris lorsque vous lirez ces lignes. Telephonnez-lui pour avoir des nouvelles toutes fraiches. R.S.P [sic] Love, I.

Wetherly Drive Hollywood D46 California U.S.A. January 15, 1968 My Friend, This morning there was an admirable performance of Le Sacre under the precise, alive, and true direction of . . . Igor Stravinsky. And to think they argue: “[Is he a] conductor, yes or no?” And while witnessing the [only] one who could give such a performance, with real connections, his rhythms so perfectly set out and conducted. Sober, modest, and effective commentaries from H. Barraud. No literature sheds light on audible acts— honestly, intelligently. And he has rightly noted that there was not one Stravinsky of yesterday and another of today, but one Stravinsky, for always, who is always new. I suppose he will give [a performance of] recent works here, the Requiem Canticles is a revelation for young people, not to mention those who are capable of hearing and understanding. I could go on and on, you give so much with work after work. Always new and always the same. I do not cease dreaming of seeing you, alas, [and] I hope you know that I always am near to you and to Vera. Nadia [P.S.] May God keep you and give you patience in the face of suffering. [P.P.S.] And many kind thoughts for Bob. � * * * Boulanger à 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 Monsieur Igor Strawinsky 1218 N. Wetherly Drive Hollywood D46 California USA 15 janvier 1968 Mon Ami, Ce matin admirable execution du Sacre sous la direction précise, vivante, fidèle. Sous la direction de…Igor Stravinsky. Et dire qu’ils discutent : chef d’orchestre, oui, non. Et en attendant qui donnerait une telle exécution, avec ses vrais rapports ses rythmes si parfaitement exposés et conduits. Commentaires sobres modeste et efficaces d’H. Barra[u]d. Aucune littérature, des faits sonores mis en lumière, honnêtement, intelligemment. Et il a bien marqué qu’il n’y avait pas un Stravinsky d’hier, un aujourd’hui, mais un Stravinsky de toujours et toujours nouveau. Je suppose qu’il va donner les œuvres de ces années-ci, Le[s] Requiem Canticles sont une révélation pour les jeunes—sans compter ceux qui sont capables d’entendre, de comprendre. Et je pourrais continuer et continuer, vous donnez tant d’œuvre en œuvre. Toujours nouveau et toujours un. Je ne cesse de rêver vous voir, hélas, que ne le puis-je sentez que je suis toujours près de vous et de Vera Nadia [P.-S.] Que Dieu vous garde et vous donne de la patience devant la souffrance. [P.P.-S.] Et tant de souvenirs et vœux pour Bob. � 1968 Author: Nadia Boulanger Henri Barraud Igor Location: California Le Sacre Du Printemps Nadia Location: Fontainebleau Recipient: Igor Stravinsky Requiem Canticles Robert Craft Vera Stravinsky
