But, in truth, I am slightly afraid of inflicting on you a useless letter full of my effusions—and what’s more, I know how to listen to you without daring to speak to you. Perhaps because I admire you so much, I am acting silly. A lot of disappointing concerts this winter—with many of the attempts showing both powerlessness and self-confidence at the same time. Out of clumsy hands and weak minds came a bunch of derivative, inadequate tricks and stuff. But it would only take one work and one will to put everything back in order. You cannot imagine how angry I was at myself for not written to you at the start of March—that month which is marked by such real pain for you. I know, I know that the years change the outward appearance of what we allow to be seen, but the wounds never close. Her photograph is here, near to me—the light given off by her being will never be extinguished—and . . . I know that She always prays for us. I send my love and miss, more than you can know, the times which are now so far away, and during which we were so close. Yet what seems to have changed has not changed the essential [the essence of our bond]. And then, you are—and that is enough. With all my heart, Your Nadia [P.S.] Best wishes for the household. � * * * Boulanger à Stravinsky 36 rue Ballu Paris IXè Tel: Tri 57-91 11 avril 1960 Et nous voila bien près de Pâques—il me semble que je ne vous ai pas écrit depuis bien longtemps, mon cher Igor, et vous me manquez pourtant plus que je ne sais vous le dire.

Are you going? Are you in Venice—is the past still living in the present? All of this is preoccupying me as I know you are tormented by it. And it’s sad, as each loses and nobody wins. And what we lose, especially in this manner, is never to be found again. I want to hope that my worries are in vain, that you were able to spend some time with your Father, to hear his new work, well-performed. Alas, new works always seem difficult, audacious pieces, or more accurately, incomprehensible. And in all his glory, your Father knows the bitterness of being, ultimately, rather alone with the present—so cruelly and blindly misunderstood. All of that seems paradoxical and is veiled by a small number of enlightened musicians and some courtiers. Certainly, it does not matter: Le Sacre, Noces, Œdipe and soon Canticum Sacrum, then Threni will take their legitimate places. I am very sad not to be in Venice, close to him—you know what is in my heart, in my mind, in my life every day. But whether I’m close or far away, he always seems present to me, and my reverence never ceases to accompany him. Dear Théodore, all of this tells you, does it not, how much I love you all, Denise, Kitty—in the memory of your Mother. And I am your, Nadia B. P.S. I’ll be in Lans en Vercors until the end of the month without a doubt � * * * Boulanger à Théodore Strawinsky 15 septembre 1960 Cher Théodore, Je pense beaucoup à vous en ce moment. Allez-vous, êtes-vous à Venise—le passé reste- t-il vivant dans le présent ? Tout cela me préoccupe comme je vous en sais tourmenté. Et c’est triste, car chacun perd et personne ne gagne. Et ce que nous perdons, dans cet ordre surtout, ne se retrouve jamais. Je veux espérer que mes alarmes sont vaines, que vous avez pu aller passer quelques temps avec votre Père, entendre sa nouvelle œuvre, bien exécutée. Hélas les œuvres neuves semblent toujours difficiles, les œuvres audacieuses, ou plus réellement vraies, incompréhensibles. Et dans toute sa gloire, votre Père connaît l’amertume d’être, en fin de compte, à peu près seul avec son présent—si cruellement et aveuglément méconnu. Tout cela semble paradoxal et est voilé par un petit nombre de musiciens plus éclairés et de quelques courtisans. Certes il importe peu : le Sacre, Noces, Œdipe et bientôt Canticum Sacrum, puis Threni prendront leur place légitime. Suis très triste de n’être pas à Venise, près de lui—vous savez ce qu’il est dans mon cœur, dans mon esprit, dans ma vie de chaque jour. Mais que je sois proche ou lointaine, il me semble toujours présent et ma vénération ne cesse de l’accompagner. Cher Théodore, tout cela qui vous dit, n’est-ce pas, combien je vous aime tous, Denise, Kitty—dans le souvenir de votre Mère. Et je suis votre Nadia B.

I saw your father-in-law upon his return from Moscow, walking with a bit of difficulty, but with an extraordinary presence—so preoccupied by you, by you all.

But once again I find myself near you in Hollywood—but also in Paris—I believe I’m sharing some of your views toward the Past, some of your silence in the Present, and your view of the new possibilities the material offers you and your mind. I don’t dare tell you what leads me always to this struggle before you, one that has no beginning and no end. In it I see your pain, your wounds, your aspirations, and I repeat, from the bottom of my heart, “May Peace be with you.” Your burden is heavy if it brings with it light, and I believe I feel and understand. I love you so much. I send you all my love, I say to you thank you, and I hear you wherever you may be, always there, Your Nadia B � * * * 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 – Ecole des beaux-arts Palais de Fontainebleau – Le Directeur du Conservatoire 18 juin 1962 Très cher Igor, Bientôt cet anniversaire que le monde entier célèbre et ne saurait assez célébrer. Mais, moi, je me retrouve, près de vous, à Hollywood—mais aussi à Paris— je crois partager certains de vos regards vers le Passé, certaines de vos silences dans le Présent, et votre perception de la nouvelle possibilité que vous offre la matière, et votre esprit. Je n’ose vous dire ce qui m’ément[sic] toujours devant cette lutte avec vous-même qui n’a commencement ni fin. J’y vois aussi vos peines, vos blessures, vos aspirations—et je vous redis, du plus profond de mon cœur, « que la Paix soit avec vous ». Votre fardeau est lourd, s’il est porteur de lumière, et je crois sentir, et comprendre. Je vous aime tant. Je vous embrasse, je vous dis merci, et je vous entends où que vous soyez, toujours là, Votre, Nadia B � 1962 Author: Nadia Boulanger Denise Strawinsky Nadia Location: Fontainebleau Recipient: Denise Stravinsky
