I cannot tell you my sorrow in parting with it—not a day went by that I did not owe it for profound and radiant joys. I was hoping to make a two-piano reduction—this will [have to wait] for your return. Allow me also to enclose a cheque—if the circumstances and my stupid illness were not complicating everything, you would have had it sooner. But what you’ve given is so meaningful that many years will pass before we will have exhausted its richness. How can I thank you—need I tell you. You know, don't you, what you mean to all of us, and above all, I add to a limitless admiration my whole-hearted affection, dear Friend, Your Nadia Boulanger � Boulanger à Stravinsky 36 rue Ballu, 9ème 27 mars 1936 Cher Ami, Voici la partition de Perséphone.

J’avais espéré faire une réduction pour 2 pianos—ce sera pour votre retour. Permettez-moi aussi de joindre un chèque— si les circonstances, et ma stupide maladie n’avaient tout compliqué, vous auriez été là plus souvent. Mais ce que vous avez donné a une telle signification que bien des années passeront avant que nous n’ayons épuisé la richesse. Combien je vous remercie—dois-je vous le dire.

Pier 90, N.R. N.Y.C Mr. Igor Strawinsky 25 Rue du Faubourg St. Honoré Paris, France April 19, 1938 Dear Friend, I just sent you a wire because I am very worried about not having received the material for the first two movements. The final movement, which I know well now, is so beautiful. The copying will be done very carefully and I think that all will be well. I believe that Mrs. Bliss counts on having the manuscript for the performance. Would you please send it to me? I will deliver it to her. Or would you prefer to send it to her directly? Excuse my meddling in something that does not concern me—but . . . have you thought to have the dedication printed Another thing: I do not know if you should come here next year—but could we draft an agreement saying that you reserve—for you firstly, and then for me should you be unable—the performance of the Concerto, for one year? I am writing to Strecker to say the same thing, but naturally, only what suits you can suit me. But, it seems to me that I have so connected my life with your work this year that I would give anything—if you do not come—to have the remarkable privilege of making the concerto known here. Forgive me if you find this request indiscreet, [and] know that I am guided only by my deep affection for what you mean to all of us, and not foolish ambition. It is a matter of pride in knowing what this concerto represents. Last night, again, at Wellesley, it was such a wonderful time with Le Sacre. Today with the Duo concertant; the day before yesterday with the Concerto for Two Pianos; Saturday the Ave Maria; next week, Mavra; and so forth . . . How can I thank you? My thoughts go much further, because a work of art, to a certain degree, is an image of God. I cannot express it, but I know the proof flows from what is beautiful, from what is.

Je crois que Madame Bliss compte avoir le manuscrit pour l’exécution. Voulez-vous bien me l’envoyer. Je le lui remettrai. Ou préférez-vous le lui envoyer directement? Pardon de me mêler de ce qui ne me regarde pas—mais…avez-vous pensé à faire imprimer la dédicace ? Autre chose : Je ne sais pas si vous devez venir ici l’an prochain—mais pourrions-nous faire un arrangement en disant que vous réservez, à vous d’abord, et puis à moi à votre défaut, l’exécution du Concerto, pour un an. J’écris à Strecker dans le même sens, mais naturellement, seul ce qui vous convient peut me convenir. Mais, il me semble avoir tant associé ma vie à votre œuvre cette année ici que je donnerais je ne sais quoi pour, si vous ne venez pas, avoir l’insigne privilège de faire connaître le concerto [sic] ici. Pardon si vous trouvez cette demande indiscrète, seul mon attachement profond à ce que vous êtes pour nous tous, et non une stupide ambition, me guide, sentez-le.

This music (complete parts for the Concerto in E-flat) will be sent in rolls (three, if I’m not mistaken) by mail and . . . Strecker hopes that there will not be any difficulties with customs that could slow the arrival of this music in time for rehearsals—something which would be truly dreadful. In my first letter to you (of April 6), I had asked if you had seen Mrs. Bliss and if you had spoken to her on the subject of our last meeting here—which is to say the question of the second and final payment. You never responded (I can only imagine everything you have going on inside your head!). If you think of it, would you be so kind as to speak with her about it to speed up the payment, which would do me a great service (especially now—God knows what the sickness of my daughter and wife are costing me). I impatiently await news of rehearsals and of the scores, if they arrive in time. Fondly, Your I. Str [P.S.] Excuse the hasty scribbling � Boulanger à Stravinsky Monsieur I.

Il me faut pourtant vous dire quelle joie a été ce concert du 8 chez les Bliss. Je savais, mais ne savais rien, quelle joie me réservant l’exécution du Concerto—et en l’entendant j’ai, une fois de plus, compris ce que je ne sais pas vous dire, que je ne peux pas exprimer, mais qui est dans ma vie, une certitude d’une telle solitude. Et après tous les cours consacrés à votre musique, je crois que je comprends vraiment mieux. Le Concerto a été joué honnêtement, bien, vraiment bien –et a été entendu, je crois. Il reste beaucoup de fautes—et quelques problèmes—je souhaite que vous puissiez attendre mon retour pour imprimer, car il me semble que quelques passages devraient être modifiés dans les parties (répliques insuffisantes, la notation, etc.) et je ne peux dresser cette liste maintenant—je travaille presque nuit et jour. Comment vous remercier –et comment vous prouver un si grand dévouement—tout est éclairé par vous—non seulement par vos œuvres, mais par la clarté qu’elles projettent sur toute la musique. Vous nous avez rendu des oreilles et une conscience. Je ne peux me détacher du Concerto —tout sonne d’une telle manière !

Strawinsky 25 Faubourg St. Honoré Paris, France May 15, 1938 Dear Friend, I have not been able to write you, because the life I lead is an impossible problem. But I must, all the same, tell you what a joy the concert was at the Blisses’ on the 8th. I knew, but did not know at all, the joy I would find in performing the Concerto—and upon listening to it, I have understood once again [things that] I wouldn’t know how to tell you. I can’t express it, but such loneliness is a certainty in my life. And, after all the courses dedicated to your music, I believe that I understand all the better. The Concerto was played honestly, well, very well—and was understood, I believe. There remain many mistakes—and a few problems—I hope that you can wait for my return before printing it, because it seems to me that a few passages should be modified in places (insufficient repeats, the notation, etc.) and I cannot formulate the list at this time—I work almost night and day. How can I thank you? And how can I prove to you such great devotion? You have clarified everything, not only through your works, but also by the clarity they project onto all music. You have given us ears and a conscience! I cannot tear myself away from the Concerto— everything has such an unexpected sound! I think of you and your family with deep affection, and am close to you through these heavy, anxious times. May God be with you and bring peace. This helplessness in the face of sickness is so frightful. Your Nadia [P.S.] You must know that the Blisses were deeply moved by the Concerto and are so thankful. � Boulanger à Stravinsky Gargenville S.O. 25 Aout 1938 Cher Ami Voici enfin mon pauvre petit chèque.
