For Baudelaire’s centenary, the Minister, Mr. André Malraux, would like to organize an event to pay tribute to the musician who has dominated, to say the least, this century. Therefore, would you agree to come to conduct the French premiere of the work dedicated to the memory of Aldous Huxley along with the Symphonie de psaumes and [other pieces] of yours that you would choose yourself? In the event that you would be interested in accepting, under what terms would you like the concert to be organized? What fee, how many rehearsals, and naturally, Bob? Could you send me a night letter collect telling the dates, fee, number of rehearsals, Bob? You would then receive an official letter confirming the invitation. Malraux attaches extreme importance to this project as does Rufina Ampernova. He’ll write to you later, I’m so anxious to read this work dedicated to the memory of Aldous Huxley. Could you help me with this? I send all my love.

I spent such happy hours in the one that will become . . . “the old one.” No one in the world, and this is inevitable, has your vitality: you are always twenty years old. You’ll remember that Clémenceau met with a gentleman who, stunned by his vivacity, said to him, “You are so young, Mr. President!” Clémenceau was at that point 88 years old. His instantaneous reply: “When one is young, it is forever.” But now, to more serious things. You’re coming to Berlin, aren’t you? Think of poor Nicky who at first thought only of you, and now sees this festival centered on you, put together for you; he is frustrated that the inspiration [for the event] might be missing But what am I saying is, if it is better for you to turn down this trip, then it goes without saying it needn’t be thought of anymore. All the same, I’ll still wager that you’ll be in Berlin at the end of September. I would only go there for you, truth be told. Best wishes to Bob, to Vera, to you. All my tenderness as always.

The state of my very old and dear Father distressed me: he is so fragile! They say he is doing better—yes, better than June when it seemed his days were numbered. Let us join our prayers so he might at least be spared the pain and sadness not caused by his physical state, alas! . . . Physically, he is suffering a lot, mostly because of how terribly thin he is. Yet, he eats well enough and happily. With regard to his morale, he seems immersed in his own impenetrable world and [then], suddenly, will offer a reflection that denotes a certain mental lucidity, but these instances are rare and brief. He says himself, for example, that he is conscious of no longer being able to coordinate things in his head. He dozes or sleeps a large part of the day. The only pleasure that remains to him—and this is deeply moving—is to listen to music. So, we played him records. It’s very poignant to see him listening while following the score. With regard to the atmosphere surrounding him, you know yourself, dear Nadia, how heavy, painful, and troubled it is. My only consolation was to see how admirably well he is taken care of, insofar as the nurses who surround him day and night (there are four) are perfect in kindness and attention. This Vera knew how to successfully arrange for him, and I’m grateful to her. We would so like to come to Paris and hear your news and talk about everything that is important to you, but I don’t believe it will be possible before the end of January. I send my love. Yours faithfully and wholeheartedly, Théodore � * * * Théodore Strawinsky à Boulanger Genève 7 décembre 1969 Chère Nadia, Rentré avant-hier de New York où j’ai passé deux semaines, je ne veux pas laisser passer les jours sans vous écrire, chère grande Amie, au moins quelques lignes, vous ouvrir mon cœur bien lourd. L’état de mon cher et si aimé Père m’a bouleversé : il est d’une telle fragilité ! On dit qu’il va mieux—oui, mieux qu’en juin où l’on a bien cru que ses heures étaient comptées. Joignons nos prières pour qu’au moins lui soient épargnées les douleurs et tristesses qui ne sont pas celles de son état physique, car hélas !.....Physiquement il souffre beaucoup surtout à cause de son excessive maigreur. Pourtant il mange heureusement assez bien. Au moral il semble plongé dans un monde à lui, impénétrable et, tout à coup, une réflexion qui dénote une certaine lucidité de l’esprit, mais ce ne sont que de rares et brefs instants. Il dit lui-même, par exemple, être [sic] conscient de ne plus pouvoir coordonner les choses dans sa tête. Il somnole ou dort une grande partie de la journée. Le seul plaisir qui lui reste—et c’est vraiment bouleversant—est d’écouter de la musique. Alors on lui fait tourner des disques. C’est poignant de le voir écouter en suivant la partition. Quant à l’atmosphère autour de lui, vous savez vous-même, chère Nadia, combien elle est lourde, pénible, troublée. Ma seule consolation a été de voir combien admirablement il est soigné, en ce sens que les infirmières qui se relayent autour de lui nuit et jour (il y en a 4) sont parfaites de gentillesse et d’attentions. Ceci, Vera a su le lui organiser et je lui en suis reconnaissant. Nous aimerions tant venir à Paris prendre de vos nouvelles et nous entretenir de tout ce que vous touche de si près, mais je ne crois pas que ce soit possible avant fin janvier. Je vous embrasse.

We’ve come to ask you to write a work for the concert, for a small orchestra of a maximum of fifteen instruments, perhaps with a narrator. It goes without saying that the Committee asks you to state the terms under which you would accept this commission. The concert would take place in October 1965. I can tell you that, in principle, the committee will accept your conditions. The President, Mr. Heim, believes your work alone would justify the entire program. Would you please tell me what you think about this, because our plans depend on you. Must I tell you my hope. (I felt such deep emotion seeing you and Vera again, and I admired Bob who put everything in its place with such intelligence, such order. As for the work, how can one dare to speak of it. It is essential and we are so happy to understand it. Each of your steps is so decisive.)
