It’s an issue of money as well! How can I express—my real grief! It seems that the Rake’s in Zurich was received with extraordinary enthusiasm. 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. We have dived into the score, all the young people are deeply affected by everything it brings them. I send you both hugs and kisses, love you both madly, and am astonished at my not flying to meet you. Something must truly be preventing me! Your Nadia B. � Boulanger à Stravinsky 36 rue Ballu Paris IX Quelle tristesse de penser que vous êtes là, si près, que vous représentez tant pour moi—et que mes obligations, qu[i] me paraissaient si peu importantes à côté de la joie de vous voir, de vous entendre, me retiennent ici. La question matérielle aussi ! Que vous dire—mon vrai chagrin ! Il parait que le Rake’s à Zurich a été accueilli avec un enthousiasme extraordinaire. Représentation sans vedettes, laissant à l’œuvre seule le soin de produire son effet—et l’obtenant, d’une manière totale. Pierre de Monaco est allé à Zurich pour l’entendre, et m’a raconté la réaction du public, immédiate, constante, frappante.

What prayers wouldn’t I say so that you would conduct The Rake, Dear Igor, but I don’t dare believe it yet! Recently heard an incredibly striking rehearsal for Noces—amateur choir, disoriented at first, soon took the score on, and ultimately were overtaken by a not impeccable enthusiasm, but modestly did their best. Good soloists, a conductor who knew his role, [but a] foolish public. It’s running for only one repeat performance. Excuse this second letter—about the theme—I doubt you have accepted, but understand that Gavoty insisted I countersign his letter. Try to pull yourself away from the delights of Capone and come quickly—we need you here! And everywhere. How I miss my couch and those days in Hollywood! But telling you how much I miss you, I wonder if you know, and think sometimes of me? Lie [if you must], but just tell me that you do. Dear Vera, dear Igor, with hugs and kisses, I love you deeply. Your Nadia B. [P.S.] MERRY CHRISTMAS [P.P.S.] Finally have “my” orchestral score for The Rake’s—what joy! � Boulanger à Stravinsky 36 rue Ballu Paris, IX [le 25 décembre 1951] Arriverai-je au jour dit pour que mes vœux vous disent ma constante pensée. Quelles prières ne fais-je pas pour que le Rake’s soit conduit par vous, Cher Igor, mais je n’ose encore y croire ! Entendu dernièrement une audition de Noces très frappante—chœur d’amateurs, d’abord désorienté, bientôt se procurant la partition, et finalement, pris d’un enthousiasme pas toujours impeccable, mais modestement s’y efforçant. Bons solistes—chef connaissant bien son affaire, public fou, coulant qu’un bisse. Pardon pour la 2de lettre—au sujet thème—je doute que vous acceptiez mais, je comprends bien que Gavoty ait [sic] insisté pour que je contresigne sa lettre.

Conservatoire de musique Le Directeur du Conservatoire February 5, 1952 Dear Igor, Upon receiving your letter, I telephoned rue d’Anjou to obtain the translation. Some passages are good, but others are impossible. All of your rhythms are changed. Where the syncopation is everything, equal values render it unacceptably monotonous. Some expressions also, such as: “The deuce,” whose resonance is so striking and whose meaning is supposed to convey at once so many things through the force and complexity of words as [Kraus] performed it, for which the tone—which is too clear—and the silences (le vide) are terrible at this incredibly important point. What do you want to do? 1) Write to the translator yourself to indicate to him the parts you don’t like. 2) Find someone here (I know someone) to try to set to rights what must be changed. I’ll await your instructions. This work must be done quickly, even if the Opéra’s date remains uncertain, because learning a text that is then changed would be just maddening for the artists. Concerning the performers: Bourdin will be perfect. Michaud is slightly lacking in her lower [register], maybe in lyricism, but she will not accept, I believe, if she doesn’t feel she can do a good job. You ought to, at all costs, get Cuénod for Sellem and Simoneau for Tom. For the latter, they are thinking of Lucca [sic] who is not as good as Simoneau. I leave Thursday for Monaco. Lecture on The Rake. I am terrified because . . . I am incapable of properly saying what these people nonetheless must know. They are led constantly down the wrong path! If you need to reach me between the 8th and the 18th: Monaco Palace, Principality of Monaco Hugs and kisses to both of you. I am your, Nadia B [P.S.] Received first and second acts from Milan. A telegram announcing a letter to come. This never arrived, nor did the third act, and the copy I received doesn’t contain your written corrections, nor anyone else’s! � Boulanger à Stravinsky Ecoles d’art américaines Fondation reconnue d’utilité publique Palais de Fontainebleau (S.&.M.) Conservatoire de musique Le Directeur du Conservatoire 5 février 1952 Cher Igor, Au reçu de votre lettre ai téléphoné rue d’Anjou pour obtenir la traduction. Certains passages sont bien [sic], mais d’autres sont impossibles. Tous vos rythmes changés. Où la syncope est tout, des valeurs égales donnent une monotonie inacceptable. Quelques expressions aussi comme : The deuce, dont la résonnance est si frappante et le sens, voulant à la fois dire tant de choses, par la force et la complexité du mot, rendu par Hésa [Kraus], dont la sonorité trop claire et le vide sont terribles à cet endroit si important. Que voulez-vous ? 1) Écrire vous-même au traducteur, lui signaler les points que vous n’acceptez pas. 2) Trouver ici (je connais quelqu’un) pour tenter de remettre au point ce qu’il faut changer. J’attendrai vos instructions—il est nécessaire de faire ce travail d’urgence, même si la date de l’Opéra reste incertaine, car pour les artistes, apprendre un texte qui serait changé ensuite serait bien fâcheux. En ce qui concerne les interprètes : Bourdain sera parfait—Micheau manquera de grave peut-être de lyrisme, mais n’acceptera pas, je crois, si elle ne se sent pas en mesure de bien faire. Il faudrait à tous prix obtenir Cuénod pour Sallem, et Simoneau pour Tom. Pour ce dernier il est question de Lucca, moins bien que Simoneau. Je pars jeudi pour Monaco—conférence sur le Rake—je suis épouvante car…je suis incapable de bien dire ce que pourtant les gens doivent savoir. On les mène sans cesse dans les mauvais chemins !

You yourself know what the Cantata is, and I think you know that I hear, I see, I understand, and I love this music with my ears, my eyes, my hands, and my mind. Everything sounds [so beautifully], everything is a surprise, nothing could be any other way. A well-made object is a source of unending joy, and henceforth it travels very far, but . . . enough. No unpalatable pedantry! Every day the Cantate brings me new satisfaction, satisfaction that doesn’t lie, and goes far ahead. You are always, each time, different, but always, you. The story is somewhat the same with those few who have changed the face of the earth. But, possibly never to the extent that you have had to—the invincible need to move forward, to always open one’s eyes as if for the first time. Incorrigible babbling. You well know that it is better to just be silent! I send my love, I thank you, I lament at being so far from you and I am yours and Vera’s with all my heart. Nadia B [P.S.] Could you please give this small card to Bob—thank you! � Boulanger à Stravinsky 22 janvier 1953 Cher Ami, Comment trouvez-vous le temps de penser encore à nous, si lointains, si petits, dur de là-bas, au milieu de ce travail incessant ? Le fait est qu’on en a un plaisir fou ! Que cela fait chaud au cœur. Et je vous dis un grand merci. J’ai maintenant la Cantate, piano, orchestre—nous chantons, lisons, étudions—sauf devant vous, je suis d’une éloquence superbe, mais que vous dire à vous. Même mon émotion me parait indiscrète, et vaine. Vous savez bien vous-même ce qu’est la Cantate—et je crois que vous savez que je l’entends, que je vois, que je comprends, et que j’aime cette musique avec mes oreilles, avec mes yeux, avec mes mains, et avec mon esprit. Tout sonne, tout est surprise—et tou[t] est inévitable. Un objet bien fait est source de joie sans fait,[sic] et dès lors il va très loin—mais…assez. Pas de pédants me qui serait [sic] pas digestible ! La Cantate, chaque jour, m’apporte de nouvelles satisfactions, de celles qui ne trompent pas, et vont très avant. Vous êtes toujours, chaque fois, un autre—et toujours, vous. L’histoire est un peu la même avec tous les quelques esprits qui ont changé la face du monde. Mais peut-être jamais au point où vous avez bien dû le faire—dans le besoin invincible d’avancer, d’ouvrir toujours les yeux comme pour la première fois. Incorrigible bavarde. Tu sais bien qu’il vaudrait mieux te taire ! Je vous embrasse, je vous remercie, je me lamente loin de vous et suis à vous et à Vera, de tout cœur. Nadia B. [P.-S.] Voulez-vous remettre à Bob ce petit carré—merci ! � 1953 Author: Nadia Boulanger Cantata Cantate Recipient: Igor Stravinsky Robert Craft Vera Stravinsky
