Yes, the problems that are cropping up are so painful, and, as you say, critical in any plans, but what and how should I feel when all access toward my father has been virtually blocked?! What a tragedy, foremost for him, but also for us, his children . . . In such a situation we are powerless, because what can we do that won’t provoke too much of a painful shock for him, even though I know his deepest thoughts. I have just received a heartbreaking letter from Milène. The poor girl has front row seats to this tragedy. They are in New York (I mean my father) and plan to go to Paris around the 15th of this month. Here is Milène’s address: Mrs. André Marion 146 South La Peer Drive Los Angeles Calif. 90048 U.S.A.

Nous nous trouverons, justement à cette date là [sic] en Suisse !! Nous aurions donc pu avoir le bonheur de vous voir. Nous avons été rappelés d’ici d’urgence auprès de la mère de Denise qui avait eu une attaque et brusquement j’ai dû quitter mon travail ici (de grandes fresques dans une église) pour rentrer à Genève, mais notre courrier a continué à nous être envoyé ici. Quelle malchance pour nous, chère Nadia, combien nous aurions été heureux de vous revoir, d’évoque tant de problèmes qui nous tiennent à cœur…Et pendant notre séjour imprévu en Suisse, j’apprends par ma sœur Milène, que mon Père et Vera avec Robert Craft se trouvent à Zurich !! Ah ! Chère Amie, là trop de tristesse, les mots me manquent pour vous écrire, vous saurez lire entre les lignes, je le sais. Par moment mon cher Père, mieux, donne le change et ou le retrouve avec son intelligence, les réparties aigües, mais c’est en vaine qu’on cherchait la trace d’un quelconque bonheur dans ses yeux. Ses jambes ne le portent plus, ça vous le savez, mais plus du tout…et le voilà voyageant : après Zurich ce sera Paris ! Chère grande Amie, c’est une tragédie, mais que faire ? Il a fallu néanmoins Zurich pour que Denise et moi ayons le grand, grand bonheur de passer quelques heures avec lui et lui aussi a eu de la joie, il nous l’a dit. Quelle douceur pour mon cœur de fils. J’ai su qu’on vous avait dit, chère Nadia, que ça le fatiguait d’avoir des visites—et j’ai en tant de peine pour vous. Ils vont aller à Paris… Pour terminer ces lignes qui viennent du cœur, que je vous redise, chère Nadia, combien nous avons été navrés de vous avoir manquée à Genève, mais j’espère à Paris…quand ? Je ne sais au juste. Avec tout notre fidèle attachement, Denise et moi vous disons notre profonde affection et vous embrasser, Théodore P.-S. Nous serons particulièrement près de vous en pensées après demain [le] 17, au moment émouvant de midi. Avec vous et tous vos amis. � Théodore Strawinsky to Boulanger Almelo October 15, 1968 My very dear Nadia, It was upon arriving at the hotel in Holland, where we have settled for a few months, that I found your letter addressed to Geneva . . . it followed us here where we were not! We were actually in Switzerland at that time!! We could’ve had the pleasure of seeing you then. We were brought back here by an emergency surrounding Denise’s mother, who had had an attack, and I had to leave my work here (large frescoes in a church) abruptly to go back to Geneva, but our mail continued to be delivered here. What bad luck for us, dear Nadia. How happy we would have been to see you again, to discuss so many problems we keep in our hearts . . . And during our unplanned stay in Switzerland, I heard from my sister, Milène, that my Father and Vera and Robert Craft were in Zurich!! Oh! Dear Friend, there is so much distress in this, I cannot find the words to write to you, but I know you can read between the lines. At moments, my dear Father gives the impression that he is doing better, and finds with his intelligence some critical responses, but it’s impossible to find any sort of happiness in his eyes. His legs don’t carry him anymore, that you know, but not at all anymore . . . and here he is travelling: after Zurich it will be Paris! My great, dear Friend, it’s a tragedy, but what can be done? Zurich was nonetheless necessary so that Denise and I could have the great, great happiness of spending a few hours with him, and he also found joy in it, so he told us. How comforting for a son’s heart. I know you were told, dear Nadia, that it tired him to have visits—and I feel so sad for you. They are going to go to Paris . . . To finish off these heartfelt lines, I’ll tell you again, dear Nadia, how upset we were to have missed you in Geneva, but I hope [we will see each other] in Paris . . . when? I don’t know exactly. With all our faithful attachment, Denise and I express to you our deepest affection and send tender thoughts, Théodore P.S. We will be with you in thought, especially the day after tomorrow, the 17th, at the emotional moment of noon. With you and all of your friends. � Author: Théodore Stravinsky Denise Stravinsky Denise Strawinsky Recipient: Nadia Boulanger Robert Craft Theodore Strawinsky Vera Stravinsky https://digex.lib.uoguelph.ca/files/original/703a5be0266c50e295b9afd44583bfc6.pdf 5ac49b98efc7338e8e993cbd22378d65 https://digex.lib.uoguelph.ca/files/original/ee57e52024c8329d2978c9b156fe49ec.pdf ca6f53512bc806bc4e40fdb160ae6156 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

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
