I who love you greatly, admire you and, I believe, know you. This is perhaps one of the reasons for my silence—having penetrated your thoughts, your most secret being, could I betray what you never cease to hide. And then, I am incapable of saying the things that are so serious, so important. You have opened the doors that give true sense to music, to religion, to love—to courage? I send my love, I pray to God for you, and express my profound tenderness. My respect cannot be defined, it surpasses all measure.

Excuse me. 1) Variations dedicated to the memory of Aldous Huxley has nothing to do with his work. The months that this composition took me [to write] were the months when dear Aldous left us (throat cancer) and it was only natural that I dedicated this work to his memory. Of the rest, I am certain (and this does not discourage me) that this music would mean nothing to him (or would displease him) because what he liked was romantic and classical music, to which my composition is very much foreign. 2) I am no longer going to give concerts in Paris after the public’s and the press’s affront at the premiere of my Threni, conducted by myself in one of Boulez's concerts. This decision is final. 3) Moreover, let’s not forget that André Malraux—who (very naturally) is organizing an official event for the centenary of the great Baudelaire—had said not long ago that he considers music to be a secondary art. It would thus be ridiculous to impose on him (Minister of Public Instruction) pieces of a secondary art on such an important occasion. Those are the three things I wanted to say to you in response to your kind letter of December 4. Despite this “business” letter, I wish to underscore my friendship and best wishes, with which you are already familiar. Yours, I Str. P.S.

Excusez. 1) Variations dedie a la mémoire de Aldous Huxley n’a rien a faire avec son œuvre. Les mois que cette composition m’a pris furent les mois ou cher Aldous quittait sa vie (cancer de la gorge) et il n’etait que naturel que je dedicasse ce travail a sa mémoire. Du reste je suis certain (et cela ne me decourage pas) que cette musique ne lui dirait rien (ou lui deplairerait) car ce qu’il aimait etait la musique romantique et classique, dont ma composition est tres etrangere. 2) Je ne vais plus donner des concerts a Paris apres l’affrond du publique et de la presse a la premiere de mes Threni dirige par moi-meme dans un des concerts Boulez. C’est definitif cette decision. 3) D’autre part, ne l’oublions pas, que Andre Malraux qui (tres naturellement) organise une manifestation officielle pour le centenaire du grand Beaudelaire avait declare il n’y a pas longtemps qu’il considere la musique un art secondaire. Il serait donc ridicule de lui (Ministre de l’instruction Publique) imposer pour une si important occasion des pieces d’un art secondaire.

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.

Son génie se renouvelle pourtant, par un miracle presque incroyable. Son Requiem pour TS Eliot est un chef d’œuvre. Monumental autant que condensé. Et tout reste éclairé par celui qui porte la lumière depuis tant d’années. Toujours elle-même, toujours nouvelle.

Wetherly Drive Hollywood 46 California U.S.A. March 14, 1965 My friend, March 2 has passed, it is far and yet always near. I didn’t write to you, yet thought of Her, of you, of all who live in the shadows, and in the light. I feel you very near. I live alongside the memories that remain of our origins, of Abraham, with l’Élégie pour JFK, of this music of which every note has a real density. I’m attaching a letter from Stoutz’s son—if you like, I can act as an intermediary. I doubt you want to accept and that he can [afford your fee]. He is nevertheless very serious, and his desire to obtain this work is at its height. I have something to tell you. But all that we do not tell each other is there, very powerful, set in stone. Thank you for not ceasing to hear this world in your own way, and for the joy of the supreme security of performance. “He who manages to see every detail sees the whole of everything.” All my love to you and many thoughts for Vera and Bob, Nadia B [P.S.] I was in Rome, hence the delay. � * * * Boulanger à Stravinsky Monsieur Igor Stravinsky 1260 ou 1250 N. Wetherly Drive Hollywood 46 California USA 14 mars 1965 Mon ami, Le 2 mars est passé, loin et toujours proche. Je ne vous ai pas écrit, et pourtant, pensé, a Elle, à vous, à tout ce qui vit dans l’ombre, et dans la lumière. Je vous sens si proche. Je vis avec des souvenirs qui restent des sources, avec Abraham, avec l’Élégie pr JFK, avec cette musique dont chaque note a une telle densité. Vous joints une lettre du jeune de Stoutz si vous le préférez peut servir d’intermédiaire. Je doute que vous veuillez accepter et que lui le puisse. Il est pourtant très sérieux, et son désir d’obtenir cette œuvre au paroxysme ! Que de chose à vous dire. Mais tout ce que nous ne nous disons pas est là, très fort, dans le roc. Merci de ce monde que vous ne cessez d’entendre[étendre] à nos yeux, et la joie de cette suprême sécurité dans l’exécution. « Qui arrive à voir le tout de chaque détail voit tout de tout. » Je vous embrasse et dis tant de pensées pour Vera et Bob, Nadia B [P.-S.] J’étais à Rome dont le retard. � 1965 Abraham and Isaac Author: Nadia Boulanger Edmond de Stoutz Élégie pour J.
