Saw your Father in Berlin. His new work is moving was very beautiful—he himself is full of ideas, of conviction, but it’s sad that his physical state weighs so heavily on him. I was so happy to have spent those few hours with him. His joy about the new house is extraordinary. [He has] the enthusiasm of someone whose future lies before him, yet . . . He knows, but he acts, lives, and feels with a heightened acuity, as if he has nothing more to lose. A very beautiful courage and inner strength. You have told me nothing about Kitty, are you also preoccupied? How I think of you both, of your Mother, of Mika, on the 28th! All my love, Nadia. � * * * Boulanger à Théodore Strawinsky 24 novembre 1964 Cher Théodore, Merci de votre pensée, elle m’est douce à un moment très douloureux.

Vu votre Père à Berlin, nouvelle œuvre émouvante très belle, lui, plein d’idées, de conviction, mais triste son état physique lui pèse tant. Quel bonheur d’avoir passé ces quelques heures avec lui, sa joie de la nouvelle maison est extraordinaire, l’ardeur d’un être qui a l’avenir devant lui, et pourtant…Il sait, mais il agit, vit, et sent avec une acuité accrue, semble-t-il ne plus rien perdre.

Words are pointless, we know what lives in our hearts, protected by silence. I’ve returned—from Monaco—days of intense sadness, and yet so luminous. I knew Pierre of Monaco very well and loved him a great deal. Everything he left behind will help us live despite what he takes with him.

The Foundation held on so tightly to the hope that this project would be realized, the only one that appeared to me as the most beautiful, most appropriate [one], so everything is under consideration again.

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.)

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.

Mais que dis-je, s’il vaut mieux pour vous de renoncer à ce voyage, il n’y faut plus songer, cela va sans dire. Tout de même, je parie encore que vous serez à Berlin fin septembre. Je n’y viens que pour vous, à vrai dire. Mille pensées pour Bob, pour Véra, à vous, toute ma tendresse de toujours, je vous embrasse.

Boulanger 36 rue Ballu, Paris 9th July 30, 1964 My very dear Nadia, Thank you for your affectionate letter—don't worry about me: I am doing very well and I think Nabokov misinformed you: a month ago in London I had an ear infection and the doctors advised me not to fly too often, which is why I was thinking of canceling my concerts in Israel and in Berlin (end of August-September). But having learned that Israel was basing its entire season on my appearances and that they were already sold out (charity [events for] clinics, hospitals) I decided to fly there, but not to Berlin. A desolate Nabokov telephoned me from Paris asking me to come to Berlin as well. With great regret, I refused, not wanting to risk this flight as well. That's all. Certainly hundreds of letters and telegrams have arrived from everywhere wishing me a swift recovery and it is certainly more than doubtful that the newspapers are correcting these false declarations since these latest ones don’t constitute the sensation that they are looking for [so as] to sell [issues]. After Israel (a concert in Jerusalem and two in Caesarea) two days in Rome (end of August) two days in New York and then Hollywood where we have bought and are renovating, furnishing, and organizing the late Catherine d’Erlanger’s house for us to live in. We will put Bob Craft in the old house (who is conducting Lulu in Santa Fe these days and will meet up with us in New York to fly to Israel). Thank you again for having written to me—am very touched. Your I Str. � * * * Stravinsky à Boulanger 1260 North Wetherly Drive Hollywood 69, California Miss N. Boulanger 36 rue Ballu, Paris 9 30 juillet 1964 Nadia, tres chere, Merci de affectionate [sic] lettre—n’y ayez aucune crainte a mon sujet : je vais tres bien et je pense que Nabokov vous avait mal renseigne : il y a un mois a Londres j’avais une infection a l’oreil [sic] et les docteurs m’ont conseille de ne pas voler trop souvent, c’est pourquoi je pensais bien faire de renoncer a mes concerts d’Israel et de Berlin (fin Aout Septembre). Mais ayant appris que Israel fondait toute sa saison sur mes apparitions et qu’on avait déjà tout vendu (bienfaisance—cliniques, hopiteaux[sic]) j’ai decide d’y voler, mais pas a Berlin. Nabokov desole me telephonne de Paris me suppliant de venir a Berlin aussi. Avec beaucoup de regret j’ai refuse ne voulant pas risquer avec ce vol en plus. C’est tout. Certainement des centaines de lettres et telegrammes de partout me souhaitant promt retablissement et certainement plus que douteux que les journeaux corrigent ces fausses declarations puisque ces dernieres ne constituent pas une sensation qu’il[s] cherchent a vendre. D’Israel (un concert a Jerusalem et deux a Cesaria) deux jours a Rome (fin aout) deux jours a New York et puis Hollywood ou nous avons achete la maison de la feue Catherine d’Erlanger qu’on reconstruit, meuble et arrange pour y habiter. Dans la vieil [sic] maison on placera Bob Craft (qui dirige ces jours-ci Lulu a Santa Fe et qui nous rejoindra a New York pour voler en Israel). Encore merci de m’avoir ecrit—suis tres touche.
