I will be in Milan until September 3 (c/o Scala or Hotel Duomo) Following that, Venice (c/o Biennale or Hotel Bauer-Grunwald) The premiere I’m conducting is on September 8; afterward two other performances, the 10th and the 12th, under an unknown director, probably someone from [La] Scala (I have recommended Markevitch, but it appears that will not work out). After the shows I will probably make recordings of [The] Rake, but where? . . . (Venice or Milan) . . . and when exactly? . . . I have no idea. Afterward I have a pair of concerts in Milan at the Scala on the 27th and 28th of September. Then October 8: Cologne (Oedipus Rex); October 14: Baden-Baden; October 21: Munich (the new Oedipus Rex with Cocteau) I must reboard the SS Constitution in Genoa or Naples the 29th or 30th of October to come back to New York for November 7.

At the request of Time magazine, I wrote these few lines included below: “That Serge Koussevitzky was a great celebrity, everybody knows; but that many careers were created by his generosity, very few know. When a man passes away those wishing to pay tribute to his memory recollect his good deeds, the things he did most ostensibly. Let us dwell today on those things that Serge Koussevitzky did for others without telling anyone about it. And for these secret things let him be rewarded manifestly.” I think my homage, limited to what is true, is in this way more sincere than many of the others that are being published right now. What is this pessimistic news that you’re only partially sharing with me? You seem to know more in France about the Italian premiere of The Rake than I do here. As for myself, I have a solid contract in my pocket with the Biennale and I will be in Italy on the scheduled dates (mid- August) to perform it. A couple of days ago I learned officially that La Scala has agreed with the Biennale to mount the Venetian production. But I have no other details; these Italians don’t seem to like to write. Therefore, I would like to know more about this from you if—as your letter left me to assume—you are collecting information from various sources. Who is saying what??? In Italy or elsewhere about my Rake??? . . . Don't leave me in the dark. Vera and I send you our great affection, I Str. � Stravinsky à Boulanger 1260 North Wetherly Drive Hollywood 46, California Mademoiselle Nadia Boulanger 36 rue Ballu Paris 9eme (FRANCE) 13 juin 1951 Chere [sic] Nadia, Vos lignes m’ont beaucoup touche; nous avons tous ete egalement atteints par la disparation si rapide et presqu’inattendue [sic] de Koussevitzky. J’ai ecrit—a la demande de Time magazine, les quelques lignes ci-dessous: “That Serge Koussevitzky was a great celebrity, everybody knows; but that many careers were created by his generosity, very few know. “When a man passes away those wishing to pay tribute to his memory recollect his good deeds, the things he did most ostensibly. “Let us dwell today on those things that Serge Koussevitzky did for others without telling anyone about it. And for these secret things let him be rewarded manifestly.” Je pense que mon hommage, limite a ce qui est vrai, est ainsi plus sincere que beaucoup de ceux qui sont publies a cette heure. Quelles sont ces nouvelles pessimistes dont vous me transmettez seulement quelques echos? Vous avez l’air d’en savoir en France plus que je n’en sais moi-meme ici, en ce qui concerne la premiere italienne du Rake. Pour ma part j’ai un solide contrat dans ma poche avec la Biennale et je me rendrai en Italie aux dates prevues (mi-Aout [sic]) pour l’executer. J’ai appris officieusement il y a quelques jours que la Scala se serait entendue avec la Biennale pour mettre sur pied la production venitienne. Mais je n’ai pas d’autres details; ces Italiens semblent ne pas aimer ecrire. Aussi aimerais-je en savoir plus long par vous si—comme votre lettre me le laisse supposer—vous recoltez des informations de sources variées. Qui dit quoi??? en Italie ou ailleurs au sujet de mon Rake???... Ne me laissez pas dans l’incertitude. Vera et moi vous embrassons bien affectueusement.— - I Str. � 1951 Author: Igor Stravinsky Igor Location: California Nadia Location: 36 rue Ballu Recipient: Nadia Boulanger Sergei Koussevitzky The Rake's Progress
