I, who love you more all the time. Dear, Dear Igor. It is true that there are obvious reasons for this crescendo and this fading. But . . . I don’t like to admit to them. It’s also true that I hardly write you. It’s because I don’t see how my letters could amuse you, let alone please you. I content myself therefore with playing your music constantly and conversing with you, no, hearing you. What endless joy this renewal. What complete satisfaction the score to Orpheus is. I am sending you the program from Bryanston. You cannot imagine what took place there. These people, coming from all parts of society, have arrived, the nicest of them believing themselves incapable of understanding you. And day after day, I have seen their faces light up. They knew that they could not penetrate everything, but they loved your music— and were so happy. These young men—criticism terrified them, but you conquered them. I believe that you would have felt such joy in seeing their attention and their discovery. Thank you for the armoire. Can you understand the childish yet contemplative pleasure I take in organizing your music in it. You will never know. I have found only one copy of the Couperin which, I’m sorry, I could not acquire for the requested price. But I will find it, and you will have it. How sad it is to no longer have Nini, Françoise, and the little one here. It was so nice, but I do understand that Nini wasn’t able to allow himself to be far from you any longer, as he had been! “And you,” you would say? “All these beautiful lines and you let me down?” I know, and I tally all that I lose. But I have my work here, and obligations, and then . . . but no lyricism. I would give I don’t know what to see Vera and you, to live close to your future music as well as with your music that sheds light both on the present and the past. Because, thanks to you, I understand better. We all understand better, the sound and real meaning of music. I’ve just finished Fontainebleau, am dead, literally dead, but still have a small glimmer of consciousness to tell you how much I love you. To you all with all my heart, NB [P.S.] Thank you to Françoise and Nini for their letter. � Boulanger à Stravinsky 36 rue Ballu, Paris IX Trinité 90-17 29 août 1948 Alors…vous ne m’aimez plus ! Moi qui vous aime tous les jours mieux. Cher Cher Igor. Il est vrai, qu’il y a des raisons évidentes de ce crescendo et de cet évanouissement. Mais…je n’aime pas à me les avouer. Il est vrai aussi que je ne vous écris guère. C’est que je ne vois pas en quoi mes lettres pourraient vous distraire sinon vous plaire. Je me contente donc de jouer sans cesse votre musique et d’échanger avec vous, non, de vous entendre. Quelle joie sans cesse [cette] renouvelée. Quelle satisfaction complete [sic] que la partition d’Orpheus. Je vous envoie le programme de Bryanston. Vous ne pouvez pas imaginer ce qui s’est passé là. Ces gens, venus de toutes les parts de la société, sont arrivés, les plus sympathiques, se croyant incapables de vous comprendre. Et jour après jour, j’ai vu leur visage s’épanouir. Ils savaient qu’ils ne pouvaient tous pénétrer, mais ils avaient aimé votre musique –et étaient si heureux. Ces messieurs, les critiques les avaient épouvantés, vous les avez conquis. Je crois que vous auriez eu de la joie à voir leur attention, et leur découverte. Merci de l’armoire. Pouvez-vous comprendre le plaisir enfantin et réfléchir[sic] que j’ai à y ranger votre musique à m’en servir. Vous ne le saurez jamais. Je n’ai encore trouvé qu’un exemplaire du Couperin que, pardon, je ne pouvais pas acquérir au prix demandé, mais il viendra, vous l’aurez. Que c’est triste de ne plus avoir Nini, Françoise et le petit. C’était si gentil, mais je comprends bien que Nini n’ait [sic] pas pu se priver plus longtemps d’être près de vous, comme il a bien fait ! « Et vous, » me direz-vous ? « Toutes ces belles phrases et vous me laissez tomber ? » Je sais, et je mesure tout ce que je perds. Mais j’ai mon travail ici, et des obligations, et puis…mais pas de lyrisme. Je donnerais je ne sais quoi pour vous voir, Véra et vous, pour vivre près de votre musique à venir autant qu’avec celle qui éclaire autant le présent que le passé. Car, grâce à vous, j’entends mieux. Nous entendons tous mieux, le son, et le vrai sens de la musique. Viens de finir Fontainebleau, suis morte, littéralement morte, mais ai encore une lueur de conscience pour vous dire combien je vous aime. À vous tous de tous cœur, NB Merci à Françoise et à Nini pr. leur lettre. � 1948 Author: Nadia Boulanger Bryanston Summer School François Couperin Françoise Stravinsky Nadia Location: 36 rue Ballu Nini Orpheus Recipient: Igor Stravinsky Soulima Stravinsky Vera Stravinsky https://digex.lib.uoguelph.ca/files/original/602cf85e0a60892e0e1007f3002839fa.pdf f6c12e842c161e824b76cfd8ca802a41 https://digex.lib.uoguelph.ca/files/original/b8d27860f0af8176b11fa77d79746cda.pdf 329eeb00bd349e765996a9c2be2a6077 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Can you [imagine], have I ever let you know that everything that touches you is so close to me that I believe I participate in it too? I never write to you [because] my letters are always so hurried, of so little interest. But I never leave you, and I am much closer to you today than ever!! I imagine you must be crazy about Zizi, and I hope that Françoise’s presence and kindness, and that seeing her again with your son, are such a happiness for you, that they help you to bear the sadness that befalls your friend and takes away from you such a close friend. I’m writing you again these days to thank you for the armoire. I am so happy to have it—and to speak to you about Orpheus. The orchestra sounds so unimaginably beautiful. The music is . . . Well, this is why I don’t write you. I feel unworthy of speaking when I know only too well how to keep quiet. Nevertheless, I know that not a note escapes me, and that I hear you!

J’imagine le désarroi, la détresse de ces jours où une si grande joie coïncidait avec le malheur. Pouvez-vous, vous ai-je jamais donné de savoir que tout ce qui vous touche, m’est si proche que je crois y participer ? Je ne vous écris jamais[,] mes lettres sont si hâtives, de si peu d’intérêt. Mais je ne vous quitte jamais et suis aujourd’hui bien plus près que jamais !! Vous êtes fou de Zizi, je le devine, et j’espère que la présence, que la gentillesse de Françoise et la revoir avec votre fils vous sont un si grand bonheur, qu’ils vous aident à supporter le malheur qui frappe votre ami et vous enlève une amie si intime.

Everything is such a source of astonishment, joy, and amazement in this Orpheus. The more I understand you, the less I dare say it to you. How [can I] judge myself worthy of speaking about something you dominate so much. Yet, from the first to the last notes I believe I heard everything. We play Orpheus from morning until night, and without a doubt in a few days you will have put more than one young musician back on the right path. You don’t know how they wait for you. They immerse themselves in your music with a sort of greed. They come from far away and begin to understand the influences they have escaped. I would like to proceed measure by measure and tell you all of my little notes: such an arrangement, such harmony, such connection—and to not seem ridiculous to you, show you for yourself all of the beauty, all of what touches us in your score, every time . . . [but] enough, it must bore you to death. I embrace you, thank you, and am crazy with joy at the thought of seeing you again. You know that I once again see all of the pleasant and the weighty hours with you and you never leave my thoughts. How I await your arrival. It is an indescribable impatience. To Vera, Milène, to André, and to you wholeheartedly, Nadia P.S. Would you please tell me what I owe you for the score? I would be too embarrassed if I didn’t pay for it. Thank you again. � Boulanger à Stravinsky 36 rue Ballu 5 juin 1948 Vous ne pouvez pas savoir, Cher Igor, la joie que me cause votre envoi. Tout est une telle source d’étonnement, de joie et d’émerveillement dans cet Orpheus. Plus je vous comprends, moins j’ose vous le dire, comment se juger digne de parler de ce qu[e] vous dominez ainsi. Pourtant dès les premières notes jusqu’aux dernières je crois avoir tout entendu. Nous jouons Orpheus du matin au soir, et sans doute aurez-vous en quelques jours remis dans la bonne direction plus d’un jeune musicien. Vous ne savez pas comment ils vous attendent. Ils se plongent dans votre musique avec une sorte d’avidité, ils le[sic] viennent de loin et commencent à comprendre [à] quelles influences ils ont échappé. Je voudrais aller mesure par mesure et vous dire toutes mes petites remarques : telle disposition, tel accord, tel rapport—et quitte à vous sembler ridicule, vous montrer à vous-même toutes les beautés, tout ce qui nous touche dans votre partition, chaque fois…assez, tu es assommante. Je vous embrasse, vous remercie et suis folle de joie à la pensée de vous revoir. Vous savez que je revis avec vous toutes les heures douces et lourdes et que ma pensée ne vous quitte jamais. Comment attendre votre arrivée. C’est une impatience indescriptible. A Vera, à Milène, à André, et à vous du meilleur de mon cœur, Nadia P.S.

Wetherly Drive Hollywood, California U.S.A. May 5, 1947 Dear, Dear Friend, my silence weighs on me a million times more than it is worth. Thinking of you constantly and never telling you, what an aberration! It’s true that you hold such a place in everyday life, that sometimes I seem to have written you everything that is said about you here! Sorry for not having sent you the paperwork yet, but I have been to the embassy three times and waited an hour, and had to give up. I will try on Wednesday. It has to be done in person, and there is [always] a crowd. It is not my fault. Your decision was a deep disappointment—and an immense relief—to me. We would have killed you! But it’s too bad. For you, it’s something irrevocable. For the young people, it’s catastrophic. All that they hear is done to make them stray from the right path. Nothing can guide them. And they awaited you so greedily. Thank you for the Ode. I am so happy to reread this score, which I love so much—where everything is so right, so beautiful. I beg of you, on my knees, [to send] the Kyrie. I only have the Gloria! Thank you. Jean Françaix and I played Bach and Strawinsky in Tours, and even in this tiny, old provincial village it’s taking hold! On the 17th, we are doing it again in Roubaix and then at the Cité Universitaire for the students. Svétik has recently made stunning progress. His tour of Italy is a real success. The little one is adorable and already someone. You will be crazy about him. So happy that Milène and André are finally near to you. With her serious, peaceful and intense face, little Kitty is a child who does not resemble other children her own age. I could talk with you about her for hours. Her happiness at being with Théodore and Denise [is apparent]. Take Vera in your arms and kiss her for me. My God, how I miss the marvelous time when we looked at each other so seriously. I believe that you and I no longer love [word missing?] and that puts the world between us. Love to both of you, NB [P.S.] Thank you for the program from Washington. What memories! � Boulanger to Stravinsky 36 rue Ballu Paris IX Monsieur Igor Strawinsky 1260 N. Wetherly Drive Hollywood, California E.U.A. 5 mai 1947 Cher, Cher Ami, mon silence me pèse mille fois qu’il ne vaut. Penser à vous sans cesse, ne jamais vous dire—quelle aberration ! Il est vrai que vous tenez une telle place dans la vie de chaque jour que je me figure parfois vous avoir écrit tout ce qui se dit ici, de vous ! Pardon de ne pas encore vous avoir envoyé le papier, mais 3 fois j’ai été à l’Ambassade ai attendu une heure, et ai du renoncer. J’essaierai mercredi. Il faut faire cela en personne, et il y a toute. Ce n’est pas ma faute. Votre décision m’a causé une profonde déception, et un immense soulagement. Nous vous aurions tué ! Mais quel dommage. Pour vous quelque chose d’irréparable. Pour les jeunes, catastrophique. Tout ce qu’ils entendent est fait pour leur faire perdre la bonne route. Rien ne peut les diriger. Et ils vous attendaient avec une telle avidité. Merci pour l’Ode. Je suis si heureuse de relire cette partition que j’aime tant. Où tout est si juste, et si beau. Je vous en supplie à deux genoux : le Kyrie. Je n’ai que le Gloria ! Merci. Avons joué à Tours, Jean Françaix et moi, Bach, Strawinsky, même dans cette vieille ville province, cela mord ! Recommençons à Roubaix le 17 puis à la Cité Universitaire pour les étudiants. Sviétik a fait récemment des progrès étonnants. Sa tournée en Italie est un vrai succès. Le petit est adorable et déjà quelqu’un. Vous en seriez fou. Bien heureuse que Milène et André soient enfin près de vous. La petite Kitty avec son visage sérieux, paisible et ardent, est une enfant qui ne ressemble pas aux enfants de son âge. Pourrais vous parler d’elle pendant des heures. Son bonheur d’être avec Théodore et Denise. Prenez Véra dans vos bras et embrassez-la pour moi. Mon Dieu que je regrette ce merveilleux temps où nous nous voyions si sérieux. Je crois que nous n’aimons plus à partir, vous ni moi, et cela fait le monde entre nous. Vous embrasse tous deux de tout cœur NB P.-S. Merci pour le programme de Washington.
