Not embarrassed at all by your telegraphic speed, for these last years, it has been our БЫТЪ [our habit]—our way of doing things, our method. Don’t worry about it! I was of course eager to have your statements. Happily I read as much in as between the lines of your letter. Selfish conclusion: Inconsolable as I am to have lost you here, at least I have the satisfaction to think of and take pleasure in the crucial importance of your presence over there. I am with you with all my heart, I Str. [P.S.] Good tour in all senses but . . . tiring. Have you finally heard the London broadcast of my new symphony which Nini and Milène heard a week after my broadcast from N.Y (Jan. 27*) This possibility is miraculous, isn’t it? Tell Nini and Françoise that I wish to receive photos of my ВНУКЪ (grandson), I beg of them. He is superb, ravishing, and so daring. I want to write him a letter. It’s so true! The other day I produced some records with Columbia that go on sale toward the end of the year. At Winnifred's house in Boston, I took from your library one of the two photostats of my piano concerto. One remains for you. Don't give me an earful over this, I really need it for next season because I plan on playing it again with Beveridge, this time with the C.B.S., i.e. the broadcast [orchestra]. � Stravinsky à Boulanger Hollywood La maison que vous connaissez par cœur 11 avril 1946 Nadia, chérie. Laissez-moi vous dire, ne serait-ce que pas les qq. mots, l’immense joie de vous lire enfin. Pas gêné du tout pars [sic] votre speed télégraphique, depuis ces dernières années, c’est bien notre БЫТЪ—façon d’être, notre mode. Allez-y ! J’étais surtout avide d’avoir vos statements. Heureusement je les ai lu [sic] autant dans qu’entre les lignes de votre lettre. Conclusion égoïste : Inconsolable que je suis de vous avoir perdue ici, il me reste au moins cette satisfaction, c’est de penser et de jouir de l’importance décisive de votre présence là-bas. De tout cœur je suis avec vous, I Str. [P.-S.] Bonne tournée dans tous les sens mais…fatigante. Avez-vous, pour finir, entendre la transmission de Londres de ma nouvelle symphonie que Nini et Milène ont entendre [sic] un [sic] semaine après mon broadcast de N-Y (Jan. 27)* ? Miraculeux cette possibilité, n’est-ce pas ? Dites à Nini et Françoise qu’un vœux [sic] de recevoir les photos de ВНУКЪ (petit fils) je prie. Il est superbe, ravissement [sic], tellement brave. J’ai envie de lui écrire une lettre. C’est tellement ça ! J’en ai fait le lendemain des records avec Columbia et se sera mis en vente vers la fin de l’année. A Boston, chez Winnifred, j’ai pris dans votre bibliothèque un des deux photostats de mon piano concerto. Il vous en reste un.

Strawinsky 1260 N. Wetherly Drive Hollywood 46 California January 27, 1946 At last, the first letter, and it is only a small note! Dear Igor, Dear Vera, not a day goes by without speaking of you, but, at first it was so cold that I refused to write . . . and then [refused to do] anything. I don’t know how to explain. Life is full of checking, looking, recognizing! Nevertheless, do I need to add that there isn’t a day without speaking of you, without listening to you, without waiting for you (in a manner of speaking). Went to see Jean after disembarking, so as to instantly tell you my first impressions, and I truly believed I was going to write to you that evening, on January 20!! How shameful. He is so beautiful, so strong and so imperious—no need to ask if he knows what he wants. But he is also so soft and gentle, happy—not a baby like any other, he is already himself, 100% Strawinsky. Sviétik and Françoise are beaming. Happy and so well adjusted! Sviétik works a lot, writing very clean, very clear, good music. Excellent spirits, finally, all is well. Their apartment is very nicely set up and would please you—the taste, the order, and the space. By all respects, things seem to be sorting themselves out! Sviétik has sound friends, and Françoise is perfect. I’d like to give you an idea of the situation here. I do not feel able to judge anything concerning politics. Everything is too fluid and complex. But the young people we talk to clearly fall into distinctive groups—spouting grand, vague, destructive theories. There is, as far as I can tell, a small number—[as opposed to the] majority, quite a clear majority—a sensible minority that sees things with a sense of order, loves what should be loved, fights for what is worth saving. Certain places haven’t changed. The same habits, the same gossip, the same jokes. Only the outfits have changed a bit, and yet everything is still so difficult. I saw Souvtchinsky, and he looked well. Met Cingria, how cultured, what finesse, and his manner of speaking, just striking. Missed Mavra the other evening . . . I didn’t know . . . ! I console myself in saying the performances were poor. But I cannot be consoled. You are well, as you ought to be, Dear Igor, the only one to whom the real youths attach themselves. But enough for today, you will be discouraged by these scribbles. Désormière will perform the symphony, what joy! �With all my heart, I love you both madly, NB � Boulanger aux Stravinskys 36 rue Ballu, 9ème , Paris Téléph : Trinité 90-17 Monsieur et Madame I. Strawinsky 1260 N. Wetherly Drive Hollywood 46 California 27 janvier 1946 Enfin, la première lettre, et ce n’est qu’un billet ! Cher Igor, Chère Vera, pas un jour passé sans vous parler, mais, d’abord il faisait si froid qu’écrire. Était…refus. Puis, tout. Je ne sais comment expliquer. La vie prise par revoir, regarder, reconnaître ! Dois-je ajouter que pourtant pas un jour sans vous parler, sans vous écouter, sans vous attendre en quelque sorte. Été au débarqué vois [sic] Jean, pour vous dire aussitôt mes impressions, et je croyais vraiment que j’allais vous écrire ce soir-là, vers le 20 janvier !! Quelle honte. Il est si beau, si fort, si impératif—pas besoin de se demander s’il saura ce qu’il veut. Mais aussi si doux et gentil, gai—et pas un bébé comme un autre, déjà lui, 100% un Strawinsky. Sviétik et Françoise béats d’admiration [sic]. Heureux et si bien accordés ! Sviétik travaillant beaucoup, écrivant de la musique très propre, très claire, bien. Etat d’esprit excellent, enfin, tout bien. Leur ap. jouissant arrangé, vous plairait—du gout, de l’ordre, et de l’espace. À tous égards, les choses semblent s’arranger ! Sviétik a des amis surscc [sic], et Françoise est parfaite. Voudrais vous donner une idée de la situation ici. Ne me sens pas en mesure de rien juger en ce qui concerne la politique. Tout est trop fluide et complexe. Mais les jeunes avec lesquels on parle tout nettement classes en—donnant dans de grandes théories vagues, destructives. C’est pour autant que j’en puisse juger, le petit nombre—une majorité, comme est la majorité sans grande douleur—un autre nombre bien dirigé, voyant les choses avec le sens des hiérarchies, aimant ce qu’il faut aimer, luttant pour ce qui vaut d’être sauvé. Certains milieux n’ayant pas bougé. Les mêmes tics, les mêmes potins, les mêmes plaisanteries. Seuls leurs habits ont un peu changé et encore, tout est encore si difficile. Vu Souvtchinsky, en forme. Rencontre Cingria, quelle culture, quelle finesse, et la parole dirée [sic], frappant juste. Manqée Mavra l’autre soir…n’ai pas su… ! Me console en laissant [sic] dire exécutions mauvaise [sic]. Mais ne me console pas. Vous êtes bien, comme il se doit Cher Igor, le seul auquel se rattachent les vrais jeunes. Mais assez pour aujourd’hui vous vous découragerez de ce [sic] gribouilles.

November 16, 1945 My very dear Nadia, Moved by your words, moved by your departure. I wonder, however, if this departure is truly permanent in view of the upheaval created by de Gaulle’s leaving. Have you heard Prokofieff's [sic] Symphony no. 5 (what are the other four that we have never heard)? Unfortunately, at the same time as the broadcast, I had my rehearsal for Babel, conducted by Werner Janssen—less helpless than the Dumbarton Oaks Concerto last year. I don't think that this indicates progress on his part, simply that the piece is less difficult to conduct They say that Koussevitzky is having Shostakovsky [sic] come from Russia in March and it’s also been said that Koussevitzky is retiring and giving up the baton at the beginning of the next season to Mitropoulos. Sounds so exciting, but is it true? Why do you bring up money (photostats of my Symphony). I can give you a gift, too—it's true, it's nothing big, all the more reason to—why talk about it. You owe me nothing save a few “love and kisses” in your next letter. (Pencil please—to erase) Your I Str. Who loves you, who loves you, who loves you. [P.S.] Received very kind words from Abbot Fortier (for the birth of little Jean)—don’t even have time to respond to him. Tell him how touched I was.

Je me demande cependant si ce départ est vraiment définitif vu le chambardement crée par le depart [sic] de De Gaulle. Avez-vous entende [sic] la Symphonie de Prokofieff No. 5 (quelles sont les autres 4 qu’on a [sic] jamais entendu ?). Malheureusement au moment du broadcast j’ai eu ma repetition [sic] de Babel conduite par Werner Janssen moins « helpless » que Dumbarton Oaks Concerto l’année dernière. Pense pas que cela signifie un progrès de sa part, simplement la pièce est moin [sic] difficile de conduire. On dit que Koussevitzky fait venir Shostakovsky [sic] de Russie en mars et on dit que Koussevitzky se retire et cède la baguette à partir de la saison prochaine à Mitropoulos. So exciting tout ça, mais est-ce vrai? Pourquoi me parlez-vous d’argent (photostates de ma Symphonie). Je peux aussi vous faire un cadeau—c’est vrai, ce n’est pas grand-chose, raison de plus—pourquoi en parler. Vous ne me devez rien sauf quelques « love and kisses » dans votre prochaine lettre.

And to not see you again is a heavy sorrow. I will try to have Sezna do the musical phrase for Igor—I am exhausted. Have lessons from morning till night, all the rehearsals, parts to correct, things to buy for France, etc., etc., etc. This is all to say that I pray to God not to collapse. It is very difficult, but that’s all right. I embrace you both with the tenderness you know. I am happy that I will soon see little Jean! This birth and all it represents is marvelous! Your Nadia � Boulanger à Vera Stravinsky 122 Bay State Road Boston, MA 7 novembre 1945 Quelle bonne lettre. Quelle charmante annonce. Que ne suis-je là! Que de sacrifices coûtent certains bonheurs. Chère Vera! Je ne saurais remettre mon départ, mais je suis triste aussi. Et ne pas vous revoir est un lourd chagrin. Je tâcherai de faire faire la phrase pour Igor par Seznec—je suis à bout de forces. Ai des journées de leçons du matin au soir, toutes les répétitions, le matériel à corriger, les affaires à acheter pour la France, etc. etc. etc. C'est-à-dire que je demande vraiment à Dieu de ne pas tomber. C’est très dur, Mais bien. Je vous embrasse tous deux avec La tendresse que vous savez. Que je suis heureuse de voir Bientôt le petit Jean! C’est ébloussant [sic] cette naissance qui implique tant de choses !

Tel. Kenmore 7277 15 Oct 1945 1) Thank you for Leyssac’s address, Dear Friend. 2) Thank you for your speed. 3) Have I told you that I found wool undergarments, a waistcoat, boots, and gloves for Milène and André, and baby clothes for Sviétik’s baby in Montreal? 4) At last, just found wool undergarments for Milène here. It was too early, they did not yet have them when I looked in Montreal. 5) Would you like to have a copy made (I ask you very timidly) of the orchestral score of the new symphony, movements I and II, of which I only have sketches? I cannot begin to write to you about this symphony. I feel ridiculous and insignificant, but . . . I believe that I know what it is. And I am very happy. 6) Have you taken my old car? If you do not need it or want it anymore—tell me. I’m glad that it has been useful to you, but doubtless you do not want it anymore 7) Will leave at the end of December. It is sad not to see you before, but I must go back. I will speak to you again about all this very soon. I think of you two all the time. You cannot imagine the sadness of not seeing you anymore. It was so wonderful . . . you are always with me, but . . . a bit of your real presence would do me good. To you, with all my heart, Nadia B. � Boulanger à Stravinsky 122 Bay State Road Boston, Mass. Tel. Kenmore 7277 15 oct 1945 1) Merci de l’adresse Leyssac, Cher Ami 2) Merci de la rapidité 3) Vous ai-je dit que j’ai trouvé à Montreal des sous-vêtements de laine, gilets, bottes, gants, pour Milène et André, de la layette pour le bébé de Sviétik 4) Viens de trouver enfin, ici, des culottes de laine pour Milène. C’était trop tôt, on ne les avait pas encore quand j’ai cherché à Montreal 5) Voulez-vous bien avoir faire, (Je le demande bien timidement) un ex. de la partition d’orchestre de nouvelle symphonie, [dont] I et II mt. desquels je n’ai que l’esquisse. Je ne peux commencer à vous écrire à propos de cette symphonie. Je me sens ridicule et pygmée, mais…Je crois que je sais bien de quoi il s’agit. Et je suis si heureuse. 6) Avez-vous pris ma vielle guimbarde ? Si vous n’en avez plus besoin ou envie—dites le moi. Il me plaisait qu’elle vous soit de quelque utilité, mais sans doute maintenant, n’en voulez-vous plus 7) Partirai fin décembre. C’est triste de ne pas vous voir, avant, mais il me faut rentrer. Vous reparlerai de tout cela très bientôt. Pense à vous deux sans cesse. Vous ne pouvez vous imaginer ce qu’est la tristesse de ne plus vous voir. C’était trop beau…Vous êtes toujours avec moi, mais…un peu de présence réelle ferait [du] bien.
