I cannot write to you, nor write about your music, because crushing humility overwhelms me and my ridiculous attempt, but I know with unmistakable certainty that I love and understand it as it must be, as it is. What pretension! I know . . . but this is the pretension I have, and every day I thank God for having given me the dignity to measure my weakness, and furthermore the privilege to know what it is. THANK YOU This is a “flippant” letter from a certain point of view, and absurd. This comes from being taught to question and abolish all distance and to assume all liberties. But it’s a child who’s writing it, and undoubtedly there is more [to this] than it seems, but . . . poor little one! And a few stamps to settle the debt. Having stolen $4.36 of the $7.50 from you, I therefore steal from you $0.72 from $15.00, and so as to not alert the police, here is what will spare me further complications. With heartfelt affection, Nadia B � Boulanger à Stravinsky Featherhill Ranch Montecito Santa Barbara, California 4 mars 1944 Cher Igor, Quel Bonheur d’avoir la Sonate—comme je l’aime, comme elle s’équilibre, et comme elle a raison. Ne peux pas vous écrire, ni écrire à propos de votre musique—car alors l’humilité devient écrasante, et la tentative ridicule, mais je sais avec cette certitude qui ne trompe pas que je l’aime et l’entends comme il faut, comme elle est. Quelle prétention ! Je sais…mais cette prétention là je l’ai, et tous les jours je remercie Dieu pour m’avoir donné la dignité de mesurer ma faiblesse, et pourtant le privilège de savoir ce qui est. MERCI La lettre est « flippante » d’un certain point de vue, et absurde, cela résulte de l’éducation donnée, questionner, abolir toutes les distances, et s’arroger toutes les libertés. Mais c’est un enfant qui l’écrit, et sans doute y a-t-il là plus que l’on ne croit, mais…pauvre petit ! Et quelques timbres, pour faire de bons comptes. Vous ayant volé 4.36 sur 7.50.
