On April 16, 1971, my 18-year-old self had my first lesson with the 84-year-old Nadia Boulanger.
Midway through the lesson, her butler entered the room and whispered something to her. With tears in her eyes, she told me that her dearest friend, Igor Stravinsky, had just died. I tried to excuse myself, but she insisted on finishing the lesson and then she went into mourning.
Many months later, after proving my abilities to part-write the Vidal basses and having told her of my great love for this work, I arrived at the lesson with the full score propped up on the piano. In 90 minutes, she taught me a lot about this great masterpiece!
