My last post did not give a lot of information of what I was doing, so here we go again!
Soon after Pucinella, I moved to France. In Paris, I met the beautiful Vera. I loved Katerina, but my loved for Vera consumed me. Vera was also married, but left the man to be with me. My poor wife knew of this affair but knew she could not do anything.
However, France was probably one of the unhappiest places I have lived in. My wife had of tuberculosis which infected my dear Ludmila. She died, and then my Katerina died. Lastly, my own mother died in a hospital. After Katerina’s death, I tried to spend time with my family and Vera.
When World War II began, Vera and I moved to the United States. This is off topic, but the Great War is now called World War I because now we have World War II. Will this fighting never end?
I feel bad for cheating on my dead wife, but what was I to do? I was trapped by love. This reminds me of the time I had with Coco Chanel. I have never told anyone about this, so read well.
A while back before I moved to France, I was introduced to Coco by Sergei. She had offered to let me and my family stay with her. I had accepted. Our relationship was passionate, artistic, and inspiring. She created Chanel No. 5, and my compositions were more free and fresh. When she told me that she loved my ballet, The Rite of Spring, from the first time she saw it, I thought, who else could be as perfect for me than her?
I am not sure what broke our incredible relationship, but if it did not, I am positive I would not have fallen in love with Vera. But, because we somehow separated, I now love Vera.
I hope to become a naturalized citizen here like I was in France. California interests me greatly, especially Los Angeles. There are new things to see and learn. There is so much culture, I just have to move there soon.
Because I am in America, where one can began anew, this is my last post. I know I am going to be a great success here as I have been in Europe, and you will hear of me more often. I am going to be known for generations to come! Goodbye, farewell, and maybe we will see each other one day.
Sorry for the loss of your beloved wife. I agree with you on the World War, why did this occur so quickly and unexpectedly? I also hope that you will be successful in your relationship with Coco Chanel. Your music was inspiring and it has filled me with hope!
