"The opera [W78] is going very well now.
I have just completed a scene which was a hard nut to crack -
a love scene [I:4] which had to advance the plot too -
and my solution for it makes me very happy.
I have also written the most decadent song of my career [I:6#3(?)] -
the most corrupt song of the age maybe;
deliberately mild and insinuating and poisonous. Very hot.
And I am grasping at the larger architecture the whole thing demands."

412 41-2 add: W107.6.1 letter 8/12/51 MB to Mina Curtiss:
"Jane Pickens did the death-scene from 'Regina' on television yesterday.
All in all, not bad; at least the music and the singing were correct.
But left to themselves, all Reginas, as Lillian [Hellman] once said,
seem to think the passion is on the house,
and they can be free to chew the scenery to tatters.
So Jane stared and grimaced into the camera, meaning and gasping every note,
totally without dignity, a harridan from Libretto-land, the realm you
picturesquely titled for me. Fadeout; fade-in, on the words
'And so, Bre'r Rabbit..' and we were off on Faye Emerson's next sequence."

414 34 add: W107.9.0a 3/8/53 MB to Mina Curtiss:
"Brenda [Lewis] will be superb; it is so great to have at last a Regina with humor!
She has everything else, too, in superabundance;
it is only necessary to trim her fury and energy....
I have tightened the detailed plotting,
re-instated the 'Blues,' 'Waltz,' and a hunk of the first act."

416 21-22 add: letter W107.9.2a 4/4/53 MB to Mina Curtiss on reviews:
W107 "has opened - we are a great success! The audience went quite wild;
stopped the performance four times, allowed its applause-interruption
to be stepped on by us ten times more (so that the continuity would not be destroyed).
Ovations and yells afterwards; I took three bows after the cast,
with Bobby [Lewis] and the director. Reviews are wonderful, superb....
Most of the notices [esp. W107.9.22 & W107.9.2.4] fell into the little trap I had laid
to save critics' faces; I let it be known beforehand that I had made certain 'revisions' -
and they fell over themselves saying how much better it isnow. The truth is
I have restored three sections, moved two tiny scenes into song that had been speech -
and that's literally all; no re-orchestration or radical change.
It is true that in the big City Center the orchestra sounds much discreeter and (curiously) richer...
The orchestra-men, mutinous and recalcitrant until the last minute,
discovered midway through the performance they were in a hit, and began to play well."

447 41 add: W108.0a MB's ltrs to Mina Curtiss:
7/12/51 "The crisis isn't musical at all; it's thematic."
Need to feel "comfortable that the plot-line, form, general line-from-beginning-to-end is secure....
I have done a mesmeric dope-scene (really, song [II:1#1(?)]...
it has been waiting for weeks, and practically wrote itself."
8/12/51 "Why the hell can't I have a collaborator at this point, whom I could beat up and persecute?
... the problem and the impasse (and the possible solution) are all dramatic, not musical."
8/24/51 Reuben "is for all the world like my nephew Kit, who shares a room with me,

459 10-11 add: W109.0 letter 12/15/50 MB to Mina Curtiss:
"I think I have done a fine score....
It sounds superb, but I wish they wouldn't curtain each cue, and cramp my style.
My music for the storm is considered a stroke of inspiration: a high keening sound,
melodic but tortured, in three instruments in octaves at once, with a trilled wood-block underneath,
and all surronding and curiously supporting the raging Lear."
