Footnotes
1 Writing this letter is not recorded in Schenker's diary. For Cotta's
response, see OJ 12/27,
[3].
2 D'Albert intervened after Cotta had
initially declined Schenker's proposal of the book (CA 1–2, November 8, 1905; OJ 9/31, [1], November 9), and brought about their reversed
decision (OJ 9/31, [2], November
14; OJ 9/31, [3], November
15.)
3 The letter survives as OJ 9/6, [46], December 15, 1906, the postscript of
which reads: "Wann erscheint Ihr Buch? Adresse bis März wie oben. 3‒18 Februar in Wien."
("When will your book be out? [My] address until March as above. February 3‒18 in
Vienna.").
4 "Exemplar" ("copy"): in its response,
OJ 12/27, [3], Cotta agrees
to send d'Albert a "Freiexemplar" ("free copy" or "complimentary copy").
5 The Grand Hotel Bellevue was located at Potsdamer Platz.
