Footnotes1 Writing of this postcard is recorded in Schenker's diary at OJ 3/4, p. 2491, January 21, 1923: "An Hans Guttmann, Hammer, Floriz, Vrieslander (K.): kündige das 3. Heft an." ("To Hans Guttmann, Hammer, Floriz, Vrieslander (postcards): I announce the third issue."). 2 Albert J. Gutmann was the distributer of Der Tonwille. 3 Der Tonwille, Heft 3, appeared on January 19, 1923, delayed by a dispute with Emil Hertzka over the contents of the "Miscellanea" section (most of it held over from Heft 2). 4 Schenker visited Hammer in his studio on May 31, 1922; see Hammer's letter of May 29, 1922 (OJ 11/36, [6]), Schenker's reply of May 30 (JOB 94-3, [3]), and Hammer's postcard of the same date (OJ 11/36, [7]). 5 Hammer's monograph, referred to as his "Schrift," is mentioned frequently in his correspondence with Schenker; its relation to any of Hammer's published writings is unknown. |
