Footnotes

1 Receipt of this letter is recorded in Schenker's diary at OJ 3/1, p. 2229, April 24, 1920: "Von Dr. Friedmann (Br.): bittet mich zu sich, um weitwendige Schreibereien zu ersparen." ("From Dr. Friedmann (letter): asks me to come by to avoid lengthy correspondence.").

2 Schenker’s letter of April 22 is unknown, but it may well constitute either the approach suggested by Türkel in his OC 16/41v–42v, April 6, 1920 or a subsequent iteration of that approach.
