Footnotes

1 The music example must be from Schenker's monograph Beethovens neunte Sinfonie , currently in production at Breitkopf & Härtel's printing works, Leipzig. See WSLB 87, December 3, 1911, and subsequent exchange.

2 The typist of this letter is identified below the letterhead with the letter “N”. At the foot of the letter are three initiallizings: “f”, “K”, and “K”. Identities for these people are, of course, unknown. OC 52/68, December 1, is also initiallized by “K”, as is OC 52/73, December 20. The most common typist of letters to Schenker at this period is identified by the letter “R”.
