Footnotes

1 Receipt of this letter is recorded in Schenker's diary at OJ 3/9, p. 3019, December 29, 1926: "Von der U.-E. (Br.): kündigt die Ueberweisung an Mozio an: 2500 Schillinge; der Ausweis über die Theorien fehlt noch." ("From UE (letter): announces the money transfer to Mozio: 2,500 shillings; the reckoning for the theory books is still missing").

2 The letter of agreement for the cessation of Der Tonwille, dated December 10, 1925, following the meeting on December 9, does not appear to survive. It provided for four annual installments of 1,250 shillings for Der Tonwille, plus ongoing annual installments of 1,250 shillings for the collected edition of the Beethoven sonatas. For a fuller account of the circumstances surrounding this negotiated settlement, see Ian Bent and William Drabkin, "General Preface," Der Tonwille: Pamphlets/Quarterly Publication ..., vol. II (New York: Oxford University Press, 2005), pp. v‒xii.
