Sehr geehrter Herr Doktor, 1

Unsere Wiener Abteilung schickt uns Ihren freundlichen Brief vom 10.d.M., 2 in dem Sie Ihrer Verweunderung [sic] Ausdruck geben, dass wir den Vrieslander’schen Artikel im Oktoberheft der "Musik" nicht zu einem Inserat benützt haben. Wir halten es für besser, im Dezemberheft zu inserieren, das Ende November herauskommt; in diesem werden Sie eine entsprechende Anzeige finden. 3 Leider lässt der Absatz des Buches sehr zu wünschen übrig.


Mit besten Empfehlungen

Dear Dr. [Schenker] , 1

Our Vienna branch has forwarded to us your kind letter of the 10th of the month, 2 in which you express your surprise that we have not used Vrieslander’s article in the October issue of Die Musik as an occasion to place an advertisement there. We think it makes more sense to advertise in the December issue, which is publishsed at the end of November; in this issue, you will find an appropriate announcement. 3 Unfortunately, the sales of the book leave much to be desired.


With kind regards,
