If Röder, as we hope, receives the music that is ready for press by this morning – which is absolutely necessary for the reading of the revision – then, as they say, they will be able to prepare the first copies [in time]. We still await the exact address [of where the lecture will be given] from you. 3 © Translation William Drabkin, 2023 |

Footnotes1 Receipt of this postcard is recorded in Schenker’s diary for December 2, 1930: “Vom Verlag (K.): werde zum 9. Erscheinen.” (“From the publishers (postcard): [the Yearbook] will be published by the 9th.”) 2 Schenker’s diary records a postcard to the publishers to say that Hans Weisse would be giving his lecture on the 9th of December, and again on the 10th. 3 On November 30, Schenker received a postcard (OJ 15/15, [50]) from Hans Weisse with the address of the Central Institute for Music Pedagogy in Berlin, where his lecture was to be given. |
