Footnotes1 Receipt of this postcard is recorded in Schenker’s diary for October 4, 1930: “Von Deutsch (K.): Nottebohms Mitteilung beruhte auf einen Irrtum.” (“from Deutsch (postcard): Nottebohm’s communication was based on an error.”). 2 In his diary entry of September 26, Schenker recorded sending a postcard (not surviving) to Deutsch, asking him to make enquiries in Kremsier. 3 In the 1870s, Gustav Nottebohm received a note suggesting – erroneously – that there were authentic performance materials for the “Eroica” Symphony in Olmütz (Olomouc, Czech Republic). |
