⇧ Bar 34 Isn’t the dot behind the Bę2 [dotted halfnote above staveline] missing after the note-head?
Bar 45 Where does the slur go after the F3? Should it be indicated?



⇧ Dear Professor, 1

Might I submit my bill for the graphs so far finished, because I am short of money and have to pay [illeg] on the 1st. I will deliver the Bach graphs on Friday. 2


With kind regards,
[signed:] G. Tomay

1 Fünf Urlinie-Tafeln , Chopin Etude Op. 10, No. 12 in C minor, sheet II/III. Receipt of this letter is not recorded in Schenker’s diary.

2 Evidently further work continued on the graphs, e.g. Schenker’s diary for May 13 records: “Nach der Jause Korrekturen an op. 10VIII. — Tomay holt alles ab.” (“After teatime, corrections to Op. 10, No 8. — Tomay collects everything.”), and May 18: “Tomay sen. bringt op. 10VIII.” (“Tomay senior brings Op. 10, No. 8.”).

3 Schenker’s diary for May 4, 1932 records: “Tomay jun. bringt 10XII Mittelblatt u. fordert u. erhält S. 88.” (“Tomay junior brings the middle leaf of Op. 10, No. 12; asks for, and receives 88 shillings.”).
