Footnotes

¹ Receipt of this letter is recorded in Schenker’s diary for November 6, 1930: “Von Deutsch (Br.): überläßt mir die Stunde vorzuschlagen; genügt es, an Dr. Rinn Korrekturbogen zu schicken?” (“From Deutsch (letter): he leaves it to me to decide the time; will it suffice to send proof sheets to Dr. Rinn?”).

² Schenker’s diary for October 28, 1930 records writing a letter to Deutsch (not surviving): “An Deutsch (Br.): lege über seinen Wunsch den Brief von Kestenberg zum zweitenmal bei; habe seine Winke wörtlich an Röder weitergegeben. Wie habe ich mich zu Rinn wegen eines Vorabdrucks zu verhalten, soll ich den Umbruch oder das Werk vorlegen? Ich bin bereit, allerlei Hobokeniana in die Bibliothek zurückzustellen, wann?” (“To Deutsch (letter): at his request, I enclose the letter from Kestenberg for the second time; I passed on his suggestions to Röder word for word. How should I deal with Rinn with regard to a pre-print copy: should I send the page proofs or the work [itself]? I am prepared to return all sorts of Hobokeniana to his library; when?).

³ It seems as if Schenker was hoping to have an extract of his “Eroica” analysis published in Der Kunstwart; he was in discussions about this with its editor, Hermann Rinn. The idea was not carried through, but Otto Vrieslander reviewed the third Meisterwerk yearbook for Rinn’s journal.

⁴ Letters written by Leo Kestenberg to Hans Weisse extolling Schenker’s theories and their value for musical practice (OJ 71/20, [1] and OJ 71/20, [2], July 15 and August 4, 1930).
