Footnotes1 Receipt of this postcard is recorded in Schenker’s diary for May 30, 1933: “Von Deutsch (K.): ein Exemplar der Nationalzeitung mit meinem Aufsatz.” (“From Deutsch (postcard): a copy of the National-Zeitung with my essay.”). 2 The National Socialists closed the paper for a short time in 1933, apparently on account of an article that enraged Adolf Hitler. 3 Deutsch is jokingly referring to Schenker’s article "Was wird aus der Musik?," which was published in the Deutsche Allgemeine Zeitung on April 28, before the ban was issued. 4 Possibly Furtwängler’s recent address on Brahms, given in Vienna on May 16 and published twelve days later in the Neue Freie Presse . |
