⇧ Dear Dr. [Schenker],

Sincere thanks and greetings to you and Gelber. 1

If you like, it would probably be good if you would kindly add something on the proof 2 about Bülow.

In addition, please, a thorough review; not everything was clear to me.


Most cordially,

Footnotes

1 Probably the scholar of German language and literature, Adolph Gelber (1856‒1923).

2 These are probably the proofs for "Konzertdirigenten," which appeared in Die Zukunft 7 (April 14, 1894), 88‒92, and is reprinted in Hellmut Federhofer, Heinrich Schenker als Essayist und Kritiker (Hildesheim: Georg Olms Verlag, 1990), pp. 75–82. There is a lengthy section of the article devoted to Bülow.
