Footnotes

1 This became the article "Anton Rubinstein," which appeared in Die Zukunft 8 (August 18, 1894), 326‒29, and is reprinted in Hellmut Federhofer, Heinrich Schenker als Essayist und Kritiker (Hildesheim: Georg Olms Verlag, 1990), pp. 82–84.

2 Harden is hoping that either Brahms or Rosenthal or both will contribute something on Bülow to Die Zukunft, and he is using Schenker as a go-between (see OJ 11/42, [14]).
