Footnotes

1 This would eventually be published as "Konzertdirigenten" in Die Zukunft 7 (April 14, 1894), 88‒92. It is reprinted in Hellmut Federhofer, Heinrich Schenker als Essayist und Kritiker (Hildesheim: Georg Olms Verlag, 1990), pp. 75‒82.

2 The meaning of this sentence seems to be that omitting mention of Levi in the projected article is acceptable to Harden.

3 This seems to be another projected article that did not find its way into "Die Zukunft". Perhaps it became "Zur musikalischen Erziehung," ("On Musical Education") which appeared in Die Zeit 4/51‒52 (September 21 and 28, 1895), 185‒86, 200‒02, and is reprinted in Hellmut Federhofer, Heinrich Schenker als Essayist und Kritiker (Hildesheim: Georg Olms Verlag, 1990), pp. 154‒66.
