Footnotes1 Transcribed, slightly shortened and with some variants, in Federhofer, Heinrich Schenker: Nach Tagebüchern ... (1985), 14–15. 2 It is not clear whether Mach is referring to a lecture or to an article by Schenker, which the latter had possibly sent to him. As Federhofer suggests ((1985), pp. 12, 15, a reference to a lecture in the Philosophical Society of the University of Vienna, where Schenker spoke about his article "Der Geist der musikalischen Technik," is conceivable. |
