Footnotes1 Receipt of this letter is not recorded in Schenker's diary. The document number adopted here is that assigned in Charlotte E. Erwin and Bryan R. Simms, "Schoenberg's Correspondence with Heinrich Schenker," Journal of the Arnold Schoenberg Institute v (1981), 23–43. The document from which this edition was made is a photocopy; the whereabouts of the original is not known. An annotation at the foot of the photocopy in another hand (that of Oswald Jonas?) reads "[ca. 30 Sept 1903?[ [unsigned follows on #5 29. 9. 1903]", and it is on the basis of this that the editorial dating is made. 2 Of Schenker's Syrische Tänze for piano four hands, orchestrated by Schoenberg. 3 "/.": unclear: perhaps intended as an abbreviated signature: "S."; or perhaps an indication to turn the sheet over. |
