Footnotes

1 Receipt of this letter is not recorded in Schenker’s diary.

2 Szalit is sending Schenker “Karten“ (plural), and yet this cannot be dated after Jeanette Kornfeld joined Schenker in Vienna in the Fall of 1910, since Szalit’s concert career collapsed in 1906 after she joined the faculty of the Lemberg Conservatory.
