Footnotes1 The name Schmiedel does not appear in the lists of officers of the company in Lehmann’s Wohnungs-Anzeiger for Vienna in 1907, 1908, or 1909. The Director in the 1908 list is given as Josef Stritzko. 2 There are no entries in Schenker’s diary for the month of May 1908. A meeting took place on June 25, 1908, with Universal Edition to discuss publication of the Instrumentations Tabelle, and Schenker produced a contract dated June 30 (OC 52/421). It is likely, therefore, that negotiations had begun a month or so earlier, and that this was a preliminary approach by Waldheim-Eberle, who had already done the printing work on the Table in 1905-06 and was anxious to be remunerated for their work (see the second paragraph of OJ 15/8, [5], September 24, 1906). |
