Footnotes1 Writing of this postcard is recorded in Schenker's diary at OJ 4/4, p. 3581, December 5, 1930: "An v. Cube (K.): Adresse u. Daten." ("To von Cube (postcard): address and dates."). 2 In his letter, OJ 9/34, [22], November 22, 1930, Cube had asked Schenker whether he might be given an official invitation to Weisse's lecture in Berlin, probably for the purpose of being granted leave from the Conservatory in Duisburg. |
