Footnotes

1 This is probably another phrase from a piece of music – unidentified – quoted on the verso of the calling card OJ 6/3, [3], May 22, 1897. Its placement here on the line that would normally contain the designation “Komponist” (“Composer”) or “Tonkünstler” (“Musician”) suggests that the composer was Violin himself.
