I forgot to say that to you at lunch, although I have been turning the thought over in my mind for days. (I am not in a position to write to Hertzka about it myself.) Don't be lazy: get on and do it. With that, off with this couple of lines! © Translation Ian Bent, 2019 |

Footnotes1 Writing of this postcard is not recorded in Schenker's diary. The use of pencil makes decipherment difficult in reproduction. 2 Moriz Violin's booklet Über das sogenannte Continuo (Vienna: UE, 1910), of which copies are preserved at OJ 70/49 and OC 6/2; originally written as a program note for a "historical concert" to take place in the Academy in 1910, which was cancelled. |
