[From: ]Dr. Heinrich Schenker [Vienna] III, Reisnerstraße 38 [To: ]Prof. M. Violin, [Vienna] III, Sechshauserstraße 126 [postmark:] || 3/3 VI[ENNA 43] | -3. XI. 19VIII | * R * || [written across in pencil:] [?Mollardy] 67 Mathias Grünwald {verso} Floriz, 1 The date is still not fixed; it will finally be decided in the Rathaus on Wednesday. By contrast, so much is fixed that the date "September 30, 1910" (the day of Lieliechen's arrival) is to be engraved in both rings, and of course on the smaller ring, Lie-Lie's, "Heinrich" and on mine "Lie-Lie" (in fact, in this original style: Lie-Lie (both "L"s capital), which has its significance). – On Tuesday evening we are due to go to Furtwängler's concert – the first event of its sort for many years. – Many thanks for the trouble you took with Löbl. Don't forget, from now on we are limited in time by whenever the date may fall. How are things with you all? Cordial greetings 2 : 5 [signed:] Your HS November 2, 1919 © Translation Ian Bent, 2009 |
