If only the escape routes to goodness, freedom and health could finally be prepared for you forever, as now. For the delightful news about your move, and the prospectus, 2 many thanks. I had a letter from Cube, who “is already greatly looking forward” to the start. 3 Oppel’s visit here has been thrown into doubt (on account of conditions in Germany). The first installment (400 shillings) from Mozio has arrived; the story is run on {recto} until the year 1933 – which is also fine with me, so long as things continue. Many kisses, greetings and good wishes from the two of us to you all, Your [signed:] H. July 24, 1931 © Translation William Drabkin, 2015 |

Footnotes1 Writing of this postcard is recorded in Schenker's diary for July 24, 1931: “An Floriz (K.): Wünsche zur Genesung u. Dank für die Mitteilung” (“To Floriz (postcard): best wishes for [his son’s] recovery, and thanks for his communication”). 2 The leaflet describing the newly established Schenker Institute in Hamburg. 3 i.e. the start of the new school year at the Schenker Institute in Hamburg, at which he will be teaching music theory. The letter from Cube that is referred to appears not to have survived. |
