Floriz,
1
What is the news with you?? How is your dear boy?
2
Was K.’s letter useful? (Do you
really have to bring this filthy matter into the open?)
3
The situation is becoming increasingly more critical here, too: departmental head Prüger was [?sprayed] by W., Schmidt, Marx, etc.; it's a
good thing that K. did not approach him.
The Academy is almost entirely
without pupils; the one in
{recto}
Berlin also the same; the teachers have
served the world too badly where music is concerned; for this reason alone, the flight! . .
.
Many [continues in left margin, written

and your dear family and Mr. von
Cube,
Your

Footnotes
1 Writing of this postcard is recorded
in Schenker's diary for November 27, 1931: “An Floriz (K.): was geht vor?” (“To Floriz
(postcard): what news is there?”).
2 No
paragraph-break at this point in the original.
3 No paragraph-break at this point in the
original. — By “filthy matter” Schenker may be referring to the contentious issue of the
use of the title “Professor” by Violin, as discussed in OJ 6/8, [8], October 23, 1931, and related correspondence, or
to strife at the Schenker Institute in Hamburg, as indicated in ÖNB, Mus.Hs. 36390/1, [2],
November 4.
