Vienna, ⇧ July 25, ⇧ 189⇧ 5 IX/3, Günthergasse 1 Dear Dr. [Schenker], I sincerely regret that I have apparently misunderstood you. 1 But if even I, who after all read you more closely and thoughtfully than the average reader, can misunderstand you, how will you be misunderstood when the public sees it? So I mean no offence, and do send me your "Musical Education" 2 very soon. © Translation Geoffrey A. Chew, 2006 |
