Footnotes
1 This letter must date from November 13 or shortly after, 1905. Schenker’s
attendance of the première of d’Albert’s opera Flauto
solo in Prague on November 12 can be inferred from paragraph
2 in conjunction with that in paragraph 1 regarding Cotta, despite the
absence of any record in Schenker’s diary.
2 D’Albert
had written to J. G.
Cotta of Stuttgart a letter of recommendation of Schenker’s
Harmonielehre
on November 13, 1905 on the basis of
which Cotta accepted the work (OJ 9/31, [2], Cotta to d’Albert, November 14, and (OJ 9/31, [3], Cotta to
Schenker, November 15). Cotta had initially rejected Schenker’s proposal
(CA 1-2, November 8;
OJ 9/31, [1],
November 9).
3 Piano recital
by Eugen d’Albert in the Bösendorfer Recital Hall, the program comprising
sonatas by Beethoven, Brahms, Weber, and the Liszt B minor Sonata. The reference
to Hartmann is unexplained.
