WSLB 104 - Handwritten letter from Schenker to Hertzka (UE), dated March 22, 1912



⇧ Sehr geehrter Herr Direktor!

Besten Dank für die Zusendung des Manuscriptausschnittes. Ich stimme ganz Ihrem Vorschlag bei, eine „seitlich aufklappbare“ Tafel einzufügen. 1 (Der andere noch überhaupt mögliche Weg würde eine Verkleinerung erfordern, die aber, als die einzige Fig. dieser Art, meines Erachtens den Zusammenklang des ganzen stören würde.) Alle anderen Bogen erhalten Sie bestimmt am Dienstag, 26. d. M.

[overwritten across paragraph in crayon:] ⇧ Erl 23/ III 1912


⇧ Mit ausgezeichneter Hochachtung
ergebenst
I[h]r
[signed:] H Schenker


22. März 1912

⇧ Dear Director,

Many thanks for sending the portion of the manuscript. I entirely concur with your suggestion of inserting a table "to be folded out laterally." 1 (The other way, still perfectly possible, would require a reduction in size; but, as the only figure of its type, this would in my judgement spoil the coherence of the whole.) You will have all the other gatherings for certain on Tuesday the 26th of the month.

[overwritten across paragraph in crayon:] ⇧ Dealt with March 23, 1912


⇧ With kind regards,
Most devotedly
Your
[signed:] H. Schenker

Footnotes

1 See OC 52/83, March 20, 1912: the proposal is implemented as Fig. 406, a paste-in between pp. 334 and 335 [Eng. transl., pp. 296‒97, where the figure is spread across the full opening] (hence to the last leaf of gathering 21), and lays out the entries in the double fugue of the Allegro energico section of movement 4.
