Footnotes

1 Writing of this postcard is recorded in Schenker's diary at OJ 3/8, p. 2955, July 12, 1926: "An die Buchhaltung der U.-E. (K.): ersuche um die Abrechnung der Theoriebände." ("To the book-keeping department of UE (postcard): I request the mid-year account for the Musikalischen Theorien und Phantasien.").

2 That Schenker has written the month incorrectly is borne out by the diary and the annotation.
