[in left margin:] Art of Performance 1 [end] ⇧ In the Philharmonic concert, the Serenade in D major by Brahms. 2 Musicians and the public misjudge the composition. So then, even the sacrifice to the world of his death is still of absolutely no help to the poor composer if his work is not even performed with its full plasticity. [something cut off below]

Footnotes1 "Kunst des Vortrags": the same marginal note appears in the diary for December 6 and 12, 1906, suggesting that Schenker was flagging this entry for possible use in the work that he was planning, Die Kunst des Vortrags , but of which he did not produce a first written draft until 1911. The handwriting is clearly contemporaneous with the entry itself, but the entry (and several previous ones) has been edited in blue ink by Schenker, and the marginal note circled in blue crayon. (At the bottom right corner of the page, in Schenker's black ink, are the tops of the letters of an indecipherable word.) 2 The concert, by the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra under Franz Schalk, took place, according to the Neue freie Presse , January 12, 1908, p. 15 (review January 13, 1908, p. 8), on January 12 in the large hall of the Musikverein Building (the other items on the program are not listed). |
