Footnotes

1 The first in 1908 of Schenker's habitual excursions from the Westbahnhof to one of the stations in the Vienna Woods, then by foot, returning on foot or by train. Many of these were alone. On March 31 1907 he went with "Sophie Pollak and Viki." It is unclear who his companion was on the present occasion, but the absence of "Fräulein" suggests it was male.

2 This, the eighth and last of the Philharmonic subscription concerts for 1907/08, according to the Neue freie Presse, took place in the large hall of the Musikverein Building at 12.30 p.m. on March 22, 1908, with the Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Franz Schalk. The program comprised Berlioz, Overture "Le Corsaire," Tchaikovsky, Orchestral Suite No. 3 in G major, Op. 55 (the Polacca being the twelfth and final variation of the fourth and final movement), and Brahms, Symphony No. 1 in C minor, Op. 68. The Neue freie Presse for March 23 on p. 10 prints a review of this concert (of the Berlioz: "its material is threadbare, dry, the construction loose") and a retrospective of the series.
