Footnotes1 No correspondence with Rettich is known to survive. Schenker was at this time trying urgently to obtain assurance from Baron Alphons Rothschild (whose private secretary Rettich was) of financial support in the form of the printing costs of Kontrapunkt I. 2 The first section of Schenker's Kontrapunkt I (1910), is entitled "Cantus firmus als Grundlage der Kontrapunktstudien" ("Cantus firmus as the Foundation of Contrapuntal Studies"). |
