Footnotes

1 A leading figure in music pedagogy, Fritz Jöde wrote a series of books in this field in the 1920s, of which Musikschulen für Jugend und Volk (1924) best fits the time-frame of the diary entry; his best known work, however, is the edited collection of canons, Der Kanon, which appeared in 1925.

2 "Die Sonate aus dem Stehgreif": the working title for the article "Vom Organischen der Sonatenform," published in Meisterwerk 2, pp. 43–54; Eng. transl., pp. 23–30.
