Footnotes

1 If this refers Beethoven's Op. 106, then Cube may have started with the most difficult movement, i.e. the fugue, in case he was unable to continue his lessons and compelled to return home.

2 As the pieces in question are both string quartets (Schumann's Op. 41, No. 2, and Brahms's Op. 67), not quintets, Mairecker must have been the leader of the ensemble, not an extra player. (Schenker had disapproved of Buxbaum naming a quartet after himself, as cellist.)
