Footnotes1 On September 29, 1929, in the outskirts of Vienna, there were demonstrations by right-wing paramilitary national militias, who had called for a "march on Vienna." The feared coup d'état and more serious incidents did not, however, materialize. 2 The diary entry marked “29. Samstag, schön.” (pp. 3384–85) records events that took place both on Saturday, September 29, 1929, and on Sunday, September 30. This is clear from what Schenker listened to on the radio radio, which can be found in the listings in the Neue freie Presse: programs devoted to piano trios and operettas aired on the 29th, works by Chopin for piano and orchestra broadcast from Warsaw on the 30th. The last event recorded on the 29th must have been Jeanette’s writing out the text of the second movement (of the “Eroica” Symphony essay), completed at 10 o’clock in the evening; the first event recorded on the 30th would then be the receipt of a postcard from Friedrich Buxbaum. |
