— cloudy, 0°. — Miss Elias brings the book by Rolland; then it of course looks easier to understand. 1 — After lunch: money to the Schutzverband and for sales tax. — I ask Hoboken what he would like of Weisse he invited Weisse to his place, but Weisse begged him to come to his place! — Radio, Pataky, very nice. — 8:30, telegram: cancellation from Halberstam! — To Baumgarten (postcard, sent pneumatically): I now call him off, too. — Radio: broadcast of Schober's installation in Vienna, gripping; – Tautenhayn music! Pauspertl plays a czardas, utterly incomparable in its imitation of the instruments, as also from a purely pianistic point of view.

Footnotes

1 This remark probably concerns the claim that Schenker's work had been praised in Romain Rolland's most recent book on Beethoven; Schenker had previously thought that Rolland did not know any of his writings. See diary entries for Dec 29, 1929, and Jan 2, 1930.
