June 13, 1930, like high summer in Galtür!
— From Dunn, a short book published by Novelli "The Principles of Instrumentation" 1 – I am mentioned. — From Mittelmann (postcard): he will probably come. — A sample [taken] for analysis. — Interest withdrawn from the Creditanstalt. — At Tomay's: he seeks an advance; I retain Fig. 36 and the graph of the Urlinie of the third movement [of the "Eroica" essay]. — To Deutsch (letter): concerning the quotation, cited by me, from Thayer's vol. 2, 2 on arrangements; for the Schubert marches, Weingarten or d’Albert could be considered. — To Halberstam (letter): request for an appointment. — Result: 0.3%. —Hoboken says good-bye. — To Mrs. Pairamall (express letter by Lie-Liechen): thanks for the things sent. — Radio, 8 o'clock, Schmidt and Schiffmann play Reger's Op. 86 and three pieces by Debussy for two pianos. Schmidt ought actually to have been punished for this! 3 —© Translation William Drabkin. |

Footnotes1 John Petrie Dunn, A student's guide to orchestration, Novello's Music Primers and Educational Series, No. 107 (London: Novello, n.d.). This book is known to have been in Schenker's personal library at the time of his death. 2 Alexander W. Thayer, Ludwig van Beethoven's Leben, vol. 2 (Berlin: Breitkopf & Härtel, 1872). The five-volume set was present in the second edition (1901‒08) in Schenker's personal library at his death. 3 Schenker's dislike of these composers is readily apparent from his writings in the 1920s. His particular antipathy towards Reger's Op. 86 probably results from its tonal structure: at the start, the theme (Beethoven's Bagatelle Op. 119, No. 6) the variations are each set in a different key, something he would have regarded as incompatible with variation form. |
