Footnotes1 By Rettungswerk, Schenker probably means the acquisition of a sum of money to cover the production costs of the third Meisterwerk Yearbook, which had not yet been paid off. In his postcard of March 3, 1931OJ 15/15, [58]), Weisse speaks of his success at the Society for Music Pedagogy, but does not mention his efforts to secure a subvention for the Yearbook from Wilhelm Furtwängler. 2 Schenker wrote about this letter in his article "Ein verschollener Brief von Mozart und das Geheimnis seines Schaffens," Der Kunstwart 44 (July 1931), pp. 660–66. 3 In his previous letter to the Society, Schenker had suggested that they publish a collection of his own writings. |
