Footnotes1 J. K., "Musik. Nicolai-Konzert unter Wilhelm Furtwängler. – Wilhelm Backhaus. – Adolf Busch," Neue freie Presse, No. 23896, March 24, 1931, morning edition, pp. 6–7; a clipping is preserved in Schenker's scrapbook (OC 2), on page 81. "My territory" refers to Korngold’s quasi-Schenkerian language in describing the performance of the Ninth Symphony, for example the first movement as "a single, extended moment." |
