Footnotes1 Important to note “die”, not “der”, so not governed by “reproductions of”; and yet Weisse could not have brought the original so must have brought them in some photographic form. 2 Schenker’s diary for this day records: “Weisse brings Brahms’s ‘collection of interesting passages’; beyond all expectation, the master shows himself immersed in the most intensive work and effort in his research into voice-leading problems.” This and the lessonbook entry appear to be the first reference to Brahms’s Oktaven und Quinten u.A., of which Schenker made an edition with commentary in 1933; “against all expectation” suggests that Schenker was surprised by what he saw. |
