Footnotes

¹ Reference is to Schenker’s Erläuterungsausgabe of Op. 110, on which Schenker was working at the time, the “Vorbemerkung zur Einführung,“ of which pp. 23–27 (Eng. transl., pp. 7–15) comprised critical remarks on the editorial work of Hans von Bülow and (“even sterner rebuke”) on the editorial and theoretical work of Hugo Riemann. Schenker was thus revealing to Weisse work as yet unpublished, in fact work ongoing at that time (cf. diary, April 1, 3, 5, and 13, 1914).

² On March 16, Weisse had embarked on C. P. E. Bach, Essay on the True Art of Playing Keyboard Instruments, Eng. transl. William J. Mitchell (New York: W. W. Norton; London: Cassell, 1949; London: Eulenburg, 1974), pp. 243–52 "The Six-Five Chord" (= chapter VIII), and on April 16 he was to be working on pp. 252–62 "The Chord of the Second" (= chapter IX). It is thus likely that on this day he was finishing off work on chapter VIII.
