Footnotes1 Probably Beethoven’s Sonata Op. 10 No. 2, a piece Elias studied the previous year. Her most recent lesson on Chopin’s Etude Op. 10 No. 2 was during the 1917/18 season. — This first entry is undated. The most likely dates for the lesson to have taken place are October 1, 4, 6, or 8. Elias seems to have signed up for three lessons per week, on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays, but with many omissions/absences and several substitutions. 2 Probably Partita No. 1 in Bę major, on which another pupil (Brünauer) had just received a lesson three days earlier. In a series of sketches that Schenker appears to have prepared the following week (OC 69/4–8), he graphs both the Prelude and Allemande as ĉ -lines. Cf. Schenker’s diary, October 15: “An op. 106 u. dem Präludium der Partita u. Allemande.” (“[Work] on Op. 106 and the Prelude of the Partita and Allemande.”) October 17: “Allemande zuende.” (“Allemande finished.”) 3 OC 65/12, Elias’s foreground graph of the first 161 measures of this movement, resembles Schenker’s “Urlinie-Tafel” graphs in its level of detail, while OC 65/4, her two-level graph of the first 134 bars, is labelled as “I, Klischees.” This lesson appears to have centered on bars 1–61 of these two documents, comprising the first theme (“Gruppe I”) and transition (“Modulationspartie”) in Schenker’s earlier analysis of the movement’s form (OC 65/64–65). See Nicholas Marston, Heinrich Schenker and Beethoven’s ‘Hammerklavier’ Sonata (Ashgate, 2013), pp. 36–42 and 149–50. 4 This was the first of twenty lessons centering on graphs of Brahms’s Waltzes Op. 39 that Elias received during the 1924/25 and 1925/26 seasons. A notebook containing Elias’s graphs of the entire opus, with corrections in Schenker’s hand, survives as OC 34/312. 5 The score cited here (OC score 73) includes two sonatas in D major, namely Hob. XVI/19 and 37. The lessonbook entry for November 17 suggests that Elias played the former. 6 Of the two sonatas in D major found in the score cited in the lessonbook entry from November 8, only one includes an Adagio movement (“Adagio, ma non troppo”): Hob. XVI/19. 7 See Elias’s foreground graph of the movement (OC 65/12–14), bars 120–226. 8 See footnote in lessonbook entry from November 8. 9 Hob. XVI/19. See lessonbook entries from November 8 and 17. 10 See footnote in lessonbook entry from November 8. 11 There are two graphs of this movement in Elias’s hand: OC 65/24 (foreground) and OC 65/25 (reduction). 12 See footnote in lessonbook entry from December 3. |
