OJ 6/8, [7] Handwritten letter from Schenker to Violin, dated October 17, 1931

Schenker offers Violin words of comfort in the light of a misappropriation of the title “Professor.” He also describes progress on Chopin’s Op. 10, No. 12, and the Bach Prelude in C major for the Five Analyses in Sketchform, and his work on a document of Anton Schindler purporting to convey Beethoven’s instructions on the performance of the Op. 14 sonatas.

Violin thanks Schenker for his package. He has been swamped by administrative business concerning the Schenker Institute, but is sometimes able to argue about musical matters with Felix-Eberhard von Cube. He thanks Schenker for correcting a mistake on Cube’s part concerning the analysis of the end of the C major Prelude from the first book of Bach’s Well-tempered Clavier.
