June 1, 1908] Responding to Grunsky's request, Schenker gives his assessment of Bruckner's music. First exploring common ground between him and Grunsky, he then offers "technical reasons" why he regards Bruckner as "possessing minimal powers of invention," therefore cannot call him a "master." In the process, he compares the "Komponisten" (composers) of the present day unfavorably with the "Tonsetzer" (tonal craftsmen) of the past. OJ 9/12, [4] Handwritten letter from Carl Bamberger to Schenker, dated March 4, 1925 Bamberger seeks Schenker's advice on the choice of works for a series of Sunday morning concerts that is included in his new contract with Danzig.
