  Schenker confirms that a Beethoven sketch for "Neue Liebe, neues Leben" is related to the earlier of his two settings of the song. Although he is grateful for Nottebohm’s work on the Beethoven sketches, he transcribed only from the surface, not from the depths of the composition. -- In a postscript, Schenker complains that, in a recent feuilleton, the music critic Julius Korngold has quoted his terminology (e.g. Auskomponierung) but failed to mention his name.

He asks Schenker to get in touch with Karpath about this, but to do so tactfully and with reference to these three points.

• OJ 10/3, [160] Typewritten letter from Deutsch to Schenker, dated October 24, 1931

  Deutsch is pleased that his “plotting” to obtain for Hoboken a civic honor from the Austrian state is working so far. He has spoken on the telephone with Ludwig Karpath and will see him next week.

• OJ 10/3, [168] Typewritten letter from Deutsch to Schenker, dated May 9, 1932

• OJ 10/3, [212] Typewritten letter from Deutsch to Schenker, dated June 13, 1934

  In this long letter Deutsch recounts events and circumstances concerned with Hoboken’s library and the Photogram Archive, including the attempt by Oswald Jonas to place an article on the Archive in English music journals and a Swiss newspaper, and Hoboken’s intemperate behavior at an antiquarian music shop in London. Deutsch, trying to smooth over points of friction, was himself accused both of neglecting his duties to Hoboken and of being too familiar with new dealers in early music prints, who could be of service to the library.

• OJ 10/3, [213] Typewritten letter from Deutsch to Schenker, dated June 29, 1934

  Deutsch responds to queries about the forthcoming publication of Der freie Satz, making recommendations about the contract, and the way in which Anthony van Hoboken is to be invoiced for his financial support; he offers to proofread the text when the time comes. -- His difficulties with Hoboken continue, this time over the purchase of some inexpensive editions of music which could be replaced with better ones. -- He is to give a course at the Vienna Academy; Hoboken needs to be informed about this, and he would like to be able to tell Hoboken that he is offering this course at Schenker’s prompting.

• OJ 10/3, [214] Typewritten postcard from Deutsch to Schenker, dated July 19, 1934

  Deutsch is concerned that Schenker has not replied to his last letter. He has discovered that a waltz by Johann Strauss the Elder quotes from Beethoven’s “Kreutzer” Sonata.

• OJ 10/3, [215] Typewritten letter from Deutsch to Schenker, dated August 6, 1934

  Deutsch has decided not to give his planned course at the Vienna Academy, citing Hoboken’s insistence that his collection of first editions is off-limits and the fact that remuneration will not be great. -- He will be in Salzburg in the second half of August; Hoboken will probably return to Vienna in mid-September, without visiting Salzburg this year.

• OJ 10/3, [216] Handwritten picture postcard from Deutsch to Schenker, dated August 21, 1934

  Deutsch recommends the place he is staying in Aigen, and also a hotel in Salzburg. Hoboken will be in Salzburg at the beginning of September.

• OJ 10/3, [217] Handwritten postcard from Deutsch to Jeanette Schenker, dated August 28, 1934

  Deutsch gives Jeanette Schenker instructions for getting from Bad Gastein to Aigen near Salzburg, and how to transport the luggage there. He himself will have departed on the last day of the month.

• OC 44/17 Typewritten postcard from Otto Erich Deutsch to Schenker, dated September 20, 1934

  Deutsch reports the launch, in Radio Wien, of the competition to find or create a poem that would suit the untexted Schubert song D. 555.

• OJ 10/3, [218] Typewritten letter from Deutsch to Schenker, dated October 14, 1934

  Deutsch hopes that a planned journal associated with the Photogram Archive might still see the light of day, and hopes that Schenker can use his influence to dissuade Hoboken from giving his wife [Eva] an editorial role; he [Deutsch] would be willing to serve without additional remuneration. He would like Oswald Jonas to write something on Schubert’s Der Lindenbaum, comparing Schubert’s original setting [in Die Winterreise] with Friedrich Silcher’s simplified arrangement for four-voice male chorus and piano.

• OC A/279 Typewritten picture postcard from Deutsch to Schenker, dated November 26, 1934

• OJ 10/3, [219] Typewritten letter from Deutsch to Jeanette Schenker, dated July 7, 1935

  In this first of two surviving letters written after Schenker’s death in January 1935, Deutsch thanks Jeanette Schenker for the portrait – presumably Viktor Hammer’s 1925 mezzotint – of her husband, and for an inscribed copy of Free Composition.

• OJ 10/3, [220] Typewritten letter (carbon copy) from Deutsch to Jeanette Schenker, dated May 3, 1939

  Deutsch encloses a text, probably a printed note explaining why he is emigrating from Austria; he is unable to advise Jeanette about her future but hopes that they might see each other again. He will stay in Vienna until the end of May, then go to London in June and New York in the autumn. -- This is the final item in the correspondence between the Deutsch and Schenker households.
