WSLB-Hds 95664 Handwritten letter from Schenker to Seligmann, dated July 22, 1903
Schenker is sending Seligmann a copy of his Beitrag zur Ornamentik, which he
hopes will be grounds for receiving a letter of recommendation from Gustav Mahler (for a
post at the Vienna Conservatory). The writing of it has caused him great anguish, and there
are even more things he wants to say, which would require writing another book, but without
a professorship no one will pay attention to him. He also expresses his desire for female
companionship, to help with his work.
