and reports that the conductor knows nothing of his writings and has no idea about the Urlinie.

publisher, perhaps with Wilhelm Altmann's intervention.)

After expressing his sympathy for Violin, in response to his friend's depressing
postcard, Schenker gives an account of some of the summer events, including a visit from
Vrieslander and Hoboken and work on two essays for Meisterwerk 2. While continuing to rail
against Hertzka and Universal Edition, he repeats the story of Drei Masken Verlag failing to
send him 250 Marks upon receipt of the manuscript of Meisterwerk 1. His brother Moses is,
however, acquainted with the principal owner of Drei Masken, Felix Sobotka, and through this
connection the payment has been made.
