OJ 14/45, [61] Handwritten letter from Moriz Violin to Schenker, dated February 23, 1927

Following a brief description of a recent illness, Violin replies to Schenker's question about accepting the Order of Merit from the Viennese Academy of Art and Science and advises him to accept it. He realizes that staying in Hamburg would be bad for his son's long-term health and has spoken to Artur Schnabel about the possibility of moving to Berlin or Frankfurt. An influential man in Frankfurt is the father-in-law of Paul Klenau; Violin knows of Klenau's respect for Schenker, and asks his friend to write to Klenau in support of his application for a post there.
