OJ 6/7, [7] Handwritten letter from Heinrich Schenker to Moriz Violin, dated October 21,
1923
In a wide-ranging letter, Schenker expresses his joy at Karl Violin’s improving
health, and goes on to mention a number of personal successes he has lately had, including a
visit from Paul von Klenau to take advice for a forthcoming performance of Beethoven’s Missa
solemnis. He has also had some unexpected support from his publisher, who wants to expand Der
Tonwille to a quarterly publication. He is planning to take part in a series of charity concerts
(three Haydn piano trios), and has heard that Clemens Kraus and Hans Knappertsbusch are
overtaking Furtwängler as conductors in Vienna by accepting more modest fees.

OJ 6/7, [23] Handwritten letter from Schenker to Moriz Violin, dated July 26, 1925
Two weeks after arriving in Galtür for the summer holidays, Schenker reports that
he has caught up on his sleep and has already dictated an essay on Reger's Variations and Fugue
on a Theme of J. S. Bach, Op. 81. He will not allow the legal wrangle with Universal Edition to
interfere with his holiday, but he is annoyed about not having been paid by Drei Masken Verlag
for the manuscript of Meisterwerk 1. He has responded to a critique of his Erläuterungsausgabe
of Op. 110, in an essay in Meisterwerk 1, but will not pursue other attacks upon his work and
those of his pupils. The Schenker medallion designed by Alfred Rothberger is going to a second
impression; but the mezzotint portrait by Viktor Hammer, which Jeanette finds a superior work,
has not yet been printed. Throughout the letter, Schenker urges Violin to bring his family to
Galtür sometime during the summer.
