OJ 6/7, [43] Handwritten letter from Schenker to Moriz Violin, dated November 13, 1929 Urging his friend to write only when he feels up to it, Schenker gives Violin some news of his own: that the Eroica Symphony monograph is finished but a publisher who is capable of dealing with the numerous music examples must be found; that Schenker will work unceasingly on Der freie Satz once the Eroica is out of the way; that the Photogram Archive has grown in size in two years, and that so many requests for information have been received that a yearbook is planned, with critical reports, new editions, and the like; that Hoboken and Vrieslander have fallen out (over money matters); that Schenker's brother Mozio (Moses) has separated from his wife after 25 years of marriage and that he his has been giving music lessons to Mozio’s son, a cellist in the Baden city orchestra. OJ 14/45, [80] Handwritten letter from Violin to Schenker, dated November 19, 1929 Violin apologizes for not having written, but does not want to burden Schenker with negative thoughts. He will try to help find a publisher for the "Eroica" analysis, and also offers some thoughts of comfort on hearing the news that Schenker's brother and sister-in-law have separated. He has little energy left, but is somehow able to muster it when needed, e.g. at a sold-out orchestral concert in which he played better than ever. He promises to be in Vienna over Christmas.

OJ 6/7, [44] Handwritten letter from Schenker to Violin, dated November 24, 1929 After reply to some of the more personal points in Violin's previous letter, Schenker welcomes his friend's efforts to look for a publisher for the Eroica Symphony monograph, noting that, in spite of the difficulties that Hertzka has caused him, his books are still in print and his status as a theorist has been acknowledged by the the fact that the universities of Heidelberg and Leipzig have expressed an interest in appointing him. A recent article in the Deutsche Tonkünstler-Zeitung will give Violin further ammunition when approaching a publisher. That same issue also contains an article by Schoenberg touching on various canonic works (Bach, Prelude in C sharp minor for the Well-Tempered Clavier, Book 1; Beethoven, Seventh Symphony, finale; Mozart, slow introduction to the "Dissonant" Quartet). He feels that it is beneath his dignity to make a formal reply; but to illustrate what he means, and why he is contemptuous of Schoenberg, he provides several voice-leading graphs and other music examples concerning these works. OJ 13/25, [7] Typewritten letter from Rinn to Schenker, dated December 2, 1929 Rinn sends Schenker the October and November 1929 issues of Der Kunstwart.

OJ 10/3, [114] Typewritten letter from Deutsch to Schenker, dated January 21, 1930 Deutsch explains that, without a fixed annual budget, the Board of Trustees [of the Photogram Archive] is unable to function properly. Hoboken didn’t always deal efficiently with the foreign contributors to the collection; a catalogue has still not been prepared. And Deutsch has made himself ill by overwork. Hedwig Kraus has taken over the directorship of the Archive of the Gesellschaft der Musikfreunde, with [Karl] Geiringer as her assistant – to whom Deutsch would have greatly preferred Luithlen. He has been exchanging letters with Vrieslander. OJ 14/45, [83] Handwritten letter from Violin to Schenker, dated January 24, 1930 Violin has learned that the proprietor of Rather-Verlag is unwell, and that there would be no chance of Schenker's having his "Eroica" Symphony monograph published there.

He is going to Berlin to investigate possible employment there. OJ 10/3, [115] Typewritten picture postcard from Deutsch to Schenker, dated January 27, 1930 Deutsch clarifies one or two misunderstandings in Schenker’s previous postcard: Vrieslander has been contracted by the publisher Strache to bring out some unpublished sonatas by C.

OJ 10/3, [119] Typewritten letter from Deutsch to Schenker, dated February 26, 1930 In contrast to the uprightness of Schenker’s other pupils, Hans Weisse and Felix Salzer, Hoboken is described by Deutsch as an unsteady, unfocussed person who may yet be able to do some good but whose restlessness gives him grounds to fear for the future of his library, and his own future. OJ 10/3, [120] Handwritten postcard from Deutsch to Schenker, dated March 2, 1930 Deutsch has come across information suggesting that there may be parts, even a score, of the "Eroica" Symphony with corrections in Beethoven’s hand from the music library of Archduke Rudolph and still located in Olmütz [Olomouc]. OJ 6/7, [47] Handwritten letter from Schenker to Violin, dated March 2, 1930 Schenker reports on two concerts at which Hans Weisse's Octet was performed for the first time. Furtwängler was enchanted by it, Schenker was impressed by the quality of the voice-leading in general, the construction of the finale movement (a passacaglia) in particular. He was touched to see that a pupil of Weisse's, Dr. Felix Salzer, had subvented the cost of the rehearsals and concerts, and the provision of food and drink for the audience; this he compared with Antony van Hoboken's reluctance to help him with the publication costs of his recent work. OJ 15/16, [63] Handwritten letter from Weisse to Schenker, dated March 3, 1930 Weisse has delayed in replying to Schenker's recent letter because he has been corrected copies of his Clarinet Quintet and Octet, which he will submit to the City of Vienna Prize competition. He asks Schenker to help publicize the first performance of the Octet, at the small auditorium of the Musikverein, and asks for the addresses of Angi Elias and Marianne Kahn so that he can send them personal invitations. His wife is about to give birth to a second child, and he hopes that Schenker's personal doctor Julius Halberstam might also be interested in hearing the Octet. OJ 10/3, [121] Typewritten picture postcard from Deutsch to Schenker, dated March 5, 1930 Deutsch tells Schenker that Hoboken may stay in Berlin, at least temporarily. His friend Otto Stoessl works for Der Kunstwart but has not invited him to contribute to that periodical. He has found a review in a Stuttgart music journal which contains words of high praise for Schenker’s Erläuterungsausgaben of the late Beethoven sonatas. OJ 13/25, [9] Typewritten letter from Rinn to Schenker, dated March 8, 1930 Vrieslander's article about Schenker for Der Kunstwart is too technical and too long for a journal with amateur readership; he has asked Vrieslander to shorten it. — He expresses enthusiasm for Schenker's idea of writing about the relationship of the great German poets to music. OJ 10/3, [122] Typewritten picture postcard from Deutsch to Schenker, dated March 17, 1930 Deutsch was unable to hear Weisse’s new composition; he has sympathy for the work of Eduard Beninger. OJ 89/4, [2] Typewritten letter (carbon copy) from Hoboken to Schenker, dated March 19, 1930 Hoboken compares performances of Beethoven's Missa solemnis by Furtwängler and Klemperer. — He has experienced pains in his arm, and has taken recuperative lessons from Rudolf Breithaupt. — He details work he has been doing for the Photogramm Archive, work of his own, and that for Schenker. OC B/136-138 Handwritten letter from Gerhard Albersheim to Schenker, dated March 20–21, 1930 After correction by Schenker, Albersheim has finalized an article on Schenker's work, which he will submit to a journal.

He suspects that Furtwängler will want to consult Schenker about it, and asks his teacher not to be overly modest about the work of one of his pupils, and to stress the need for an arrangement of the work for piano four hands.

OJ 89/4, [4] Typewritten letter (carbon copy) from Hoboken to Schenker, dated March 29, 1930 Hoboken questions Schenker's separation of "artist" from "person," and says that he does not want to become an eternal student. OJ 10/3, [123] Typewritten letter from Deutsch to Schenker, dated April 1, 1930 Deutsch suggests that Schenker should get Breitkopf & Härtel to publish his study of the "Eroica" symphony, on a commission basis. -- He thinks that Hoboken will continue to study theory with Schenker while he improves his piano technique in Berlin. -- He has found a published version of Beethoven’s song "Neue Liebe, neues Leben," which predates its publication in Op. 75 by about three years, and asks Schenker to compare the two version with a sketch from 1798 that was published by Nottebohm. OJ 5/9, [2] Handwritten letter from Schenker to Deutsch, dated April 3, 1930 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. OJ 10/3, [124] Typewritten letter from Deutsch to Schenker, dated April 4, 1930 Deutsch thanks Schenker for confirming the relationship of a Beethoven sketch to his song "Neue Liebe, neues Leben," which Gustav Nottebohm had misunderstood.

Furtwängler hoped that Hans Weisse might write a response; in the end, Brünauer wrote one, and Weisse has sent it to Furtwängler. Schenker has himself replied to an article by Eduard Beninger in the February 1930 issue of the Zeitschrift für Musik. Owing to overwork, he was required to rest during the day between lessons; now he is better. Oppel is again coming to Galtür and Schenker hopes that Violin will join him there, too.

OJ 5/7a, [30] (formerly vC 30) Handwritten postcard from Schenker to Cube, dated July 10, 1930 Comparison of Otto Vrieslander with Hans Weisse. Weisse's Octet impressed Furtwängler. Meisterwerk III due out in October (reports contents); is now revising Der freie Satz. OJ 6/7, [49] Handwritten letter from Schenker to Moriz Violin, dated July 10, 1930 Acknowledging his recent letter to Jeanette, Schenker expresses his regret that Violin and his son Karl are still troubled by health problems and reports some recent news. Furtwängler's intervention with Breitkopf & Härtel on behalf of Weisse's Octet was in vain; he had also sought the same firm's agreement to publish the "Eroica" analysis, but this will now appear as the third Meisterwerk Yearbook. The Schenkers are expecting many visitors in Galtür, including Furtwängler, Reinhard Oppel, Schenker's nephew and his wife, and Jeanette's sister and family. Hoboken is prepared to fund the publication of a collected edition of the works of C. P. E. Bach (with financial support from the city of Hamburg), but Schenker is cautious about this because his paid involvement in the project might result in work that would jeopardize progress on Der freie Satz. He has been included in the latest edition of Meyers Konversations-Lexicon, and has received favorable citation in Romain Rolland's latest Beethoven book. OC 54/311 Handwritten letter from Deutsch to Schenker, dated July 14, 1930 Deutsch sends Schenker the contract from Drei Masken Verlag for the third Meisterwerk yearbook, and asks him to sign it and return it to the publishers.

P. E. Bach. — He then launches a long and detailed denunciation of Anthony van Hoboken’s character, referring in particular to his treatment of Otto Vrieslander, his ambivalence towards projects associated with the Photogram Archive, and his absconding to Berlin to study the piano with Rudolf Breithaupt; Hoboken is thoroughly undeserving of a high honor conferred by the Austrian state. OC 54/312 Handwritten picture postcard from Deutsch to Schenker, dated July 21, 1930 Deutsch is sending the text manuscript of Schenker’s third Meisterwerk yearbook to Drei Masken Verlag. OJ 14/45, [86] Handwritten letter from Moriz Violin to Schenker, dated July 23, 1930 Violin despairs of the future for his son, who has just turned 17, and about life in general. He has faith only in Schenker, whom he sees as truly a product of his time, because of his intimate attachment to the great achievements of bygone eras. He thinks that the rest of the world will recognize in half a century what he knows now; he has no interest in Furtwängler, who may appear to be modest in Schenker's company, but is no less arrogant than any other idiot when left to his own devices. He is concerned about things that might interfere with the completion of Schenker's last works.

OC 54/207 Handwritten letter from Georg Tomay to Schenker, dated July 31, 1930 Tomay encloses blueprints of music examples for the third Meisterwerk volume for Schenker's consideration. He anticipates that he will soon be in a position to send corrected copies of the graphs for movements 1–3 of Beethoven's Third Symphony, with the hope to secure Schenker's approval to publish. OJ 6/7, [50] Handwritten letter from Schenker to Moriz Violin, dated July 31, 1930 Schenker assures his friend that he understands his difficulties, and that he can be proud of holding his head high above those who do not understand music, or are incapable of interpreting it beautifully. His own problems are focussed around money, especially as his brother (Moses) has not given him the second part of his inheritance. He has sought to find cheaper ways of producing the music examples for his latest writings: he is more satisfied with the Eroica examples than the engraved illustrations from previous volumes of Das Meisterwerk in der Musik, and is planning to issue Der freie Satz with a volume of examples that is separate from the text. He repeats the news, from an earlier letter, of his being mentioned in Romain Rolland's most recent Beethoven book, and of his entry in Meyers Konversations-Lexicon, and also reports on an item about him in the Deutsche Tonkünstler-Lexikon.

WSLB-Hds 191.567 Handwritten letter from Schenker to Deutsch, dated August 15, [1930] Schenker thanks Deutsch for his careful, helpful reading of the proofs to the third Meisterwerk yearbook. -- Tomay has assigned the autography of the foreground graphs for the second movement of the "Eroica" Symphony to an apprentice; these are full of mistakes and will have to be done again. But Tomay’s own work, on the third and fourth movements, is excellent. -- In a postscript, he comments on his entry in the most recent Meyers Lexikon, and on a review of the second Meisterwerk yearbook in the Deutsche Tonkünstler-Zeitung.

OC 54/325 Handwritten letter from Deutsch to Schenker, dated October 11, 1930 Deutsch explains to Schenker which proof corrections may be the author’s responsibility, and which the printer’s or publisher’s, and advises him to write back to the publisher but not to get unduly upset about these matters.

OJ 6/7, [51] Handwritten letter, with envelope, from Schenker to Violin, dated October 21, 1930 Writing after a long and serious illness, Schenker assures his friend that he is alive and well. The doctors have pronounced him generally fit, but he suffers from a painful tightening of the thorax, and also a flickering that causes him to "lose" letters and notes. He has had to give many double-lessons of late, in theory, which he finds tiring. To Hoboken, who, though gifted, is concerned only about his money and often comes to lessons without having prepared anything, he would rather play than give over-long lectures. He is concerned, for his own sake as much as for Weisse's, about the lectures in Berlin that Weisse will deliver, and about his eagerness to debate with Alfred Lorenz; he is glad that Violin is going to Berlin, and will give him instructions about what to do there. His Beethoven sonata edition brings in 100 shillings per month – a good deal for the publishers – and his brother still has half of his inheritance. But he is still alive – with Der freie Satz.

OC 54/247 Typewritten letter from August Demblin (DMV) to Schenker, dated November 7, 1930 Because of the changes made to them, an additional printing of the Urlinie graphs seems advisable; Schenker is asked to approve these.

He fears that something might go wrong at Weisse's forthcoming lecture at the Central Institute for Music Education, and hopes that Violin will listen with a sharp ear. Weisse will give a trial run of the lecture at the Schenkers' apartment. OC 54/332 Handwritten letter from Deutsch to Schenker, dated November 26, 1930 Deutsch thinks that the invoice for the printing and production of the third Meisterwerk yearbook is reasonable, and that Drei Masken Verlag had underestimated the costs earlier in the summer.

He is surprised to hear that Jonas has sought Schenker's help in finding employment, and urges Schenker not to write a letter of recommendation until a concrete piece of work materializes. He is about to go to Berlin to deliver two lectures on Schenker's theories, and has heard that Moriz Violin and Reinhard Oppel will be there; he would like to give one of these lectures at Schenker's home before a small audience of his most dedicated pupils, and suggests a date and time for this.
