OJ 10/3, [29] Handwritten letter from Deutsch to Schenker, dated March 20, 1922
Deutsch writes that the "Moonlight" Sonata facsimile edition is still being printed, and that he
cannot make a decision on the production of a second facsimile edition until the new contract has been agreed
with Universal Edition. The contract has been delayed by Universal Edition's dispute with Drei Masken. If they

Deutsch suggests Beethoven's String Quartet Op. 95 as an alternative.

manuscript.
