OJ 10/3, [104] Typewritten letter from Deutsch to Schenker, dated July 28, 1929
In a long letter, Deutsch thanks Schenker for encouraging him to apply for the
post of Head Archivist at the Gesellschaft der Musikfreunde following the death of the
previous postholder, Eusebius Mandyczewski, on July 13. He comments on the present state of
play at the Archive, above all on its insecure position. — He also expresses his regret that
Austrian Radio is no longer interested in his “Chamber Ensemble” broadcasts with professors
from the Vienna Academy, and that some of the players are no longer enthusiastic about them;
he hopes to start a new initiative of that sort in the autumn. — He is in good standing with
Hoboken, but the work on his private library is not bringing him rewards. — He enjoyed his
recent trip to Italy, and thinks that he might have become an art historian had he gotten to
know the country earlier.
