OJ 6/7, [18] Handwritten letter from Schenker to Moriz Violin, dated February 22, 1925 Schenker thanks Violin for his recent letter (and enclosure), which contains evidence of Hertzka's false calculations of subscriptions to Der Tonwille – this letter in stark contrast to the actions of his pupils Weisse and Brünauer, who had given more support to the publication of Weisse's recently published vocal quartets than to his writings. Leaving Der Tonwille behind, which has earned him little money and caused him much misery, he has written a lengthy study of Bach's solo violin works, which will be published in the first volume of Das Meisterwerk in der Musik, which will include a critique of Ernst Kurth's Grundlagen des linearen Kontrapunkts. OJ 9/12, [3] Handwritten letter from Carl Bamberger to Schenker, dated February 23, 1925 As a follow-up to his previous letter, Bamberger gives a full account of the number of subscriptions to Der Tonwille that he has either instigated himself or encouraged others to take on.

Schenker is upset that his lawyer Dr. Baumgarten, though an old friend, is not fully supportive of his position and would prefer seek a compromise with Hertzka; this, Schenker feels, would rob him of much of his hard-earned royalties, especially from the Beethoven sonata edition. He now asks Violin to find a contact – outside Hamburg – who would be willing to order nine copies of Tonwille 1, as evidence that this issue is still in demand, despite Hertzka's claims to the contrary.

Schenker thinks differently from Hindemith: the notion of a "good musician" is a delusion; artistic property is comparable with material property; the music of today is quite different from that of the past, the rules of the masterworks do not govern it, hence it is not art at all. Schenker reserves the right to speak his own mind. OJ 8/4, [44] Handwritten postcard from Schenker to Moriz Violin, dated November 10, 1926 Schenker enquires about the health of Violin and his son Karl.

He reports having shown Agnes Becker some straightforward examples of the Urlinie, out of desperation (she shows little aptitude for piano playing), and then explains that a great deal of time, patience and faith are needed to understand such things.

WSLB 420 Handwritten postcard from Schenker to Hugo Winter (UE), dated January 17, 1930 Schenker reminds Winter to send him his [half-yearly] statement. 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 also reports on declining cultural and human values, of which the recent success of jazz-based works, staged in German opera houses, is emblematic. 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. P. E. Bach. OJ 10/3, [116] Handwritten postcard from Hanna Deutsch to Schenker, dated February 1, 1930 The Deutsches invite the Schenkers for dinner on Wednesday, February 5, 1930.

OJ 89/4, [1] Handwritten letter from Schenker to Hoboken, dated February 22, 1930 Schenker advises that an analysis of the score of Beethoven's Missa solemnis should be taken at a slow pace. 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 will now prepare himself for the state examinations. OJ 15/16, [64] Handwritten letter from Weisse to Schenker, dated March 21, 1930 Weisse has seen Furtwängler, who will write a letter of recommendation to Breitkopf & Härtel with regard to Weisse's Octet. 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. OC 54/223 Typed letter from Waldheim Eberle to Schenker, dated March 22, 1930 Waldheim Eberle gratefully acknowledge receipt of Schenker's letter, and are delighted to have been chosen as the printing house for the third Meisterwerk volume.

OC B/139 Typewritten letter from Alfred Einstein (ZfMw) to Schenker, dated March 28, 1930 Einstein returns to Schenker an article submitted by Gerhard Albersheim. -- He acknowledges receipt of a correction from Schenker. 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. OJ 10/3, [125] Typewritten letter from Deutsch to Schenker, dated April 6, 1930 Deutsch has learned that Hoboken intends to keep his apartment in Vienna at least until 1932; his departure from the city is therefore only temporary. OJ 15/15, [46] Handwritten postcard from Weisse to Schenker, dated April 14, 1930 Weisse expresses his unease about the dedication to Furtwängler of an article on the "Urlinie," by Walter Riezler. He thinks that Furtwängler, who does not really understand the term, may have put Riezler up to writing it. OC 54/296 Handwritten letter from Furtwängler to Schenker, dated April 16, 1930 Furtwängler encloses a letter from Karl Straube, and cautions Schenker against publishing with Breitkopf.

OJ 10/3, [126] Handwritten letter from Deutsch to Schenker, dated May 11, 1930 Deutsch asks for Schenker’s advice on the programming of an evening “Serenade” of orchestral and choral music, to be conducted by Robert Heger. OC 54/218 Handwritten letter from Karl Straube to Schenker, dated May 14–16, 1930 Straube informs Schenker that, owing to the acute slump in sales of musical textbooks, he has been unable to secure a publishing deal for the third Meisterwerk yearbook with both Breitkopf & Härtel and C. F. Peters. OJ 13/25, [10] Typewritten letter from Rinn to Schenker, dated May 15, 1930 Rinn sends a copy of Vrieslander's article on Schenker, which will appear in the next issue of Der Kunstwart. — He looks forward to receiving Schenker's essay on German poets and music, and hopes that Schenker will consider writing some commentary-style pieces for him. OJ 14/45, [84] Handwritten letter from Moriz Violin to Schenker, dated May 15, 1930 Violin apologizes for not having written, but his family have moved to a more affordable apartment and, around the same time, his wife was taken seriously ill with appendicitis. Things are better now. OJ 5/9, [3] Handwritten letter from Schenker to Deutsch, dated May 15, 1930 Discusses Beethoven's song "Neue Liebe, neues Leben" (Op. 75, No. 2). Dr. Rinn will be inviting Deutsch to collaborate. OJ 6/7, [48] Handwritten letter from Schenker to Moriz Violin, dated May 19, [1930] After congratulating Violin on moving house, Schenker reports that an article that is critical of the "Urlinie", by Walter Riezler, has apparently offended Furtwängler, a childhood friend of the author. 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 10/3, [127] Handwritten picture postcard from Deutsch to Schenker, dated May 23, 1930 Deutsch thanks Schenker for his musical illustration relating to Beethoven’s "Neue Liebe, neues Leben" and gives details of the second of two outdoor music events [Leopoldsplatz], scheduled for June 12. OJ 10/3, [128] Handwritten picture postcard from Deutsch to Schenker, dated May 25, 1930 Deutsch is delighted that Schenker is happy with Drei Masken Verlag’s willingness to publish the Eroica monograph as a third Meisterwerk yearbook. He has encountered difficulties with the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra regarding the program for the first of two Serenades in the Leopoldsplatz in June.

OC 54/303 Handwritten letter from Deutsch to Schenker, dated May 30, 1930 Schenker is advised to visit the lithographer Karl Piller concerning the preparation of his music examples and illustrations [for the Eroica monograph]. Deutsch will write immediately to Drei Masken Verlag about the type of paper to be used. OC 54/298 Typewritten letter from Furtwängler to Schenker, dated May 30, 1930 Furtwängler is angry at Straube's reply, and may sound out Max Hesse — He has resigned his Vienna position. OJ 10/3, [129] Handwritten letter from Deutsch to Schenker, dated June 6, 1930 Deutsch has discussed the printing of the music illustrations for Schenker’s "Eroica" monograph with the lithographers Elbemühl.

OC 54/304 Typewritten letter from Deutsch to Schenker, dated June 10, 1930 Deutsch returns a letter from Furtwängler; he finds Vrieslander’s essay about Schenker difficult to read. He advises him to proceed with the printing of his essay on the "Eroica" Symphony, even if it proves possible for another publisher to take it over at a late stage. He is still looking for someone to arrange Schubert’s piano-duet marches [for orchestra or wind band]. OJ 13/25, [11] Typewritten letter from Rinn to Schenker, dated June 13, 1930 Rinn hopes Schenker will soon finish his great work (i.e. Free Composition) soon and devote himself to writing for Der Kunstwart.

Bach has arrived at Hoboken’s; Deutsch would like Schenker to look at it. -- He advises Schenker to make corrections to Tomay’s calligraphy [of the voice-leading graphs] as soon as they are ready, and not to wait until September, if the "Eroica" monograph is to be published by the end of the year. OJ 9/34, [21] Handwritten letter from Cube to Schenker, dated June 25, 1930 Acknowledges OJ 5/7a, [29] and offers mitigation for Vrieslander's non-acquaintance with the Urlinie (to which Cube has just introduced new violin teachers).

OC 54/197 Handwritten letter from Georg Tomay to Schenker, dated July 1, 1930 Tomay informs Schenker that Karl Piller has been entrusted with printing the third Meisterwerk volume.

OJ 14/45, [115] Handwritten postcard from Moriz Violin to Schenker, dated July 3, 1930 Violin is spending two weeks with Karl in Schierke, in the Harz Mountains. In the fall, he will have to make a decision about what to do about his son. OC 54/310 Typewritten letter from Deutsch to Schenker, dated July 4, 1930 Deutsch gives further details of the production costs for the third Meisterwerk yearbook and makes some recommendations, including the printing of the Urlinie-Tafeln of the "Eroica" as a booklet, not as loose pages. OC 54/199-200 Handwritten letter from Georg Tomay to Schenker, dated July 9, 1930 Tomay encloses the imprints of the music examples for the third Meisterwerk volume, along with the original manuscripts, and requests clarification on various matters.

OJ 12/50, [6] Handwritten letter from Bernhard Martin to Schenker, undated [?July c.10, 1930] Bernhard Martin reports using Schenker's analysis of the Haydn E-flat major piano sonata [Tonwille 3] with his secondary school class. -- As a violinist he is working on the Brahms Op. 78 violin sonata. -- He inquires after the "Eroica monograph." -- Universal Edition has still not rectified his defective copy of Schenker's Harmonielehre. -- He asks about Furtwängler's studies with Schenker. 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. He thinks that an edition of the [collected] works of C. P. E. Bach is a worthy cause. He hopes that Hoboken will soon receive the new honor from the Austrian government, for services to scholarship. WSLB-Hds 191.565 Handwritten letter from Schenker to Deutsch, dated July 20, 1930 In this 16-page response to a letter from Deutsch, Schenker thanks his correspondent for his unstinting assistance (in relation to the third Meisterwerk yearbook) and underlines the importance of a collected edition of the works of C. 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. WSLB 421 Handwritten postcard from Schenker to Hugo Winter (UE), dated July 23, 1930 Schenker reminds Winter to send him his [half-yearly] statement.

OC 54/206 Handwritten letter from Georg Tomay to Schenker, dated July 29, 1930 Tomay responds to Schenker's questions about marking up corrections in the music examples for the third Meisterwerk volume, and notifies him that he will send blueprints of the music examples as soon as they have been produced. OC 54/315 Typewritten letter from Deutsch to Schenker, dated July 30, 1930 Deutsch makes further reports on the anticipated costs of the third Meisterwerk yearbook. -- He has come across an arrangement of Beethoven’s Op. 74 Quartet as a symphony and found some important early editions of the Op. 22 Sonata. -- He would like Schenker to meet his friend [Leopold] Liegler, whose theories about literature resonate with the concept of Urlinie. 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 191.566 Handwritten letter from Schenker to Deutsch, dated August 5, 1930 Replying to Deutsch’s letter of July 30, Schenker warmly recommends his long-standing pupil Marianne Kahn as a teacher for Deutsch’s brother. -- He then comments at length on a newspaper article by Richard Benz (of which Deutsch had sent a clipping), using a medical metaphor to describe the current pathological state of music. OC 54/316 Handwritten picture postcard from Deutsch to Schenker, dated August 11, 1930 Deutsch has received the first proofs [of the third Meisterwerk yearbook] from the printers, and would like to look carefully at them before forwarding them to Schenker.

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. WSLB-Hds 191.568 Handwritten letter from Schenker to Deutsch, dated August 23, 1930 Schenker is sending Deutsch copies of letters written by Leo Kestenberg praising his theories for their practical application to composition and performance, noting that Furtwängler is championing his cause everywhere. -- He then launches into a tirade against the city of Vienna for snubbing him and his work. OC 54/318 Typewritten picture postcard from Deutsch to Schenker, dated August 27, 1930 Deutsch has no objection to Schenker adding a note about a possible source for the “Eroica” Symphony in his notes on the text of the work. -- He is happy that reading the proofs of the third Meisterwerk yearbook has been useful. -- He suggests that the [Austrian] Minister for Education ought to see the letters that Leo Kestenberg has written about Schenker’s work. -- He asks Schenker for a possible journalist contact in Aussig. OC 54/319 Typewritten picture postcard from Deutsch to Schenker, dated August 30, 1930 Deutsch asks Schenker to suggest a time when the two of them can get together in Vienna.

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.

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.
