WSLB-Hds 94475 Handwritten letter from Schenker to Seligmann, undated [probably early July 1909] Schenker asks Seligmann to read an essay on Byron’s Manfred and, if he thinks it worthy of publication, to send a letter of reference to one or other Viennese newspaper. He also expresses his satisfaction at how his career is shaping: he has requested and received generous fees for the editions he has prepared for Universal Edition, and his theoretical writings for Cotta are also moving along. WSLB-Hds 94476 Handwritten letter from Schenker to Seligmann, dated July 17, 1909 Schenker thanks Seligmann for helping him to get a friend’s essay on Byron’s Manfred published in a Viennese newspaper.

Op. 109. — He agrees in principle to Hertzka's idea of an "Urlinie-Ausgabe" of the Beethoven sonatas, and agrees to announce it in Tonwille 2, but asks how the first seventeen sonatas are to be done retrospectively, and rejects the suggestion that his pupils might make the preparatory graphs. OJ 6/7, [3] Handwritten letter from Schenker to Moriz Violin, dated May 6, 1922 This wide-ranging letter describes the difficulties encountered with Emil Hertzka at Universal Edition, concerning an attack on the music critic Paul Bekker planned for the "Miscellanea" of Tonwille 2. — He expresses his displeasure with Weisse for putting his success as a composer in the way of aiding his teacher's cause, and for exploiting his teacher's generosity. — Ends with generous praise for Violin's musicianship. OJ 6/7, [6] Handwritten letter from Heinrich Schenker to Moriz Violin, dated July 20, 1923 Schenker describes his efforts to make Der Tonwille more widely read, through its distribution by his pupils and its display in music shop windows. He needs more help from pupils and friends with the dissemination of his work, but complains that Hans Weisse has let him down on more than one occasion by not writing about his work.

Like Violin, he has lost pupils recently, and so wants to concentrate more on the dissemination of Der Tonwille, with a new publisher. OJ 10/3, [97] Typewritten picture postcard from Deutsch to Schenker, dated February 12, 1929 Deutsch thanks Schenker for his recent postcard, then describes the circumstances of his recent and forthcoming radio programs, which include a series of concerts given by a “Kammerensemble” (chamber group) which includes professors from the Vienna Academy.
