German journalist and writer on the arts, editor of the Berliner Tageblatt from 1897 for three decades, writer of many books, notably his Weg zur Kunst: Einführung in Kunst und Kunstgeschichte (Berlin: Rudolf Mosse, 1927)

Stahl and Schenker

Schenker quotes in his diary from an article by Stahl in the Berliner Tageblatt for November 21, 1911. In his diary for August 24, 1914 he expresses his agreement with an article entitled "Deutsche Form" in the Berliner Tageblatt (August 19, 1914, morning edition, p. [2]), in which Stahl talks of Germany's debt to its geniuses, especially as these are manifested in the German soldiers fighting in World War I. This article may have influenced Schenker's own unpublished article "Deutsche Genie," which he began writing on August 30, 1914.
