Fees for lessons for Miss Weber and also Hans Wolf are discussed in several letters and postcards from Schenker to Violin: OJ 6/8, [23], May 3, OJ 6/8, [24], May 9, OJ 6/8, [25], September 23, and OJ 8/5, [20], September 26, 1933. Contributor Ian Bent Downloads temporarily removed for testing purposes Correspondence OJ 6/8, [23] Handwritten letter from Schenker to Violin, dated May 3, 1933 Preparing for Violin’s arrival, Schenker proposes that he ask the same lesson fee that his friend would ask, 25–30 shillings per hour, for any new pupils he takes on. (He will charge Miss Weber less, Hans Wolf perhaps a bit more.) Wolf will get tuition in theory, but continue to study the piano with Violin. OJ 6/8, [24] Handwritten letter from Schenker to Violin, dated May 9, 1933 Schenker suggests a possible time for Wolf’s first lesson, and a schedule for him and Miss Weber. He is surprised to hear that Violin is thinking of emigrating to Palestine, and suggests that the Jews there should come to Vienna to study with himself as a “first-class Jew.” Their summer plans are not yet fixed. OJ 8/5, [19] Handwritten postcard from Schenker to Violin, postmarked September 15, 1933 Schenker explains to Violin the terms under which he will accept Hans Wolf and Miss Weber as pupils during the 1933–34 teaching year, setting out his core theory curriculum and demanding two lessons per week.
