OJ 6/7, [44] Handwritten letter from Schenker to Violin, dated November 24, 1929
After reply to some of the more personal points in Violin's previous letter,
Schenker welcomes his friend's efforts to look for a publisher for the Eroica Symphony
monograph, noting that, in spite of the difficulties that Hertzka has caused him, his books
are still in print and his status as a theorist has been acknowledged by the the fact that
the universities of Heidelberg and Leipzig have expressed an interest in appointing him. A
recent article in the Deutsche Tonkünstler-Zeitung will give Violin further ammunition when
approaching a publisher. That same issue also contains an article by Schoenberg touching on
various canonic works (Bach, Prelude in C sharp minor for the Well-Tempered Clavier, Book 1;
Beethoven, Seventh Symphony, finale; Mozart, slow introduction to the "Dissonant" Quartet).
He feels that it is beneath his dignity to make a formal reply; but to illustrate what he
means, and why he is contemptuous of Schoenberg, he provides several voice-leading graphs
and other music examples concerning these works.
