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.

yearbook and asks Violin whether he has yet made summer plans and whether these might include a
trip to Galtür.

OC 54/108 Typed letter from Alfred Böhme (DMV) to Schenker, dated November 26, 1926
Drei Masken Verlag are not at liberty to make a direct approach to a
retailer’s customers. They suggest that Schenker contact the firm of Gutmann directly, and
that the appeal to his readers is personally composed; they will offer Gutmann a reduction
in the cost of copies ordered or sold by the firm.
