Correspondence

  • WSLB 66/67 Handwritten letter from Schenker to Hertzka (UE) + list of names, dated October 19, 1910

    Schenker cancels their Thursday meeting. — He argues for sweeping changes to the draft contract for Beethovens neunte Sinfonie. — He defends his own free speech in the face of Universal Edition's commercial interests. As with his Chromatic Fantasy & Fugue edition, UE will never regret publishing the Ninth Symphony monograph. — He also lauds the prospective editions of the last five Beethoven piano sonatas and volume of J. S. Bach toccatas in a lofty vision for future publications. — He appends a list of recipients of complimentary copies of the Chromatic Fantasy & Fugue.

  • OJ 9/34, [11] Handwritten letter from Cube to Schenker, dated April 24, 1928

  • WSLB-Hds 191.565 Handwritten letter from Schenker to Deutsch, dated July 20, 1930

    In this 16-page response to a letter from Deutsch, Schenker thanks his correspondent for his unstinting assistance (in relation to the third Meisterwerk yearbook) and underlines the importance of a collected edition of the works of C. P. E. Bach. — He then launches a long and detailed denunciation of Anthony van Hoboken’s character, referring in particular to his treatment of Otto Vrieslander, his ambivalence towards projects associated with the Photogram Archive, and his absconding to Berlin to study the piano with Rudolf Breithaupt; Hoboken is thoroughly undeserving of a high honor conferred by the Austrian state.
