OJ 6/7, [8] Handwritten letter from Schenker to Moriz Violin, dated February 14, 1924
Schenker reports continuing trouble with Hertzka, especially over delays to the
publication of Tonwille 5 and 6, which were supposed to appear the previous year, and is
beginning to think about legal action. Hertzka has made his position so difficult that he feels
obliged to turn down Max Temming's offer of direct financial support for his work. He asks
Violin to help find a post in Hamburg for Carl Bamberger, a gifted pupil who, though he
neglected his piano studies for a while, is keen to make up for lost time. Finally, he asks if
Violin received any of the four volumes of the Beethoven piano sonata edition.
