We are expecting to remain here for a few extra weeks, and I fear that [?any] printed materials, 3 [continued in left margin sideways:] like a [2 illeg. words], will not get forwarded to here but will be delivered to my Lichter- [end marginalia] {recto} -felde home, where they will then lie until our return. Once again, accept thanks and most cordial greetings! As to my health, there is little cheerful news to report. © Translation Ian Bent, 2018 |

G. Cotta to Schenker report that a complimentary copy of his newly published Kontrapunkt I had been dispatched to Rudorff on October 4, 1910 to his Grosslichterfelde address (OJ 9/31, [27] and [28], October 4 and 15); and on October 19, 1910, in a letter to Universal Edition (WSLB 66/67), Schenker included Rudorff's name in a recipient list for a complimentary copy of his edition the Chromatic Fantasy and Fugue , giving Lauenstein as the address. |
