Footnotes1 Receipt of this postcard and Schenker's response are recorded in his diary at OJ 4/4, p. 3603, April 3, 1931: "Von Weisse (K.): bittet um eine Mozart-Karte für eine Schülerin [sic]. [...] An Weisse die gewünschte Mozart-Karte." ("From Weisse (postcard): requests a Mozart card for a female pupil [sic]. [...]To Weisse, the requested Mozart card."). 2 Copies of the calling card bearing an excerpt from the (forged) Mozart letter much discussed in the 1931 correspondence, that Schenker had had produced by Jahoda & Siegel and was currently distributing to pupils and associates. No copy is currently known to survive. 3 Weisse is writing on Good Friday, Easter Sunday being April 5 in 1931. |
