I am incensed to learn that the Academy has already made some six (!!!!) “new † appointments,” that our friend, the Counselor Karpath, has lied wretchedly: Cahir, Scholz, G. Steiner, Mildenburg, Hubermann, etc., etc. 2 Korngold and Auernhammer have left. Zuckerkandl is likewise in Berlin. 3 Our dear Wolf’s (utterly innocent) grubbing after the Urlinie, even with you, is something that I ask you not to take seriously; I, too, {recto} am accustomed to saying in such cases: “No!” I must see this precisely; I cannot however, take up all the literature. Enough! © Translation William Drabkin, 2016 |

Footnotes1 Writing of this letter is recorded in Schenker's diary for October 26, 1933: “An Floriz (K.): über Wolf.” (“To Floriz (postcard): concerning Wolf.”). 2 At the Akademie, according to Ernst Tittel, Die Musik Hochschule (Vienna: Lafite, 1967), Sascha Cahier taught the vocal masterclass 1927–38, Arthur Johannes Scholz theory 1941–45(?), Georg Steiner violin 1933–39, Anna Bahr-Mildenburg drama 1942–44(?), Bronislaw Hubermann violin 1934–36. 3 At the Akademie, Erich Wolfgang Korngold taught opera 1930–31. Viktor Zuckerkandl had worked as a music critic in Berlin 1927–33, then taught briefly at the Akademie (not listed in Tittel). — At this point, Schenker inserts an emdash and continues without paragraph-break. |
