Footnotes

1 Henrik Ibsen in fact died on March 23, 1906. The first performance of Wild Duck was given at the Theater an der Wien on May 23, as reported in the Neue freie Presse on that date, and retrospectively on May 24 in which review it records Ibsen's death. Hence Schenker simply has the date wrong.
