12 Sunday, very nice.

— To Dr. Kalmus (letter): regarding the gatherings 11 – 12½ 1 that the printer has identified as heavily corrected, I note that I could not let the experiences from the last three years go unused. — To Hans Guttmann (letter): have received the confirmation. — To Jetty's, who is alone. — 4:30–6:15 for a walk in Maria-Josepha-Park and Belvedere; Mr. and Mrs. Mitrenger in their Sunday best, long conversation with them.

Footnotes

1 Of Kontrapunkt 2; it is unclear what Schenker means by "11 – ½13"; perhaps the whole of gathering 11 and the first half of 12, or alternatively 11-12 and the first half of 13. (Gatherings 11–13 cover pp. 161–208, and the major section "Übergänge zum freien Satz" begins on p. 169.) Since Schenker's letter is not known to survive, it is impossible to clarify. The diary for April 5 speaks of gathering 13 as a whole.
