Footnotes

1 See diary entries of August 8 and 20, 1933; the letter is probably from Alfred Weissberger, who ran the New School of Music and Theater Arts in Vienna with his wife Marianne Munk; two letters from Weissberger to Schenker survive (OJ 13/2).

2 Binder: it is not clear whether this refers to a binder (of flowers or brooms, or a barrel-maker), or simply a family name.
