Footnotes

1 According to the radio listings in the Neue freie Presse, this was the première of Karl Rosner’s Harlekinade for violin and orchestra. Josef Holzer conducted the radio orchestra of the Vienna Symphony, with Rosner as soloist.

2 This letter, written because Wolf was refused entry into Austria (see diary entry for September 25), is not known to survive.
