Footnotes

1 “Umstellungen”: although this could carry a technical meaning (e.g. “transpositions” “inversions,” or changes of function), it may refer more simply to changes of musical material that have been presented previously in a piece. (Despite the reference to earlier lessons, the word ”Umstellung” does not appear earlier in this or in previous lessonbooks since Weisse’s first lesson notes in January 1912.)

2 On February 9, Weisse was studying Chapter III of C. P. E. Bach, Essay on the True Art of Playing Keyboard Instruments, Eng. transl. William J. Mitchell (New York: W. W. Norton; London: Cassell, 1949; London: Eulenburg, 1974), pp. 209–22 "The Chord of the Sixth." The lesson note for February 23 has him working on this chapter and moving on to Chapter IV, "The Diminished Triad."
