Footnotes

¹ Schenker’s diary for this day records: “Weisse arrives, by his own admission, a good half-hour too early, as he had something to ask me. The wretched boy did not have the heart to use his own lesson time also for the questions relating to his doctorate in music, and was willing, despite repeated warnings on my part, to expect 1½ hours instead of an hour from me. It was pure coincidence, which has punished him by itself.”

² Herman Roth, ed., 25 Geistliche Lieder (aus dem Schemellischen Gesangbuch) für eine Singstimme und basso continuo (Leipzig: C. F. Peters, [n.d.]), a copy of which, with annotations in Schenker's hand, is preserved at OJ 25/1. No. 11 "Beschränkt, ihr Weisen dieser Welt."
