June 1, 1908] Responding to Grunsky's request, Schenker gives his assessment of Bruckner's music. First exploring common ground between him and Grunsky, he then offers "technical reasons" why he regards Bruckner as "possessing minimal powers of invention," therefore cannot call him a "master." In the process, he compares the "Komponisten" (composers) of the present day unfavorably with the "Tonsetzer" (tonal craftsmen) of the past. OC B/273 Typewritten letter from Louis Koch to Schenker, dated October 23, 1913 Koch lists the Beethoven manuscript items in his possession. WSLB 305 Handwritten letter from Schenker to Hertzka (UE), dated December 21, 1919 Schenker informs Hertzka that he has ordered two more Beethoven sketchbooks in connection with Op. 101, and asks him for some other "apportionment," which will protect him from long-term deterioration of the exchange rate. OJ 11/32, [13] Typed letter from Robert Haas to Schenker, dated December 22, 1932 Haas gives information about an early copy of a Beethoven score.
