OJ 14/45, [69] Handwritten letter from Violin to Schenker, dated December 27, 1927
Violin reports that his concert (cello recital) has been put back a week
because of a tendon problem in his left hand. He owes Otto Vrieslander a response to his
recent written work, but he feels that Vrieslander does not truly understand Schenker's
cause, does not have the same "orientation" towards it as he, and expresses himself poorly.
(Weisse, he says, could have done things better.) However, all this pettiness is nothing
compared with the achievement of Meisterwerk 2, and of the "crowning" work that will soon
follow.

OJ 6/7, [36] Handwritten letter from Schenker to Moriz Violin, dated December 29, 1927
Sending greetings for the New Year, Schenker expresses the hope that his
friend's fortunes will begin to improve in 1928. He agrees with Violin's pronouncements on
Vrieslander’s character and ability to convey Schenker's thoughts, and has no idea of what
to expect in Vrieslander's (supposedly) forthcoming monograph on him. Weisse, whom he
regards as a more skilled interpreter of his work, has announced plans for a monthly
journal, Die Tonkunst, to be edited with his pupils Oswald Jonas and Felix Salzer, which
will be based exclusively on Schenker's theoretical approach. But he is afraid that Weisse
might leave Vienna, to teach at Damrosch's music school.
