OJ 15/16, [96] Handwritten letter from Hertha Weisse to Jeanette Schenker, dated February 21, 1935
In this letter of condolence, sent together with one by Hans, Hertha Weisse explains that the obituary of Schenker in the New York Times by Olin Downes, though based partly on information supplied by Hans, was hastily written and contains many errors. A pupil of Hans [Adele Katz] has prepared an article on Schenker's theory, which will soon be published in an American music journal.
OJ 15/16, [97] Handwritten letter from Hans Weisse to Jeanette Schenker, dated February 21, 1935
In a letter of condolence to Schenker's widow, Weisse expresses his distress at having, within the space of two years, lost his parents and now his spiritual father. He offers to help Jeanette and Oswald Jonas read the proofs for Der freie Satz; but he cannot afford to come to Europe in the summer, as the Mannes College can guarantee only half his salary for next year. He asks her to send him a memento of her husband, and to consider entrusting to him the care of some of Schenker's unpublished work.
