1923
In a wide-ranging letter, Schenker expresses his joy at Karl Violin’s improving
health, and goes on to mention a number of personal successes he has lately had, including a
visit from Paul von Klenau to take advice for a forthcoming performance of Beethoven’s Missa
solemnis. He has also had some unexpected support from his publisher, who wants to expand Der
Tonwille to a quarterly publication. He is planning to take part in a series of charity concerts
(three Haydn piano trios), and has heard that Clemens Kraus and Hans Knappertsbusch are
overtaking Furtwängler as conductors in Vienna by accepting more modest fees.
