Correspondence

  • OJ 10/1, [30] Handwritten letter from Dahms to Schenker, dated July 10, 1917

    Dahms decries democracy's reliance on the "common man" and deplores its disregard of intellectuals and artists.

  • OJ 6/7, [4] Handwritten letter from Schenker to Moriz Violin, dated December 21, 1922

    Schenker reports the imminent publication of Tonwille 3, and some new publishing ventures, including a (new) edition of music by C. P. E. Bach and an "Urlinie Edition" of the Short Preludes by J. S. Bach.

  • OJ 15/16, [94] Handwritten letter from Hans Weisse to Schenker, dated March 15, 1934

    Weisse apologizes for long silence, largely on account of depression at the lack of enrollment at Mannes and of enthusiasm for his recently published Violin Sonata. — At Mannes he lectures about his own work, because it is important to show how Schenkerian theory can have a practical application for composers; his pupil Israel Citkowitz is the only cause for optimism. — At Columbia University, where he "smuggles" Schenkerian theory into his lectures, enrolment continues to be large. — He sends a copy of his Violin Sonata, and promises his Variations on a Popular American Song. — He is not coming to Europe this summer. — Universal Edition is going ahead with a schools' version of Schenker's Harmonielehre, but he is surprised that Alfred Kalmus expects him to be involved in an American edition of this.
