Correspondence

No correspondence between Carl Meinert and Schenker is known to survive, but Meinert is several times mentioned in Schenker correspondence (e. g. WSLB 191.579, June 25, 1913, to Otto Erich Deutsch; WSLB 210, May 2, 1914, to Emil Hertzka; OC B/176, November 18, 1913, from Alfred Kopfermann to Schenker).

Two letters from Max Meinert, Carl Meinert's brother and heir, to Schenker do, however, survive.
