WSLB 120 Handwritten letter from Schenker to Hertzka (UE), dated June 9, 1912

A long letter, biblical in tone, in which Schenker prophesies that a "Flood of the moderns" will come to pass, and in Noah's ark his works will "occupy the place of honor," and that a "bright new light" will establish Universal Edition as superior to the German publishers. He accepts Hertzka's terms for the Beethoven Last Five Sonatas edition for now. He again urges Hertzka to contact Dr. Harpner regarding the planned Organization of Creative and Performing Musicians. He encourages Hertzka to deal more generously with Hans Weisse.

OJ 15/16, [93] Handwritten letter from Hans Weisse to Schenker, dated July 27, 1933

Weisse thanks Schenker for a copy of an (unidentified) essay; he is preoccupied by news of his father's death, and reports that the year ahead will be a difficult one for America, in spite of the more optimistic mood that has come about since Roosevelt became President. He has completed a Variations and Fugue on a Popular American Song, for two pianos, and is now at work on a new string quartet.

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.

The Weisses have spent a lovely summer by the sea, in the midst of unspoiled nature, and he has completed a set of five six-voice madrigals on Goethe texts and a string quartet. He reports and laments his mother’s death.
