Correspondence

  • OJ 10/3, [7] Handwritten letter from Otto Erich Deutsch Deutsch to Schenker, dated January 16, 1920

    Deutsch will write to the Beethoven House in Bonn to seek permission to reproduce the manuscript of the "Moonlight" Sonata. He suggests using the first edition as the source for the missing opening and closing bars, and asks Schenker to refrain from polemics in his commentary. Copies of the manuscripts of Beethoven's piano sonatas Opp. 28, 109, 110 and 111 should not be difficult to obtain, and he has made inquiries regarding the manuscripts of Beethoven's Piano Sonata Op. 106 and Mozart's A minor Rondo K. 511.

  • OC B/190 Handwritten postcard from Wilhelm Altmann to Schenker, postmarked June 15, 1925

    Altmann thanks Schenker for the medallion; he will be unable to visit Galtür.

  • OJ 10/3, [104] Typewritten letter from Deutsch to Schenker, dated July 28, 1929

    In a long letter, Deutsch thanks Schenker for encouraging him to apply for the post of Head Archivist at the Gesellschaft der Musikfreunde following the death of the previous postholder, Eusebius Mandyczewski, on July 13. He comments on the present state of play at the Archive, above all on its insecure position. — He also expresses his regret that Austrian Radio is no longer interested in his “Chamber Ensemble” broadcasts with professors from the Vienna Academy, and that some of the players are no longer enthusiastic about them; he hopes to start a new initiative of that sort in the autumn. — He is in good standing with Hoboken, but the work on his private library is not bringing him rewards. — He enjoyed his recent trip to Italy, and thinks that he might have become an art historian had he gotten to know the country earlier.
