Jenny Schiff (by first marriage: Kornfeld; by second marriage: Schenker) was born in Aussig, and remained there through most of her first marriage, to Emil Kornfeld, from 1893 to 1910. During the period 1910–19, her petition for separation, and her tax affairs, were conducted through Aussig and Leitmeritz, as reported in Schenker's diaries. Emil Kornfeld had his company, trading in petroleum, oil and grease, in Aussig, and his two sons, Erich and Felix were born and grew up in Aussig, and it is probable that Heinrich Schenker visited the family there in the years between c.1893 and 1910.

OJ 6/7, [49] Handwritten letter from Schenker to Moriz Violin, dated July 10, 1930 Acknowledging his recent letter to Jeanette, Schenker expresses his regret that Violin and his son Karl are still troubled by health problems and reports some recent news. Furtwängler's intervention with Breitkopf & Härtel on behalf of Weisse's Octet was in vain; he had also sought the same firm's agreement to publish the "Eroica" analysis, but this will now appear as the third Meisterwerk Yearbook. The Schenkers are expecting many visitors in Galtür, including Furtwängler, Reinhard Oppel, Schenker's nephew and his wife, and Jeanette's sister and family. Hoboken is prepared to fund the publication of a collected edition of the works of C. P. E. Bach (with financial support from the city of Hamburg), but Schenker is cautious about this because his paid involvement in the project might result in work that would jeopardize progress on Der freie Satz. He has been included in the latest edition of Meyers Konversations-Lexicon, and has received favorable citation in Romain Rolland's latest Beethoven book.
