Footnotes

1 This entry refers to Heinrich Schenker, "Erinnerungen an Brahms," Deutsche Zeitschrift, 46. Jahrgang des Kunstwarts, Heft 8 (May 1933), pp. 475–82.

2 The notated materials are not filed with the letter (OJ 9/34, [36], May 1, 1933), but they concern the first movement of Beethoven’s Piano Sonata in A-flat major, Op. 26. Schenker’s reply (OJ 5/7a, [45], May 6) and Cube's next letter (OJ 9/34, [37], May 11) contain graphs and discussion of that movement. For an interpretation of these documents, see William Drabkin, "Schenker, the Consonant Passing Note, and the First-Movement Theme of Beethoven’s Sonata Op. 26," Music Analysis 15/2–3 (1996), pp. 149–89.
