Footnotes

1 Apfelfest: a word used by the Schenkers for the anniversary of their relationship: Jeanette left her husband and their sons on September 30, 1910, and moved to Vienna to be with Heinrich. September 30, 1934, thus marks the 24th anniversary of this day.

2 According to the program listings in the September 21, 1934, issue of Radio Wien (pp. 62 and 84), this was a radio potpourri put together by Lothar Riedinger entitled "From Bisamberg to the Whole World," with a prologue by Margarete Witzmann; numerous soloists and ensembles, under the direction of Josef Holzer, performed Austrian folk songs and dances.
