OJ 6/7, [7] Handwritten letter from Heinrich Schenker to Moriz Violin, dated October 21,
1923
In a wide-ranging letter, Schenker expresses his joy at Karl Violin’s improving
health, and goes on to mention a number of personal successes he has lately had, including a
visit from Paul von Klenau to take advice for a forthcoming performance of Beethoven’s Missa
solemnis. He has also had some unexpected support from his publisher, who wants to expand Der
Tonwille to a quarterly publication. He is planning to take part in a series of charity concerts
(three Haydn piano trios), and has heard that Clemens Kraus and Hans Knappertsbusch are
overtaking Furtwängler as conductors in Vienna by accepting more modest fees.

OJ 10/3, [119] Typewritten letter from Deutsch to Schenker, dated February 26, 1930
In contrast to the uprightness of Schenker’s other pupils, Hans Weisse and
Felix Salzer, Hoboken is described by Deutsch as an unsteady, unfocussed person who may yet
be able to do some good but whose restlessness gives him grounds to fear for the future of
his library, and his own future.
