FS 40/27, [1] Handwritten letter from Weisse to Schenker, dated October 12, 1925
Weisse has come across a letter from Haydn to Carl Friedrich Zelter expressing
gratitude and admiration for Zelter's analysis of "The Representation of Chaos" from The
Creation, and thinks that it might be worth looking up Zelter's work in connection with
Schenker's forthcoming study of the same work.

FS 40/27, [2] Handwritten letter from Weisse to Schenker, dated October 17, 1925
Weisse has found Zelter's review of Haydn's Creation and has copied out the
section concerned with "The Representation of Chaos." He finds nothing of value in the
review, but says it must have pleased Haydn because it shows that the composer was entirely
conscious of how he went about writing the work.

In this wide-ranging letter, Schenker commiserates with Violin about the high

portrait, made by Viktor Hammer, of which his brother Moses Schenker has bought the original
drawing. Vrieslander will write an essay about his work in Die Musik, accompanied by the
