June 1, 1908] Responding to Grunsky's request, Schenker gives his assessment of Bruckner's music. First exploring common ground between him and Grunsky, he then offers "technical reasons" why he regards Bruckner as "possessing minimal powers of invention," therefore cannot call him a "master." In the process, he compares the "Komponisten" (composers) of the present day unfavorably with the "Tonsetzer" (tonal craftsmen) of the past. WSLB-Hds 94476 Handwritten letter from Schenker to Seligmann, dated July 17, 1909 Schenker thanks Seligmann for helping him to get a friend’s essay on Byron’s Manfred published in a Viennese newspaper. He then asks whether it would be possible to make a judgment about painters, and paintings, on purely objective grounds, as he (Schenker) has been aiming to do with composers and musical works. WSLB 132 Handwritten letter from Schenker to Hertzka (UE), dated August 25, 1912 Schenker returns the contract for Die letzten fünf Sonaten von Beethoven signed. — Proclaiming "Ex Austria lux," he says that Austria's tradition from Haydn to Brahms and Dvořák[sic] will now be followed by Schenker's "explanation" (Aufklärung) of that tradition, which will spawn a new generation of composers superior to the present "cacophony," with Universal Edition as the agent of that "rebuilding of tonal music" (Aufbau der Tonkunst). — He alludes to the possibility of teaching for the Gesellschaft der Musikfreunde's proposed "Hochschule." — He prompts Hertzka to act on the Organization of Musicians project in the fall. OJ 14/45, [61] Handwritten letter from Moriz Violin to Schenker, dated February 23, 1927 Following a brief description of a recent illness, Violin replies to Schenker's question about accepting the Order of Merit from the Viennese Academy of Art and Science and advises him to accept it. He realizes that staying in Hamburg would be bad for his son's long-term health and has spoken to Artur Schnabel about the possibility of moving to Berlin or Frankfurt. An influential man in Frankfurt is the father-in-law of Paul Klenau; Violin knows of Klenau's respect for Schenker, and asks his friend to write to Klenau in support of his application for a post there. OJ 5/11, [1a] First draft of a handwritten letter from Schenker to Furtwängler, in Jeanette Schenker’s hand, dated November 11‒16, 1931 OJ 5/11, [1b] Second draft of a handwritten letter from Schenker to Furtwängler in Jeanette and Heinrich Schenker’s hand, dated November 11‒16, 1931 OJ 12/6, [19] Handwritten letter from Jonas to Schenker, dated January 28, 1933 Jonas still has no response from Hoboken re: his Einführung; encloses four essays; reports on forthcoming article, his teaching and advocacy of critical editions, planned radio lectures and performance, and other work.
