OJ 10/1, [79] Handwritten letter from Dahms to Schenker, dated November 1, 1923

Dahms has devoted a chapter of his Musik des Südens to "genius" in which he asserts its absoluteness and the gulf between genius and mediocrity. — He concurs with Hertzka's judgement of Furtwängler as a "coward"; In his quest for success, the latter has compromised his belief in genius by pandering to Schoenberg.

After thanking Violin for his touching fiftieth-birthday tribute of 1918, Schenker outlines plans for sending out copies of Der Tonwille: he has drawn up a list, which Violin is free to edit.

OJ 6/7, [10] Handwritten letter from Schenker to Moriz Violin, dated October 26, 1924

Schenker names ten universities that should receive complimentary copies of Der Tonwille, explaining that university music departments (Seminare) are more suitable recipients than conservatories and other types of music schools.

In this wide-ranging letter, Schenker commiserates with Violin about the high cost of living, and his inability to raise his fees to keep up with it (in particular, he feels unable to ask the wealthy Hoboken to pay more than his other pupils). He reports on sales of a medallion bearing his image, and the imminent arrival of a mezzotint of his 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 portrait, and things are now going well with the corrections to Meisterwerk 1 and the writing of Meisterwerk 2.

Violin reports on having moved to a new apartment, no longer on the ground floor, which his sister and (especially) a friend in Berlin named Martha Loeb have helped to finance. He is amused what Schenker told him about his letter from Hindemith, whose words, he believes, ought to be taken at face value.

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.

In advance of seeing Klenau, Schenker reports on a meeting with Wilhelm Altmann and Ludwig Rottenberg, who believe that only people under 30 years old are likely to be appointed to a post of the sort that Violin is seeking in Frankfurt – a situation that he finds appalling.

OJ 14/45, [63] Handwritten letter from Violin to Schenker, dated March 31, 1927

OJ 6/7, [44] Handwritten letter from Schenker to Violin, dated November 24, 1929

After reply to some of the more personal points in Violin's previous letter, Schenker welcomes his friend's efforts to look for a publisher for the Eroica Symphony monograph, noting that, in spite of the difficulties that Hertzka has caused him, his books are still in print and his status as a theorist has been acknowledged by the the fact that the universities of Heidelberg and Leipzig have expressed an interest in appointing him. A recent article in the Deutsche Tonkünstler-Zeitung will give Violin further ammunition when approaching a publisher. That same issue also contains an article by Schoenberg touching on various canonic works (Bach, Prelude in C sharp minor for the Well-Tempered Clavier, Book 1; Beethoven, Seventh Symphony, finale; Mozart, slow introduction to the "Dissonant" Quartet). He feels that it is beneath his dignity to make a formal reply; but to illustrate what he means, and why he is contemptuous of Schoenberg, he provides several voice-leading graphs and other music examples concerning these works.

OJ 10/3, [114] Typewritten letter from Deutsch to Schenker, dated January 21, 1930

Deutsch explains that, without a fixed annual budget, the Board of Trustees [of the Photogram Archive] is unable to function properly. Hoboken didn’t always deal efficiently with the foreign contributors to the collection; a catalogue has still not been prepared. And Deutsch has made himself ill by overwork. Hedwig Kraus has taken over the directorship of the Archive of the Gesellschaft der Musikfreunde, with [Karl] Geiringer as her assistant – to whom Deutsch would have greatly preferred Luithlen. He has been exchanging letters with Vrieslander.

OJ 14/45, [83] Handwritten letter from Violin to Schenker, dated January 24, 1930

Violin has learned that the proprietor of Rather-Verlag is unwell, and that there would be no chance of Schenker's having his "Eroica" Symphony monograph published there.

He is going to Berlin to investigate possible employment there.

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.

OJ 6/7, [47] Handwritten letter from Schenker to Violin, dated March 2, 1930

Schenker reports on two concerts at which Hans Weisse's Octet was performed for the first time. Furtwängler was enchanted by it, Schenker was impressed by the quality of the voice-leading in general, the construction of the finale movement (a passacaglia) in particular. He was touched to see that a pupil of Weisse's, Dr. Felix Salzer, had subvented the cost of the rehearsals and concerts, and the provision of food and drink for the audience; this he compared with Antony van Hoboken's reluctance to help him with the publication costs of his recent work.

OJ 10/3, [121] Typewritten picture postcard from Deutsch to Schenker, dated March 5, 1930

OJ 6/7, [48] Handwritten letter from Schenker to Moriz Violin, dated May 19, [1930]

After congratulating Violin on moving house, Schenker reports that an article that is critical of the "Urlinie", by Walter Riezler, has apparently offended Furtwängler, a childhood friend of the author. Furtwängler hoped that Hans Weisse might write a response; in the end, Brünauer wrote one, and Weisse has sent it to Furtwängler. Schenker has himself replied to an article by Eduard Beninger in the February 1930 issue of the Zeitschrift für Musik. Owing to overwork, he was required to rest during the day between lessons; now he is better. Oppel is again coming to Galtür and Schenker hopes that Violin will join him there, too.

WSLB-Hds 191.565 Handwritten letter from Schenker to Deutsch, dated July 20, 1930

In this 16-page response to a letter from Deutsch, Schenker thanks his correspondent for his unstinting assistance (in relation to the third Meisterwerk yearbook) and underlines the importance of a collected edition of the works of C. P. E. Bach. — He then launches a long and detailed denunciation of Anthony van Hoboken’s character, referring in particular to his treatment of Otto Vrieslander, his ambivalence towards projects associated with the Photogram Archive, and his absconding to Berlin to study the piano with Rudolf Breithaupt; Hoboken is thoroughly undeserving of a high honor conferred by the Austrian state.

OJ 6/7, [50] Handwritten letter from Schenker to Moriz Violin, dated July 31, 1930

Schenker assures his friend that he understands his difficulties, and that he can be proud of holding his head high above those who do not understand music, or are incapable of interpreting it beautifully. His own problems are focussed around money, especially as his brother (Moses) has not given him the second part of his inheritance. He has sought to find cheaper ways of producing the music examples for his latest writings: he is more satisfied with the Eroica examples than the engraved illustrations from previous volumes of Das Meisterwerk in der Musik, and is planning to issue Der freie Satz with a volume of examples that is separate from the text. He repeats the news, from an earlier letter, of his being mentioned in Romain Rolland's most recent Beethoven book, and of his entry in Meyers Konversations-Lexicon, and also reports on an item about him in the Deutsche Tonkünstler-Lexikon.

WSLB-Hds 191.568 Handwritten letter from Schenker to Deutsch, dated August 23, 1930

OJ 14/45, [87] Handwritten letter from Moriz Violin to Schenker, dated October 13, 1930

Violin has just heard that Hans Weisse will be lecturing in Berlin in December; he plans to go there to hear him. His pupil Agnes Becker, returning from a trip to London, has discovered that Schenker's Beethoven sonata edition is much in demand, especially from students at the Royal Academy of Music.

OJ 6/7, [51] Handwritten letter, with envelope, from Schenker to Violin, dated October 21, 1930

Writing after a long and serious illness, Schenker assures his friend that he is alive and well. The doctors have pronounced him generally fit, but he suffers from a painful tightening of the thorax, and also a flickering that causes him to "lose" letters and notes. He has had to give many double-lessons of late, in theory, which he finds tiring. To Hoboken, who, though gifted, is concerned only about his money and often comes to lessons without having prepared anything, he would rather play than give over-long lectures. He is concerned, for his own sake as much as for Weisse's, about the lectures in Berlin that Weisse will deliver, and about his eagerness to debate with Alfred Lorenz; he is glad that Violin is going to Berlin, and will give him instructions about what to do there. His Beethoven sonata edition brings in 100 shillings per month – a good deal for the publishers – and his brother still has half of his inheritance. But he is still alive – with Der freie Satz.

Dr. Leo Kestenberg of the Prussian Ministry of Art and Education has, at Furtwangler's recommendation, asked Hans Weisse to deliver three lectures on Schenker's theory in Berlin, to be repeated elsewhere. Cube should take heart from this turn of events.

Letters of thanks to Schenker from other Berlin musicians have not led to more solid connections. Most musicians have not dared to take a position publicly on Schenker's teaching.

OJ 6/7, [52] Letter from Schenker to Moriz Violin, in Jeanette Schenker's hand, dated November 26, 1930

Schenker summarizes the achievements and ambitions of several of his pupils and followers (Albersheim, Cube, Vrieslander, Roth, Jonas, and Weisse), noting that Weisse is the most ambitious of all of these though he is not completely at home in the new theory. He fears that something might go wrong at Weisse's forthcoming lecture at the Central Institute for Music Education, and hopes that Violin will listen with a sharp ear. Weisse will give a trial run of the lecture at the Schenkers' apartment.

OJ 15/16, [65] Handwritten letter from Weisse to Schenker, dated November 27, 1930

Weisse thanks Schenker for the essay "Rameau oder Beethoven?". He is surprised to hear that Jonas has sought Schenker's help in finding employment, and urges Schenker not to write a letter of recommendation until a concrete piece of work materializes. He is about to go to Berlin to deliver two lectures on Schenker's theories, and has heard that Moriz Violin and Reinhard Oppel will be there; he would like to give one of these lectures at Schenker's home before a small audience of his most dedicated pupils, and suggests a date and time for this.

OJ 12/6, [5] Handwritten letter from Jonas to Schenker, dated November 28, 1930

Jonas regrets any misunderstanding over his request for "a few lines of recommendation"; he had intended only to ask for "general lines," not recommendations to individuals. Jonas clarifies Schenker's confusion over his Munich lecture, and points to his devotion to Schenker's cause for fifteen years, stating what he considers to be the core of Schenker's thought as he would publicly represent it.

Hearing that Schenker expects to complete Der freie Satz by early spring, Weisse encourages his teacher to work systematically and unhurriedly at it. He reports on Alfred Einstein’s defense of Schenker’s theories against Arnold Schering, and on a review of a recent book on the Ninth Symphony in which the reviewer, Alfred Lorenz, sided with the author against Schenker.

OJ 6/8, [1] Handwritten letter from Schenker to Violin, dated January 9, 1931

In this long and wide-ranging two-part letter, which includes a graphic analysis of J. S. Bach’s Two-part Invention in E-flat major, Schenker praises the work of Hans Weisse, who has recently returned from lecturing in Berlin and may be offered a post there (on Furtwängler’s recommendation), emigrate to America (with the help of Gerald Warburg), or even found an institute that would give employment to Felix Salzer and other Schenkerian disciples under one roof. — A letter from Violin, which has just arrived in the morning post, speaks of Violin’s own intention to establish a Schenker Institute in Hamburg. For this, Schenker recommends Felix-Eberhard von Cube (in preference to Reinhard Oppel) and Otto Vrieslander as possible theory teachers, if not Weisse himself. — The letter concludes with a tirade against those who have caused him financial misery (including his brother Mozio), culminating in a cynical passage in which Schenker advises his friend to look after himself and engage some dull pedagog to teach conventional theory. In the end, he wishes Violin luck with the enterprise, and thanks him for having helped rescue him from Hertzka’s clutches.

OJ 10/1, [104] Typewritten letter from Dahms to Schenker, dated February 7, 1931

WSLB-Hds 94479 Handwritten letter from Schenker to Seligmann, dated February 26, 1931

Schenker asks Seligmann to read the opening essay in the third volume of Das Meisterwerk in der Musik. He quotes from a letter to his pupil Hans Weisse which demonstrates the attention his theories have been gaining in Germany, especially Berlin, and expresses his regret that no one in Vienna shows similar respect for him.

OJ 15/16, [70] Handwritten letter from Weisse to Schenker, dated March 21, 1931

Weisse reports to Schenker Furtwängler's confidence about obtaining money from two wealthy people in Berlin to defray the publication costs of Der freie Satz and the analysis of Beethoven’s "Eroica" Symphony, i.e. third volume of Das Meisterwerk in der Musik. Weisse has suggested a sum of 4,000 marks for the former, as a conservative estimate.

OJ 15/16, [71] Handwritten letter from Weisse to Schenker, dated March 25, 1931

Weisse, remaining confident that Furtwängler will provide financial assistance with Schenker’s publications, thinks it is best to ask for help with the “Eroica” analysis (Meisterwerk III) and Der freie Satz together; he will emphasize that the subvention for the “Eroica” is the more urgent, and the cost of publishing the latter could be met by subscription. From what Furtwängler has hinted, the prospects for Weisse lecturing, and eventually teaching, in Berlin are not good; but Weisse may have other plans.

OJ 5/7a, [35] (formerly vC 35) Handwritten letter from Schenker to Cube, dated March 28, 1931
