Brünauer, Dr. Robert Brünauer was a piano pupil of Schenker’s over a period spanning at least 1912 to 1932 (Lesson Books: OC 3/1–4), and personal lesson notes exist for him for 1931–32 (OC 16/19–24, 47). Brünauer was a chocolate manufacturer, and made Schenker an offer of 5,000 Kroner should he need it; he also introduced Schenker to the artist Viktor Hammer (Federhofer, Nach Tagebüchern, pp.38–9). He is mentioned in Schenker’s diary from 1906: Schenker visits his home, and is in his company at the home of others. Correspondence between Robert Brünauer and Schenker survives: OC 52/638, July 25, 1924 (receipt for purchase by Brünauer) A letter from Otto Vrieslander to Brünauer also exists (OJ 71/37). A reply by Brünauer to an article by Walter Riezler ( Die Musik, April 1930) survives in typescript carbon copy, entitled “Die Urlinie. Eine Entgegnung,” (OJ 21/24, with annotation in Jeanette Schenker’s hand). Works by Robert Brünauer survive also as OC 41 (Waltz, Op.39/1) and OC 42 (arrangement of a keyboard piece by C. P. E. Bach, with Schenker’s ). |
