Diary entry by Schenker, dated April 13, 1910 April 13 [:] 3 p.m., Prof. Rettich,1 whom I meet by chance in the street, holds out hope to me of Baron Alphons2 giving support to vol. II/23 as well. © Translation Ian D. Bent 2005. |
COMMENTARY: FOOTNOTES: 1 Prof. Rettich [biog note] 2 There appears to be a question-mark after “Alph”, but it is unclear. Baron Alphons von Rothschild, who had paid the publication costs of Harmonielehre and was to do so those of Kontrapunkt I. 3 i.e. Kontrapunkt II. However, it is possible that the superscript „2“ and period may in fact be a question-mark, in which case it would read: „giving support to vol. II as well?” SUMMARY: [ NMTP II = Kontrapunkt:] Prof. Rettich holds out hope of Rothschild giving financial support to vol.II/2 (or vol.II?). © Commentary, Footnotes, Summary Ian D. Bent 2005.
