Wohlgeboren [/] Herrn Prof. Dr. Heinrich Schenker,

Sehr geehrter Herr Professor!

Sie verweisen im Texte (bei Takt 3)1 auch auf die “sogenannte Rustsche Handschrift” und bezeichnen dieselbe mit der Abkürzung “Rt”. Die Abkürzung fehlt aber in dem Verzeichnis der Abkürzungen.

Ich schlage vor sie dort nach RK. aufzunehmen wie folgt:

Rt. Sogenannte Rustsche Handschrift oder Rt. Rust.2

Bitte umgehend zu entscheiden.

Hochachtungsvoll

Dear Professor,

In the text (at bar 3)1 you refer to the “so-called Rust manuscript” and designate the latter by the abbreviation “Rt”. The abbreviation is however lacking from the List of Abbreviations.

I propose to insert it right after “RK” as follows:

Rt. So-called Rust manuscript or: Rt. Rust.2

Please let me have your decision by return.

With kind regards,
