Sehr geehrter Herr !

Ich übersende mit Heutigem die Superrevision der Bg. 17 u. 18;¹ Bitte aber mir den Bogen 20 einsenden zu wollen, den ich zuvor einsehen muß, bevor ich Bog. 19 druckfertig mache, da die Anmerkung auf S. 299 es so nötig macht.²

Mit ausgez. Hochachtung

Dear Sir,

I am sending you the final proof of gatherings 17 and 18¹ by today’s post. But please kindly send me gathering 20, which I must look at before I can have gathering 19 ready for the press, because commentary section on p.299 needs my attention.²

With kind regards,
[ sign’d: ] H. Schenker

Sender address: Ötz, Ötztal, Tyrol

FOOTNOTES:

¹ = pp. 257–72 and 273–88.

² 19 = pp. 289–304; 20 = pp. 305–320. The commentary section on pp. 299–300 (omitted from the Mann Borghese trans.) criticizes bars 4–12 of Richard Strauss’s Don Quixote, the music of which is given in score as a textless footnote on pp.300–304, comparing it adversely with a passage from Schubert’s posthumous A major piano sonata.
