Lieber H. Prof. v. Cube!

Ich habe soben Weisse|¹ nahegelegt, auch Sie (wie z.B. Prof. Violin, Hamburg,² Prof. Oppel, Kiel–Leipzig|³) zum Vortrag einzuladen. Violin kommt bestimmt hin, vielleicht können auch Sie sich dort zeigen? –⁴

Wer ist H. Stürmer,^{5 in Duisburg} dessen “offenen Brief” an P. Hindemith|⁶ ich gestern zufällig im Oktoberheft der “Musik” gefunden habe? Sehr kräftig u. wirksam.⁷

Im Novemberheft bekennt sich Einer zur “Urlinie”, versteht sie aber nicht.⁸ {recto} Es braucht noch eine Weile.

Dear Professor von Cube,

I have just suggested to Weisse¹ that he invite you, too, along with Professor Violin in Hamburg² and Professor Oppel in Kiel and Leipzig³, to the lecture. Violin will definitely be coming; perhaps you too can also show yourself there?⁴

Who is this Mr Stürmer ^{from Duisburg},⁵ whose “open letter” to Paul Hindemith⁶ I happened to read in the October issue of Die Musik? Very strong and effective.⁷

In the November issue, someone confesses his allegiance to the Urlinie without, however, understanding it.⁸ {recto} This will take a while longer.

Best greetings,
[ sign’d: ] H. Schenker
