Handwritten letter from Schenker to Hertzka, dated November 9, 1909 [Excerpt from 7-page letter, of which this is part of the opening paragraph, concerning changes to the proofs of his edition of J. S. Bach Chromatic Fantasy and Fugue, and the issue of editorial control.] Wien, 9. 11. 09 [...] Erstens bin ich mitten in wichtigen Arbeiten, die keinen Aufschub zulassen, u. ich kann es als bestimmt voraussagen, daß ich vor Erscheinen des 1. Halbbandes vom “Kontrapunkt” kaum überflüssige Exkursionen zu machen in der Lage sein werde. [...] © Heirs of Heinrich Schenker. |
