Handwritten letter from Schenker to Hertzka (UE), dated January 15, 1912 Sehr geehrter Herr Direktor ! Anbei retour Bg. 3 u. 4, mit inprim. versehen.1 [Ho]ffentlich geschieht dem Bg. 4 kein weiteres Unrecht von seiten der Setzer. Ihre Anregung, jedem der folgenden Sätze, ebenso wie dem ersten, einen Plan beizugeben, nehme ich mit Dank an. Doch setzt das voraus, daß wir über die Einschaltung eines Blattes einig sind u. daß die Druckerei davon vor dem Umbrechen des betreffenden Bogens (ich glaube, [da]ß zunächst es der Bg. 8 ist2) Notiz nimmt. Bg. 8 kommt vielleicht noch in dieser Woche daran, da möchte ich Ihre Mitteilung erbitten, ob Mit ausgez.

Handwritten letter from Schenker to Hertzka (UE), dated January 15, 1912 Dear Director, Herewith gatherings 3 and 4 returned complete with imprimatur.1 Let us hope that no further wrong is done to gathering 4 by the typesetter. I accept with gratitude your suggestion of adding a structural diagram to each of the other movements as well as the first. However, that presupposes that we are in agreement over the interpolation of a blank leaf, and that the printers are notified to this effect before they cast off the relevant gathering (I believe gathering 8 is next2). It may yet be the turn of gathering 8 this week, so I might ask for your advice as to whether we are to go ahead with implementing your suggestion. I am game. With kind regards, [in upper margin:] [overwritten in crayon:] Dealt with [/] u[?] [/] January 15 © Translation Ian Bent, 2006. |
COMMENTARY: FOOTNOTES 1 See WSLB 91 for earlier discussion of the problems in gathering 3. 2 Gathering 8 = pp. 113–128, the last full gathering of mvt 1. Thus gathering 9, pp. 129–144, is the crucial gathering, containing pp. 135/136 , the leaf dividing mvt 1 from mvt 2. SUMMARY © Commentary, Footnotes, Summary Ian Bent 2006.
