Footnotes1 This is the first surviving item of correspondence between Moriz and Heinrich Schenker after a two-year gap, and the penultimate item of the entire correspondence. — Receipt of this letter is recorded in Heinrich’s diary for December 6, 1934: “Von Mozio (Br.): trägt den Namen des Kurzwellen-Mannes nach u. die Adresse.” (“From Mozio (letter): he adds the name of the shortwave [radiotherapy] man, and his address.”). — This is the last entry in Heinrich’s diary involving Moriz. — Moriz’s partner in the business was Jakob Reicher. 2 Probably Otto Pötzl (1877–1962), Austrian physician and psychiatrist, specialist in psychiatry and neurology. 3 Eugen Weissenberg, medical superintendent of the shortwave section of the University of Vienna's Clinic for Nervous and Mental Diseases. Heinrich’s diary for November 28, 1934 records: “Nach Tisch fällt die Ruhe aus, weil Mozio zur Jause bei uns ist: ¾4–6h! […] Empfiehlt die neue Kurzwellen-Therapie eines Dr. Weissenberg! Bittet die Schuld nicht löschen zu lassen (im beiderseitigen Interesse[)]. ” (“After lunch, the peace is disturbed because Mozio is with us for afternoon snack: 3:45 to 6 o’clock! [...] He recommends the new short-wave radiotherapy of a Dr. Weissenberg! He asks me not to have his debt cancelled (in the interests of both of us).”). |
