Footnotes1 "Autokatastrophe einer Wiener Gesellschaft" ("Party of Viennese in Catastrophic Automobile Accident"), Neue freie Presse, No. 24385, August 2, 1932, morning edition, p. 7. According to the article, the accident had taken place on August 1, near the town of Lambach in Upper Austria; there had been one fatality among the car’s three occupants. Salzer was named as one of the two survivors, who were described as having sustained severe head injuries and concussion as well as numerous fractures. They had been taken to a hospital in Lambach and were then invited by Heinrich Gutmann to recuperate at his home, Würting Castle, in nearby Offenhausen. 2 The Oxford Original Edition of Frédéric Chopin, edited from the original edition and manuscripts by Edouard Ganche, vol. 1–3 (London: Oxford University Press, 1932). From the sentence that follows, it seems likely that Hoboken was planning a counter-edition to this publication; but see the diary entry of August 31, in which Hoboken’s Chopin project is vastly scaled down. |
