Sehr geehrter Herr [J. G. Cotta]!

Mit ausgez. Hochachtung
Ir ergeb.

June 25, 1906

Dear Sir [J. G. Cotta],

I gratefully acknowledge receipt of the text (through to the end of the main work), and am in process of finishing off correcting the proofs of it. 1 I ask you kindly to send me the music examples that are still lacking as soon as they have been set, 2 so that, as already mentioned once before, I am in a position to check them against the originals before I leave for my Summer holidays. 3


With kind regards,
Your devoted
[signed:] H. Schenker [Heinrich Schenker]

Footnotes

1 It would appear that by "text" Schenker is referring to the letterpress to the end of Part II ‒ i.e. second proofs of all the text matter ‒ but complete with music examples on location. He has previously raised this matter in [/documents/correspondence/CA-25.html] , May 25, 1906, and in [/documents/correspondence/CA-27.html] , June 4.

2 In [/documents/correspondence/OJ-9-31_9.html] , June 5, Cotta distinguished between those music examples that are set within the text, which they expect imminently, and those that are not, which they expect in early July.

3 Schenker traveled on July 9 ( [/documents/correspondence/CA-33.html] ), arriving in Ötz on July 10 (diary). By "originals" Schenker means the scores in his personal library at Reisnerstraße 38.
