COMMENTARY:
Format: calling card, holograph message beginning verso, message continuation, printed name and address recto, unsigned
Sender address: [Vienna] IV, Heugasse 24
Recipient address: --

FOOTNOTES:

¹ Presumably the edition of a piece of music that Alphons was studying.

² Since Götterdämmerung was given in Vienna as part of the complete Ring cycle in 1879, this must relate to a later performance, if indeed it refers to a performance at all; "erscheinen" can mean "be published"; however, Götterdämmerung was first published in 1877. Possibly, Alphons is referring to a piano reduction of the work, or conceivably to an article about the work. Perhaps, though, he is speaking figuratively.

SUMMARY:
Alphons checks edition and makes [unexplained] reference to Götterdämmerung.
