Dear Doctor,

Sincere thanks and greetings to you and Gelber.¹

If you like, it would probably be good if you would kindly add something on the proof² about Bülow.³

In addition, please, a thorough review; not everything was clear to me.

Most cordially,
[signed:] Harden

COMMENTARY:
Format: printed postcard, holograph address recto, holograph message and signature verso
Sender address: --
Recipient address: Vienna III, Fraungasse 1

FOOTNOTES:

¹ Probably the scholar of German language and literature, Adolph Gelber (1856-1923).

² These are probably the proofs for "Konzertdirigenten," which appeared in Die Zukunft on April 14, 1894, and is reprinted in Hellmut Federhofer, Heinrich Schenker als Essayist und Kritiker ... (Hildesheim: Georg Olms Verlag, 1990), pp. 75-82.

³ Click on Hans von Bülow, a personal acquaintance of Harden's who had died on February 12, 1894.

SUMMARY:
Harden sends greetings to Schenker and [Adolph?] Gelber; he encourages Schenker to add mention of Hans von Bülow to his upcoming article on conductors, and asks Schenker to perform a thorough revision because the draft was not entirely clear.
