FOOTNOTES:

¹ Schenker's article "Verdis Falstaff," which appeared in Die Zukunft on March 5, 1894, and is reprinted in Hellmut Federhofer, Heinrich Schenker als Essayist und Kritiker ... (Hildesheim: Georg Olms, 1990), pp. 85-89.

SUMMARY:
Harden wonders whether it is worth publishing an article by Schenker on Verdi's Falstaff now that the production has moved on from Berlin to Paris.
