Sehr geehrter Herr,

im Prinzip bin ich durchaus einverstanden. Natürlich muß ich von Fall zu Fall ein Urtheil vorbehalten. Die Neue Revue¹ ist ja gewiß schön, aber da haben Sie kein Publikum, u. das ist auch nicht ganz unwichtig.²

Rosenthal³ u. Brahms tacent.

Mit verbindlichen Grüßen

Ihr ergebener

Dear Sir,

In principle, I am in complete agreement. Naturally, I have to reserve judgment from case to case. Die Neue Revue|¹ is well and good, but you have no public there, and that is not an entirely trivial matter.²

Rosenthal³ and Brahms tacent [are not responding].

With collegial greetings,

Yours truly,
[signed:] Harden

COMMENTARY:
Format: printed postcard, holograph address recto, holograph message and signature verso
Sender address: --
Recipient address: Kautzen, Austria

FOOTNOTES:

¹ The Neue Revue was a literary magazine in Vienna, in which Schenker had by this time already published several articles.

² This message seems to indicate that Schenker had asked Harden for his approval in regard to publishing something in Vienna on which Harden presumably had some claim.

³ Click on Moriz Rosenthal. Harden is hoping that either Brahms or Rosenthal or both will contribute something on Bülow to Die Zukunft, and he is using Schenker as a go-between. See OJ 11/42, [14] and [15].

SUMMARY:
Harden agrees in principle to Schenker's publishing elsewhere some material on which Harden had some claim; he advises Schenker that he has no following among the audience of Die Neue Revue; he has heard nothing from Brahms or Rosenthal about contributing something about Bülow to Die Zukunft.
