Dear Sir,

I would like, if I can somehow get to it, first to write something personal about Bülow,¹ and then to publish your article on the conductors.² I hope this meets with your approval.

With collegial thanks
and best wishes,
Yours truly,

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

FOOTNOTES:

¹ Click on Hans von Bülow. Bülow had died on February 12, 1894, four days before the date of this postcard; he was a personal acquaintance of Harden's.

² This would eventually be published as "Konzertdirigenten" in Die Zukunft on April 14, 1894. It is reprinted in Hellmut Federhofer, Heinrich Schenker als Essayist und Kritiker ... (Hildesheim: Georg Olms, 1990), pp. 75-82.

SUMMARY:
Harden asks for Schenker's permission to put off publishing Schenker's article on prominent conductors until Harden himself writes something personal about Hans von Bülow [who had died four days earlier].
