Die Tonkunst. Provisional title of a monthly periodical (Monatsschrift), to be devoted to Schenker's theory, which never came to fruition. The plan was devised in late 1927 by Schenker's pupil Hans Weisse, the periodical to be edited by Felix Salzer and Oswald Jonas and published by Saturn-Verlag, Vienna, with the involvement of Anthony van Hoboken. At one point Schenker describes its purpose as "to serve as a vehicle for my theory ... and to take up the struggle with opponents"; at a later point as "the cultivation and application of my theories." After initial enthusiasm, he expressed doubts, as did Hoboken. The idea of a periodical devoted to Schenker's theory was, however, revived after Schenker's death, and in April 1937 the first issue of Der Dreiklang: Monatsschrift für Musik, jointly edited by Jonas and Salzer, was published by Krystall-Verlag, Vienna. It ran for seven months, April-October, as a monthly periodical, but appearance of the final issue was long delayed (Heft 8/9: November 1937/February 1938). |
