Schoenberg, Arnold. AUTOGRAPH LETTER SIGNED ("ARNOLDSCHOENBERG"), TO FELIX GREISSLE about a mistake the composer has made regarding the tone rows of the Violin Concerto, Op.36, containing on two staves a notation of the untransposed prime form of the row and its inversion at the lower fifth; regarding these, Schoenberg states that Greissle will have to transpose them himself, since he has too much to do and is very tired; he also refers to his sketches for the concerto, and wonders whether it will be possible for him to check the whole work against the tone rows, since it is very difficult to identify them, noting that it might be possible later to print an errata list ...die Transpositionen musst du dir selbst machen; ich habe zu viel zu tun und bin sehr müde...Einstweilen, wird man sich mit dem begnügen müssen, was man beim Lesen findet. Es ist uebrigens nicht so sicher, dass ich diesen Fehler immer gemacht habe, da ich ja die Reihen im Gehör hatte... 2 pages, 4to (28 x 21.5cm), filing holes, address stamp of the composer, Los Angeles, 18 October 1937, tiny tear to outer margin, splitting to folds, creasing to corners
