Scope and content
Manuscript version almost identical to published version, apart from corrected typos. Page 12 slightly abbreviated, with specific analysis removed in published version. Zuckerkandl's reflections on Schenker's teaching, and its key tenets: to find meaning in the music itself, to treat the masterworks and their composers as teachers, and to use only Urtext editions. Handwritten note on final page explains that the essay was written a few days after Schenker's death.
