Scope and content
Zuckerkandl thanks Fröbe-Kapteyn for the invitation to the upcoming Eranos conference and mentions that he has known about Eranos for twenty years. Zuckerkandl states he has begun work on a second volume of Sound and Symbol [Man the Musician] in which he wishes to discuss musical sound as a vehicle for the self-realization and self-knowledge of man. He proposes a few titles for his 1960 lecture [“Die Tongestalt”, “Wesen und Sinn der Tongestalt”, “Der Mensch im Spiegel der Tongestalt”], asking Fröbe-Kapteyn which one she prefers, or whether he should think of a different title.
