Scope and content
Zuckerkandl asks for an update from Ritsema since the latter has not responded for an extended time. [Zuckerkandl may not have received Ritsema's letter of January 14, 1963, before writing this letter.] Zuckerkandl shares the news that the Rhein-Verlag has finally decided to release the new German edition of his book [volume 1 of Sound and Symbol] in September of that year under the title Die Wirklichkeit der Musik. Zuckerkandl is debating whether to use the same title for his upcoming lecture [for the 1963 Eranos conference] or a quote from Ludwig Wittgenstein instead, “Ethik und Ästhetik sind Eins,” and asks for Ritsema’s opinion. In the postscript, Zuckerkandl writes that if he were “braver,” he would opt for “Die Wahrheit des Traumes und der Traum der Wahrheit.”
