Our archive recently received the donation of a previously unknown autograph letter by Arnold Schönberg. Written around 1909, the recipient was presumably the violinist Arnold Rosé, who premiered Schönberg’s works for string quartet and sextet, and was also first concertmaster at the Vienna Court Opera.

Schönberg's library is one of the most comprehensive records of a composer's reception in the 20th century. An annotated catalog of the books and periodicals in Schönberg's estate library has now been published in our publication series.

In 1914 Schönberg spent his summer vacation in Upper Bavaria. The painter Gabriele Münter, friend and muse of Wassily Kandinsky, had purchased a house in Murnau in 1909.
