[25] 'Joh. Kreisler jun.'
[26] This letter and another to Amtsvogt Blume, which follows in Chapter VI., were first published in the Lüneburger Anzeige March 29, 1901.
[27] 'Gedenkenblätter an berühmte Musiker,' by Carl Reinecke.
[28] 'Erinnerungen von Johannes Brahms.'
[29] At this period envelopes were not in universal use. The large 'letter-paper' was folded and sealed, and addressed on the blank fourth page.
[30] Ehrlich, 'Dreissig Jahre Künstlerleben.'
[31] 'Robert Schumann's Briefe.' Neue Folge. Edited by Gustav Jansen.
[32] These words sufficiently disprove the assumption occasionally adopted, that Schumann expected Brahms before receiving his call at Düsseldorf.
[33] The movements of the F minor Sonata were no doubt submitted to Schumann's criticism during the process of their composition.
[34] See, for this and other letters of Schumann, Dr. Jansen's collection referred to [above].
