Page "Heinrich Schenker" Paragraph 7

Schenker's negative feelings toward Bruckner are revealed in a quote in his Harmony ( 1906, written nearly twenty years after instruction ).

When while teaching Bruckner encountered instances where practice departed from rules, he would say in Austrian dialect: " Look, gentlemen, this is the rule.

Of course, I don't compose that way.

" Schenker had better memories of Ernst Ludwig.

Ludwig accepted Schenker on the basis of his initial scholarship.

Upon seeing some of Schenker's musical compositions, Ludwig recommended them to the pianist Julius Epstein.

Later Ludwig sent students to study with Schenker.

Schenker remembered Ludwig fondly and thought his teacher would have appreciated Schenker's work.
