Dear Mr. Hinrichsen:
I hope that in the meantime you have received
the letter wherein both Mr. Schoenberg and I
thank you for your so generous offer to send
us some of the excellent editions listed in
C. F. Peters catalogue.
But there is so much a musician would like to
have that it is hard to know where to start.
Even Mr. Schoenberg who has an extensive library
finds many things lacking when reading through
the catalogue. Enclosed you will find a list of the
works he would very much like to have – of course
not all at once, but every now and then, whenever
you are inclined.
As for myself, not possessing a large collection
of music, I find it difficult to make a choice.
May I send you my list a little later this week
after thinking over carefully my selections?
Thanking you once again for your generous gift,
I remain with most cordial greetings, also from Mr.
Schoenberg,
Very sincerely yours,

Richard Hoffmann
