The publication and dissemination of his scores was among Schoenberg’s greatest concerns when he settled in America. Scores of his European works were not always available and in some cases they lacked copyright protection. To cope with this situation, Schoenberg revised earlier works, assumed a music publisher’s duty, and entered into business relations with several American publishers, who published his revised and new compositions. During his lifetime, Schoenberg saw nine publishing firms issue twenty-one of his scores and three books. Schoenberg’s fruitful if complex relationships with such staunch supporters of his music as Carl Engel of G. Schirmer, Felix Greissle of E. B. Marks, Kurt List of Boelke-Bomart, Walter Hinrichsen of C. F. Peters, and Dagobert Runes of the Philosophical Library are discussed.Less

This chapter puts into the spotlight the historical moment when Danish and Swedish emerged from East Norse, and the background to that emergence, starting with the runes, also accounting briefly for development after that historical moment. Coalescence of the Danish and Swedish provincial realms into larger kingdoms that eventually led to post-medieval nation-states eventually made their two East Norse variants into Danish and Swedish, separate national languages; the Roman Church brought strong Latin influence to bear on the languages of the North; and the Hanseatic League’s lingua franca, Low German, provided mercantile vocabulary on a large scale to both Danish and Swedish. Mainland West Norse, left to its own devices during the twelfth century, followed a very different path before its emergence as Modern Norwegian.Less
