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.

Recently we were able to purchase a letter written by Arnold Schönberg to David Josef Bach, who became friends with Schönberg when they were young men. The document refers to the composer’s forthcoming relocation to Berlin at the end of 1901.
