My dear friend, I would like to thank you most warmly for your Christmas gift. Don’t be angry that I haven’t written earlier. – Zemlinsky’s quartet was also given to me by Schönberg for Christmas, and he additionally sent me a letter with perfectly magnificent words about Zemlinsky. – I am happy to have two copies of the quartet. –
Anton Webern to Heinrich Jalowetz, January 3, 1917
