 William Drabkin, "Hans Weisse in Correspondence with Schenker and His Circle"

It is generally recognized that Hans Weisse was the first major exporter of Schenker's theories to

America. He set sail from northern Germany in September 1931, not quite forty years of age, and soon

after arriving in his new homeland he was expounding his teacher's beliefs in lectures and courses on

composition, analysis, and performance at the David Mannes Music School. But he did not live to see

the full prospering of Schenkerian theory in the promised land, and he failed to realize a long-cherished

ambition to produce a textbook based on his teacher's advanced ideas. Weisse died in 1940, at the age of

48, and it was left to his former Vienna pupils Oswald Jonas and Felix Salzer to cement the foundations

of the new theory in the United States...
