Arnold Schoenberg
116 N. Rockingham Ave.
Los Angeles 49, California.

25th November, 1949.

Mr Walter Hinrichsen
President
C.F. Peters Corporation
1109 Carnegie Hall
881 Seventh Avenue.
New York 19, N.Y.

Dear Mr Hinrichsen:
I have not had time to answer your letter because it is very complicated. Your proposition of a contract seems to me quite impossible--but about this later.
At first I want to tell you that my assumption that I can have it here newly engraved for $12 per page, including all corrections was correct. I have found here an excellent German engraver who is ready to do the job. He has checked the score entirely and knows exactly how much work it is and has made a price for it.
I have still to find out how much the printing, including paper and binding will cost. I will do this in one of the next days and then will report to you. I am quite sure that it will be far below the $1,500 which you want and it allows correction and everything as normal. I must repeat: it will be quite newly engraved.
I don't understand your proposition that you add the $500 for my work in making htis new version to the toatl expenses, so that in fact I pay the $500 instead of you. I mean that the process should be this: from this half of the total expenses which is my share, should be deducted the $500 which I should get for the new score. Or, you must pay it in cash. In other words: you pay the expenses for printing it in cash, I pay in the form of my new work and this has to be deducted from my share.
With the rest of the contract I think I could agree. I mean that we make it on the basis of 50/50 after Herstellungskosten.
Do you want me to find out also what the correction of the parts will cost and in which way they should best be done.
I am expecting your answer soon, and in the the[!] meantime,
I am, Sincerely yours,

R.H.
