| | Correspondence Dent - Schoenberg |
 | | I would mention him among the five best, and you remember, among them are Webern, Berg, and Zillig. |
 | | Rankl has been Operndirektor in Reichenberg for three years (after one year Volksoper in Vienna); three years conductor and assistant to Klemperer in Berlin, Krolloper: th[e]n he was Operndirektor (several years) in Graz and finally in a great position, as successor to Georg Szell, Operndirektor in Prag. |
 | | May [I] mention finally, that Rankl is a son of a poor farmer in a small village close to Mödling Austria, and that his talent was, up to now (because I hope he finds your protection) his only protection. |
