«Mein lieber Erich!»
A friendship in letters
Jenny Berg
Erich Schmid (1907-2000) and Erich Itor Kahn (1905-1956) are two artistic personalities from the last century that were bound by a close friendship (the former having grown up in a priest family, the latter being the son of a Jewish cantor in the neighbourhood of Frankfurt am Main). Countless letters show their intense intellectual exchange, among other things about their encounters with Arnold Schönberg.
