Chapter 1 in Zemlinsky Studies (Middlesex University Press, 2007, pp. 1-14), this is the published version of my paper, ”Betwixt the Hof- and the Volksoper – A portrait of Zemlinsky in Gmunden, 1908″, given at the Zemlinsky Studies seminar at Middlesex University in 2006. However, it should be noted that research undertaken for my thesis since publication of this paper has caused the me to modify some of the conclusions that I reached at the time.
