In his letter to Helene of April 1936, already alluded to, Adorno confesses his involvement in the Hanna Fuchs affair and offers an insightful explanation of its relevance to the Lyric Suite: âOne thing was clear to me: that the H. F. business was not paramount for him; that she was not in a position to challenge his relationship with you, and that it was far more a case of his loving H. F. in order to write the Lyric Suite than of his writing the Lyric Suite out of love.â Bergâs relationship with Hanna was âdramaturgical,â Adorno adds, and in sum âa romantic error.â 58
Helene could never forgive Adorno for his complicity in the affair, and she harbored a resentment against him from that point forward. But she also accepted his analysis and repeated it to her closest friends. To Alma Mahler in November of 1936 she reasserted that her husband needed âpoetic loveâ and âromanticâ fantasy to compose. She continued:
It was all a flight from reality. This was the only way that the Lyric Suite could come about. So I can only confirm the meaning of these eventsâand fall silent. And this is why I have not a trace of bitterness, only emotion and melancholy. Nothing, nothing at all, can tarnish my love for him. And some day I will stand beside her [i.e., Hanna Fuchs] before God [Ich werde einmal mit ihr vor Gott stehen].59
