HOFMANN
(Josef Casimir, 1876-1957, Polish American Pianist, Composer, Music Teacher and Inventor)
Fine Autograph Musican Quotation signed and dated,
with several bars of music and the word ‘Elegie’, 5¼” x 4½”, Hereford, 10th November
Josef Hofmann was a child prodigy and he gave a debut recital in Warsaw at the age of 5, and a long series of concerts throughout Europe and Scandinavia, culminating in a series of concerts in America in 1887-88 that elicited comparisons with the young Mozart and the young Mendelssohn. The young Hofmann took music lessons from Heinrich Urban and with the pianist and composer Moritz Moszkowski. Subsequently, Anton Rubinstein took Hofmann as his only private student in 1892 and arranged the debut of his pupil in Hamburg, Germany, in 1894. Hofmann toured and performed extensively over the next 50 years as one of the most celebrated pianists of the era. In 1913, he was presented with a set of keys to the city of St. Petersburg, Russia.
