TRENCH AND CAMP

Josef Hofmann
THE GREAT POLISH PIANIST
Supreme Master of the Pianoforte
TEXTILE Tonight
HALL

The people of Greenville and the Piedmont Section have the opportunity of hearing
such an artist in the person of Josef Hofmann, that only such cities as New York, Chi-
cage, Detroit, Philadephia and Boston have had. The following critical praise from the
largest newspapers in this country should be sufficient evidence that a rare treat is in
store for the music lovers and this opportunity may never come to you again.

New York Times, January 28, 1917:
"Carnegie Hall held probably one of the largest audiences it ever con-
tained. Mr. Hofmann's extraordinary art was manifested at every
point."

New York Herald, January 28, 1917:
"Such piano recitals as Mr. Hoffmann gives are events, even in over-
crowded musical New York. Four hundred people sat on the stage
and as many as the law would allow stood up during his long pro-
gram."

Cleveland Leader, October 19, 1916
"Josef Hofmann, who I consider the supreme master of the piano-
forte, gave a recital last evening. Added to all his offerings was the
colossal musical intelligence of the genius, Josef Hofmann, Chopin
had never been heard in Cleveland as it was played last night."

Philadlephia Press, November 9, 1916:
"For an exhibition of virtuosity as its supreme height the playing of
the Scherzo in F. by Rubenstein, surpassed all praise. Hofmann's
resources of technic can not be described.

Philadelphia Press, November 9, 19117:
"He seemed to be the embodiment of Chopin himself."

New Orleans Item, December 11, 1917:
"Mr. Hofmann possesses all the qualities that make the supreme
artist. Of his Chopin interpretations, rhapsodical paeans could be
sung."

Dallas News, December 6, 1916:
"Seldom in the history of Dallas has an artist been received as Josef
Hofmann was last night. His playing was stupendous and will long
be remebered. At the close of the program he was called back
five times."

Los Angeles Times, March 14, 1917:
" To his many other victories, Joseg Hofmann added another surpris-
ing triumph, perhaps the greatest he has achieved here."

Los Angeles Tribune, March 14, 1917:
"Trinity Auditorium was filled to its capacity last night when Josef
Hofmann electrified the audience with his inimitable playing."

San Francisco Call, March 5, 1917:
"Hofmann's is an omniscient genius which holds within its scope all
od humanity's joys and sorrows, its peace and passion."

Portland Oregonian, February 18, 1917:
"Hofmann was greeted not with ordinary applause, but with cheers."
