TO APPEAR e. FESTIVAL.
Hanna Wolff, pianist, who is to ap-
pear at the May festival, this week
was born in The Hague, Holland. At
the age of 6 years she played every
thing she heard without having had a
lesson. This sensitive nature became
more evident as she grew older. Her
talent was of such an order that it
attracted the attention of William
Kes, a well known director from ST.
Petersburg. who advised that she de-
vote herself entirely to music.
She was given the advantages of the
NEST musical education, studying pi-
ano with Hutchenreyter, Julius Roent-
gen, an intimate friend of Edward
Grieg, and Louis Coenen. friend and
pupil of List. She also showed re-
markable composition talent, and pur-
sued her studies in that direction un-
der Bernhard Zweers. Her progress
was such that at the age of Is years
she competed for and obtained the
prize scholarship of the Amsterdam
Conservatory, emitting the candidate
to an extended term of study in Ger
many. This, however, on account of
her youth was deferred until later,
and she remained in Holland studying
and concertizing.
When Leopold Godowsky concerto
ed through Holland he accepted her
as pupil, and spared himself no pains
to develop her talent to the highest
degree possible, and predicted bril-
liant future for her. When in Berlin
she completed her composition study
with the late Heinrich Won Eyken, and
he compositions are reflections of her
talent. After that period of study Han
ma Wolff again resumed her concert
work and has everywhere met with
the most flattering success, having ap-
peared in Holland, Belgium, France
and Germany.
