RUBENSTEIN HAD
ONLY ONE PUPIL.
HE WAS HOFFMAN,

Anton Rubenstein, that giant
among historic pianists. had but one
private pupil and that was none
other than the present master
Josef Holman, whose advertised
concert appearance in this city u
prominent among the musical an
'nouncements Of the season. When
Rubenstein first heard Holman
play, the boy was 6 or years old.
and he declared him - be the only
child genius that had ever interest
ed him. 1t was not, however, until
several years later that Josef Hof-
mann went to him for study. In
the meantime, Hofmann's father,
himself q distinguished musician,
was the boys sole teacher and
travelling companion when the
youthful artist set out upon the
remarkable series Of concert tours
that made his name known around
the globe even before he was 10
yesrs old.
Mr.. Holman went to Rubenstein
at the age Of is and enjoyed the
priceless privilege Of close assocla-
ton with him for two years; It
was shortly after that that the fam
Gus p!anist-composer passed away.
"Since then" says Mr.. Hofmann, II
have studied only by myself; for TO
whom could / have gone after
Eubenstein? His very manner Of
teaching was such that 1t would
have made any other teacher ap-
pear to be like schoolmaster. He
chose the method Of indirect In.
struction through suggestion and
comparison. Only upon rare occa-
sions did he touch upon the strictly
musical. He never played for me;
he only talked. and I understanding
him, translated his meaning Into
music and musical utterances. He
never permitted me to bring to
him, as a lesson, any composition
more than once. One time I re-
member l asked about the finger
