DVORSKY, COMPOSER,
IS JOSEF HOFFMAN,

The wolfsohn Musical Bureau Is au-
thority for the statement that Michel
Dvorsky, composer of "Chromaticon"
10 piano concerto), 1.-THE Haunted Cas-
tie" "a symphonic narrative for or
chestra) and some piano pieces. all
sponsored by Josef Hofmann and
played by him with some Of the most
dignified orchestras of America, Is
non-existent except as an alter ego Of
Mr.. Hofmann.
These works are of the modernist
style, and the originator to whom
they were attributed was said by Mr..
Hoffman,, who alone of all the world
seemed able to provide biographical
notes, to be OF Polish parentage. born
in Pau in 1890. a pupil of one Gustave
Granier in Pau and, because of i'll
health. a resident in seclusion at San
Sebastian. This information, first pre-
sented by Mr.. Hofmann when the
"Chromaticon" was performed two
years ago. has since appeared in the
program notes of the orchestra at
whose concerts the composition has
been heard with Mr.. Hofmann at the
piano.
Through the announcement of the
Wolfsohn bureau Mr.. Hoffman, now
states that ''he chose to introduce his
latest compositions under a pen name
in order that he might get the un-
biased opinion of the public as well as
that of the critics and avoid trading
upon the fame which has come to him
through his playing" 1t is further
made known that Mr.. Hofmann in
tends to preserve his pen name for
further compositions.

In spite of the announcement, spas

as the performance continued, vafious
women in the audience got up and
