TLS in German, signed “Dr. Josef Hofmann,” one page, 8.5 x 11, Curtis Institute of Music letterhead, December 30, 1936. Letter to an associate. In part (translated): “I’m happy that you liked my student Shura Cherkassky. It will surely interest you to hear that his success in Vienna and Poland were also exceptionally good. With this opportunity I would like to share with you in advance, that also a student of mine will come to Budapest. Among the female pianists, I consider Nadia Reisenberg to be every bit as talented and capable as Cherkassky is among the young male pianists.” In fine condition, with two punch holes to left edge.
