Josef Hofmann, Piano, and Mischa Elman, Violin Note that no accompanist is listed for the four selections featuring Elman in the middle of the program. Since the opening and closing works are identified specifically as performed by Hofmann and Elman, it seems probable that Elman had a different accompanist for these four pieces. Encores added from New York Times review (4/17/1914, pg. 11). joint recital 1914-04-17T15:00:00
