Legendary
pianist and former Curtis Director Josef Hofmann's vision for the Institute
was to "hand down through contemporary masters the great traditions
of the past; to teach students to build on this heritage for the future."
During the school's early years, instructors included Leopold Auer, Louis
Bailly, Daniel Bonade, Carl Flesch, Mr. Hofmann, Anton Horner, William
Kincaid, Wanda Landowska, David Saperton, Rosario Scalero, Carlos Salzedo,
Marcella Sembrich, Leopold Stokowski, Marcel Tabuteau, Isabelle Vengerova
and Efrem Zimbalist. Today several distinguished students of those initial
faculty members teach at the Institute.
