‘There were two Josef Hofmanns. There was the Josef Hofmann who recorded in a studio who knew that the performance would live on after him. Then there was the Josef Hofmann who played to an audience in a concert hall. There he would play as his master Anton Rubinstein did in a style that Hofmann knew might not be looked upon favorably by future generations. I doubt that he ever thought that those live recordings would become available to the public. Thankfully, they were.’—YouTube 用户 Beckmesser2，二零零八
