Charakterskizzen op. 40/4 Kaleidoskop 霍夫曼．約瑟夫 鋼琴獨奏 齊默爾曼版

約瑟夫-凱西米爾-霍夫曼（Josef Casimir Hofmann，1876-1957 年）是有史以來最著名的鋼琴演奏家之一。作為鋼琴家和作曲家，他在歐洲的聲譽很低，這與他生前所取得的成就形成了鮮明對比。霍夫曼創作了 100 多部作品，其中包括朱利斯-海因裡希-齊默爾曼（Julius Heinrich Zimmermann）於 1908 年作為四部 "小品 "的一部分出版的鋼琴小品《萬花筒》。他將這些作品獻給了他的朋友、鋼琴家利奧波德-戈多夫斯基（Leopold Godowsky）。這是一首成熟而精巧的作品，霍夫曼在其中運用了半音階和複雜的和聲，使作品呈現出近乎交響樂的特質。 近年來，鋼琴家們重新發現了《萬花筒》。Musikverlag Zimmermann 現已重新出版了這首珍貴樂曲的樂譜，作為其再版系列的一部分"

原文簡介:
Josef Casimir Hofmann (1876-1957) is one of the most famous piano virtuosos of all time. His rather humble posthumous reputation in Europe as a pianist and composer stands in complete contrast to the successes he enjoyed during his lifetime. Hofmann composed over 100 works, including the piano piece “Kaleidoscope”, which Julius Heinrich Zimmermann published as part of four “Vignettes” in 1908. He dedicated the pieces to his friend, the pianist Leopold Godowsky. It is a mature and sophisticated work, in which Hofmann develops an almost symphonic quality by the use of chromatics and complex harmonies. In recent years, pianists have rediscovered “Kaleidoscope”. Musikverlag Zimmermann has now republished the music for this valuable piece as part of its reprint series.
