This is Part One of two parts. Posted by an admirer of the composer, and of this work in particular, in the hope that this may encourage further performances and recordings. To the best of our knowledge no commercial recording of Richard Hoffmann’s Trio is currently available. Richard Hoffmann represents Schoenbergs revolutionary classicism in its purest form; further, he extended serialism beyond pitch to rhythm and dynamics. Born in Vienna on April 20, 1925, he lived in New Zealand from 1935 to 1947. Graduating from Auckland University in 1945, he began his association with Schoenberg in 1947 when he moved to Los Angeles. According to Helen Paxton, a former student of Hoffmanns at Oberlin College and author of Musics Connecticut Yankee: An Introduction to the Life and Music of Charles Ives, Hoffmann passionately promoted the twelve-tone method but forced his students to think lyrically. His music is like Bachs, finely wrought but intensely lyrical. Oberlin College Conservatory Biography for concert of works by Hoffmann and some of his former students: Professor of Composition and Music Theory Richard Hoffmann, appointed at Oberlin in 1954, served as Arnold Schoenberg’s secretary-amenuensis from 1947-1951. Hoffmann received the National Institute of Arts and Letters Award in 1966, Guggenheim Fellowships in 1970-1 and 1977-8, and National Endowment for the Arts grants in 1976-77, 1978 and 1979. Hoffmann also co-edited the Schoenberg Gesamtausgabe. He was a Visiting

How much is acting classes? What are other classes I can take in the acting world?
They seem like they are expensive. But the only classes I know I should take are just acting classes, I plan to do a lot more im just now starting. I think if I take acting classes as a starter it would be good as a beginner.

Q&A: I just recently turned 17 and I would like to be a proffesional dancer? Jun 28

I just recently turned 17 and I would like to be a proffesional dancer?
I was wondering if that is still possible if I attend college. One of the colleges i was interested in was Cornish College of the arts…
I like mostly ballet, contemporary and jazz.
Do you know if cornish is a good school? Any suggestions.
I have been taking ballet classes 6 days a week for 10 years as well as pointe, modern, jazz, and pilates. I am pretty sure i know all of the positions and jumps.
