『In Memory of Rachmaninoff
　
　 Rachmaninoff was made of steel and gold;
　 steel in his arms, gold in his heart.
　 I can never think of his majestic being
　 without tears in my eyes,
　 for I not only admired him as a supreme artist,
　 but I also loved him as a man.
　
　 　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　　Josef Hofmann 』
