Ludwig Hoffmann received his artistic training with Bruno Hinze-Reinhold, Paul Weingarten, Richard Rössler and Hans-Otto Schmidt-Neuhaus. He received masterclasses, among others, with Marguerite Long and Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli. In 1947 he won the Liszt Prize in Weimar, and further prizes followed in the next few years. With the year 1954 he began a lively concert activity around the world. Numerous recordings, which he recorded for various radio stations, still await their rediscovery. On record, his work is only inadequately documented, as he was at the beginning of his career while on the phone, but then not under any major labels permanently under contract. The highly virtuoso pianist was frequent Duopartner Ingrid Haeblers. Apart from standard works, he also performed less frequently performed pieces by modern composers. His Liszt game set standards and is still audible today. From 1970 to 1991 he was a professor at the Musikhochschule in Munich. His successor is Margarita Höhenrieder. He has been a jury member of more than 25 prestigious international competitions, among others. the Chopin Competition in Warsaw, the Liszt Competition in Budapest, as well as competitions in St. Petersburg, Montreal, Sydney, Bozen, Geneva. He also led masterclasses in Maryland, Munich, Rotterdam and Weimar. Ludwig Hoffmann has been a member of the European Piano Teacher Association (EPTA) for many years and has decisively influenced this, as an opponent of Karl-Heinz Kämmerling, as a founding member. His brother is Ingfried Hoffmann. Edit sourcetext Standard data (person): GND: 122068203 (PICA, AKS) | LCCN: no90007545 VIAF: 100316735 | Wikipedia People Search
