Paderewski Endorses Stojowski

Hotel Gotham, New York

May 13, 1924

It has been my privilege and my joy to assist Mr. Sigismond Stojowski in his studies as a pianist for a number of years. Remarkable pianist and composer, extraordinary musician, highly educated and refined man, he has done me the honor of adopting my method and style to such an extent that, whenever listening to some young people who had enjoyed his guidance and tuition, I have the impression to hear my own pupils.

Among the few really great piano pedagogues of the present day, Mr. Stojowski occupies a very prominent position, for he has no superior.
