David Hochstein
On February 16, 1892, a great violinist was born in Rochester,N.Y. His
name was David Hochstein. David started playing the violin at a very young
age and he was very good. The first time he played before an audience was
at CCH(Carnegie Chamber Hall) on February 10, 1908, when he was 16 years
old. David's parents were very proud of him and happy for him too.
David served in the war. He died in France on October 15, 1918. Everyone
was sad because he was dead and the people were going to miss him having
live concerts and just seeing him happy.
Now Rochester has The Hochstein. It is a music school named after him
and everyone is proud of the achievements that he made.

David Hochstein
Born on February 16, 1892, Mr. David Hochstein soon became a well known
Rochester violinist. David's parents were Jacob and Helena. He was their
third child. At a very young age, David started violin lessons with Ludwig
Schenck. Schenck was also the music teacher at East High which David entered
in 1905.
David joined the school orchestra and became the concert master. During
high school, he began to work with another violin teacher, Aloys Trnka.
In 1908, David traveled to New York to play at Carnegie Chamber Music Hall.
Mr. Hochstein went to war in France and was killed on October 15, 1918.
I think this was a very tragic death because he was only 25 years old.
