Herbert Hoover
From The Paderewski memoirs (1938)
I took up my work again and that summer, 1895, I prepared for the third American tour. It was the most successful of all. That third tour was a tremendous tour, covering the whole of the United States from " Maine to the Pacific " as you say. It was also a very great financial success, (etc).
It was then I visited California for the first time, and my experience in San Francisco during that tour was complete and perfect enjoyment. The beauty of the country, the transparency of the air, the kindness and hospitality of the people, made me happy and content.
I met there many people for whom I still personally, or in memory, preserve a warm affection. Incidentally, I had the opportunity of meeting Mr. Herbert Hoover, then a student at Stanford University.
I spent in San Francisco, after these concerts, one week more in order to be able to play in a concert given by the Belgian violinist, Marsick. The weather was gorgeous all the time. It
was perfectly enchanting. I was invited to several private houses in Burlingame, (etc).
For the American public, it is not without interest to say that when I played in Los Angeles at that time, it was a very small town. Now it has almost two million population. That growth is something astounding to realise. During that same season I played in San Diego. It was a tiny place then, hardly a village, and from the railway station to the theatre (or opera house, as it was called), a distance of half a mile, there was only on house—a little gambling house—and the audience for my concert was drawn mostly from the Coronado Beach Hotel, which was in full swing and crowded. To-day San Diego is a very beautiful city of nearly three hundred thousand inhabitants—a miracle in that country of miracles.
In many respects America seemed a fairy tale to me from the first moment. the audiences, for instance, which at the beginning of my career were rather small, were very exclusive. People interested in and caring for music. They came from the small surrounding places, from the little provincial towns, and the majority of them came with their music, with the notes to follow me. They were either students or teachers of music, the first, to have a kind of lesson, an the second, to renew their memories. They listened with a beautiful silence and followed me very reverently with their music. They made a kind of musical congregation, I felt.
