The magnificent pianist Leon Fleisher died the other day. He was 92.
Tragically, he lost the use of his right hand for decades. Nonetheless, he played music (there is such) for only the left hand. He also conducted.
Eventually, he regained the use of his right hand, and played "standard" piano repertoire again.
I have recordings. He was one of the great pianists of the 20th century. And his courage should inspire all.
