GUEST,Raedwulf Tech: Two-Finger chords for Amputee (39) RE: Tech: Two-Finger chords for Amputee 08 Aug 03


Craig - I did a quick Google - I reckon you're referring to Paul Wittgenstein. There some brief information & photo's here.

Paul Wittgenstein (1887-1961) had several works written for him,
including one by Richard Strauss and one by Benjamin Britten. The
Concerto for Left Hand was written by Ravel for him, and is very often played nowadays by two-armed pianists. He was also the brother of philosopher Ludwig W.

I reckon that it must have been some of the stuff that was written for him that Winchester went off & found. Just goes to show what you can achieve despite everything!
