Subject: RE: Tech: Two-Finger chords for Amputee
There was a German concert pianist who lost his right arm in WWI. He was rich enough to be able to avoid working, so he worked on playing the piano one-handed for several years. He made a come-back, and commissioned pieces from famous composers for the left hand only, some of which are v. hard. There was a BBC4 radio program about him last year.
