Pianist Leon Fleisher came to fame in the 1950's but lost the use of his right hand in 1964, due to a condition that was eventually diagnosed as focal dystonia. After this point, he became particularly well-known for performing pieces for the left hand. Several pieces in this repertoire were written for him, including Lukas Foss' Piano Concerto for the Left Hand (1993). (14457)
