Spotted a amazing story about Leon Fleisher in yesterdays Irish Times. He was considered one of the best piano players of his generation. However for more than 30 years he was unable to play piano because of a brain disorder which left the fingers of his right hand unable to extend. After undergoing a type of bodywork/movement education called Rolfing he again has the use of his right hand and he is playing piano better then ever.

During April he is doing a tour of Ireland.
