Thursday Tunes: Ravel's Piano Concerto for Left Hand Only
We were in Chicago on Saturday for the Chicago Symphony Orchestra concert. Here's one of the most fascinating pieces of the evening. It's a piano concerto for the left hand only, written by Ravel for Paul Wittgenstein (brother of famous philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein), who lost an arm in World War I. The pianist who played on Saturday was incredible.
