Dystonia

I’ve been reading up on dystonia lately and wanted to share some of the available online literature:
- Pulling the wrong strings
- Leon Fleisher: Dealing with Dystonia – an chapter from Oliver Sacks’ fascinating Musicophilia
- Dystonia Overview
- Focal Dystonia in Musicians: From phenomenology to therapy
Those who know me know that I have studied piano with Dwight Peltzer, a pianist (turned computer science expert) who enjoyed a successful international career until the early 80′s when his left hand was crippled by dystonia.
