Joanna Lange plays Etude Opus 25 No. 1 by Chopin, arranged for left hand alone by Leopold Godowsky. A stroke in 1990 left Joanna paralyzed on her right side. Since then she has memorized sixty pieces for piano left hand alone. At the age of 82, she practices at least one hour every day.

    令我落淚的音樂,因為演奏者曾中風,她用還健全的左手彈奏蕭邦.­.Fan-Chiang Yi 范姜毅

    【你在鋼琴上能贏過這位老太太的單獨左手嗎?】♩. ♪這個感人的演奏影片或許無法置信,從影片上來估計這位老Joa­nna太太至少年過80,在22年前(1990)因為中風導致他­的全身右半部無法運作,但她仍然克服重重萬難,訓練還能運作的左­手去彈鋼琴,在82歲的高齡至少每天繼續保持一小時的練習。至今­她能憑記憶演奏出60首以上專門給左手演奏的鋼琴作品,除此之外­還作曲,寫出專門給左手演奏的<Galaxy Suite

  • I have both hands fine, but I don't play even half as beautiful as her...

    Shame on me.

  • I almost lost my left hand this weekend, and it scared me to death thinking I'd never be able to play the piano again! Wow! This wonderful video is such an inspiration.

  • GREAT!!!!!

  • Inspiring...

    

  • This is really inspiring. I will never stop playing piano, no matter what.

  • In spite of everything, you have still so courageously worked hard at arguably the hardest of left hand piano literature: the Chopin-Godowsky Studies. Congratulations - God bless you - and I am truly humbled by what I am seeing.

  • Wow, Aeolian harp for left hand alone... Very impressive! I love it! :D And the info in the description is very touching :)
