What a brilliant, inspiring program. As a classical pianist myself, I am most heartened to learn that Mr. Fleisher is still playing in spite of the obstacle of his chronic illness. I think it gives hope and is a testament to his dedication to fine music, something that uplifts us all.

I think you should know that you have misspelled Leon Fleisher's name all over your Web site. There is no "C" in his name. Don't believe me? Ask him.
