Fleisher, Leon. (1928–2020) & Foss, Lukas. (1922–2009). Autograph Signatures with Autograph Musical Quotation. An enormous AMQS with signatures from two eminent American pianists, conductors and composers. Fleisher and Foss have signed on a large album page and one of the two has added a short quotation of five notes. The verso of the page is covered in smaller, unidentified signatures. Overall toning, two small edge losses, and some small stains; overall in very good condition. 12 x 9 inches (30.5 x 23 cm).
Pianist Leon Fleisher came to fame in the 1950's but lost the use of his right hand in 1964, due to a condition that was eventually diagnosed as focal dystonia. After this point, he became particularly well-known for performing pieces for the left hand. Several pieces in this repertoire were written for him, including Lukas Foss' Piano Concerto for the Left Hand (1993).
