The Van Cliburn Competition

There is an amazing documentary on PBS about the Van Cliburn piano competition.  It resulted in a tie. This is one of the winners.  I want you to watch the very opening. If you look closely you will note him searching the keys - almost like he is dusting them off - but in reality he is blind and he is finding out where to put his hands to start.  A blind pianist - obviously who can't see music and has to learn by imitation. Amazing
