"[Leon Fleisher's] comeback has catapulted him up next to Lance Armstrong as a symbol of the indomitable human spirit and inspiration to the broader public" -Holly Brubach inThe New York Times, PRAISE FOR MY NINE LIVES : Kirkus Reviews (starred) The legendary American pianist recounts the many stages of his storied career. With its soaring highs and sweeping lows, the story of Fleisher's life, deftly unveiled here with the help of Washington Post classical music critic Midgette, is as grand as any symphony. Now in his 80s, the author began playing piano in San Francisco at age four, gave his first public recital at eight, debuted with the New York Philharmonic at 16, won the prestigious Queen Elisabeth competition in Brussels in 1952 and made seminal recordings of Brahms and Beethoven with George Szell and the Cleveland Orchestra in the '50s and early '60s. However, his meteoric rise as a world-class musician was abruptly halted in 1964, at age 36, when he lost the use of his fourth and fifth fingers on his right hand. What gives this tale a heroic edge is not just Fleisher's triumphant return to the performance stage at age 66, but the fact that, during the 30-year interval while he grappled with "two fingers that wanted to make a fist all the time," he refashioned himself, channeling his gargantuan interpretive gifts into becoming an accomplished conductor, arts administrator and teacher. He also gained renown as a specialist in left-handed repertoire, performing Ravel's Piano Concerto for the Left Hand so often and well that Musical America named him 1994 Instrumentalist of the Year, two years before his right hand regained most of its former form. Though Fleisher provides an undoubtedly feel-good account, he also cautions readers. "If my story is about anything, it's about being very careful when your dreams come true," he writes, and he isn't afraid to plumb darker moments, nor lightly gloss wayward attempts to overcome the emotional trauma resulting from sudden handicap. Fleisher's humility and copious anecdotes involving many 20th-century musical lions, such as Schnabel, Klemperer, Szell and Bernstein, combine for a truly winning read. Inspirational, enlightening and, above all, enjoyable-a revealing window into the private world of consummate music making. ADVANCE PRAISE FOR MY NINE LIVES: "Leon Fleisher, one of our most prodigiously talented musicians, has lived a very rich human life-many lives-reinventing himself, after a career-ending injury, as a teacher and conductor, before ultimately returning to performance. His book, like the man himself, is warm, witty, honest, and wise-and full of vivid portraits of the world of professional musicians. A bravura performance." -Oliver Sacks, M.D. "Leon Fleisher's My Nine Lives is a modern-day musical 'Odyssey'. His recounting of a fascinating life is told with great candor and philosophical wit. Musicians, of course, will gobble up this memoir from a legendary pianist; non-musicians will be enthralled by these adventures in both the outer and inner worlds of a great man. In short: a wonderful retelling of a truly epic life." -AndrÉ Watts "Leon Fleisher is a giant among musicians. His memoir recounts the joys and sorrows of a most eventful life with the same characteristics as his playing unflinching honesty, a probing intellect, and a very great generosity of spirit. This is a book to cherish, offering much wisdom to the reader. Read it and listen." - Ara Guzelimian, Provost and Dean of The Juilliard School "A remarkable story, beautifully told. I think it will fascinate anyone interested in a life (or nine) lived to the hilt, from the highest peaks to the deepest valleys and hallelujah! back up again. It's a great read: inspirational, cliff-hanging, informative, funny, horrific.

More important, though, he shares a life led near the epicenter of the musical world for more than six decades, starting with his Carnegie Hall debut in 1944 at age 16 and including lessons with piano eminence Artur Schnabel, a fruitful musical relationship with conductor George Szell, associations with the great pianists of the day, conducting, teaching, and his performance approaches to signal works in the canon, which are thoughtfully handled in “Master Classâ€� subsections.
