After he lost control of his right hand, he gave the UK premiere of Korngold's Piano Concerto for the left hand in 1985, and had seven left-hand works commissioned for him. He became a teacher, and later director and president, of the Curtis Institute of Music in Philadelphia where he had studied as a boy."
