#Left Handers Day

[deebrisbyfish]

Hey, check it out! An EXTRA strip this week in celebration of International Left Hander's Day! As I was drawing this, I actually DID Google real-life left-handed folks and found out that a LOT of Simpsons characters are lefties because the show's creator, Matt Groening is as well. For the strip, I decided to stick with the idea that the first "people" that I thought of were fictional characters, and ran with it for fun. The three names listed here are really the first three names that popped into my mind while writing this. lol

It's Left-Handers Day Around The World - Blaugust - #LeftHandersDay

International Left-Handers Day is an international day observed annually on August 13 to celebrate the uniqueness and differences of left-handed individuals. Being left-handed can be difficult in a world designed primarily by right-handed humans. Studies suggest that approximately 10% of people are left-handed. I am proud to say that I am very left-handed. Special people are born blessed with…

Happy International Left Handers Day! Mayhap a Musical Delight for Your Fancy?

Sinistrals of the world, unite! (Dextral and "ambi"dextral swine, pay homage forthwith!)

To celebrate International Left Handers Day, August 13, I present you one of my favorite musical performances EVER! This is Ravel's "Piano Concerto for the Left Hand," which he composed for a fellow pianist who lost his right arm in World War I (a concept lovingly reproduced on M*A*S*H. many years later). The piano part features no right-hand play at all.

And I refer here not only to Ravel's composition but to this specific performance of it.

The pianist is Hélène Tysman, who completed her graduate work with this brilliancy, with Nicolás Pasquet conducting the Orchestra of the University of Music Franz Liszt Weimar on December 8, 2011 at the Weimarhalle, Weimar. Outstanding orchestration as well; I love the attentiveness of the concertmaster throughout the performance.

This video is a ticket redeemable for 20 minutes in a better world, but I absolutely insist you give it your undivided attention, or don't watch at all. The subtleties of Ravel and the triumphs of this performance are not suited to background music. (Yes I am being gatekeepy today. Go cut onions with your infernal right-handed scissors and cry me a river.)

CAPTION: Video performance on YouTube of Hélène Tysman performing Ravel's "Piano Concerto for the Left Hand."

On behalf of myself and all left-handers in the Universe, and Silence Terlais, to Cherry Ilyapa, to Afiach Bard, and many other left-handed luminaries in the Joshalonian legendarium, here's to the greatest hand in the world: the LEFT Hand! And to the people who work through this hand with all masterfulness.

Today, August 13, is International Left Handers Day! Did you know Vince Clarke is left-handed? Swipe to see some clippings and tweets where this fact comes up! According to the website for Left Handers Day, “Apart from the general creativity of left-handers, the left-handed brain is at the centre of both the sense of rhythm and the perception of pitch, which helps to explain why so many successful composers and musicians are left-handed.” Interestingly, Vince still plays the guitar right-handed.
