Piano Concerto for the Left Hand (Ravel)
28 October 2020
Warning: Spoilers
When I saw this episode long before Google was invented, I wondered if the story of the Piano Concerto for the Left Hand (Ravel) was true. It's true! What would we do without Google?

Winchester shows his compassion by encouraging a soldier-pianist to continue with his piano playing. Winchester gets his hands on the sheet music for Piano Concerto for the Left Hand (Ravel), commissioned by Austrian pianist Paul Wittgenstein, who lost his right arm during World War I (the war to end all wars).

It's very hard to imagine Frank Burns doing the same. You can imagine him harping "Suck it up soldier, I don't have time for cowards. I'd rather be on the front line instead of pandering to weak-willed fools like yourself. Next!!!"

Also Klinger saves the day by helping out Hawkeye and BJ with a surprise crab beach party.
