ALS hastası ünlüler / Dmitri Shostakovich (1906-1975)

Dmitri Shostakovich (1906-1975) Yirminci Yüzyıl'ın en büyük bestecilerinden biridir. 1950'lerin sonlarına doğru uzuvlarında ilerleyici asimetrik kas güçsüzlüğü yaşadı ve nihayetinde motor nöron hastalığı teşhisi kondu.
André Rieu bu öyküyü bilir mi bilmiyorum ama Shostakovich 2. Valsi ile gönüllerde yaşıyor.
