58-year-old Canadian violinist Angèle Dubeau has announced that she will no longer be able to play the violin. She says: « My right hand, more precisely my index finger, master of the bow, has lost its sensitivity and is in a permanent state of numbness. You have to understand that I’ve been pressing, with pressure and precision, on the same spot for 58 years. The nerve is therefore frayed and crushed. »
