Olympia's website lists among its new releases piano music of Vorisek and
Tomasek, and advises:

   "This unique recording will feature the first ever fortepiano
   built for left-handed performers."

Could someone please explain why a fortepiano built for left-handed
performers is, apparently, such a good idea.  At first blush, it sounds
like something invented by the man who used to - and possibly still does -
sell people the Brooklyn Bridge.
