"Musical talent in Western culture is regarded as an extraordinary
combination of technical proficiency and interpretative sensitivity. In
Music, Disability, and Society, Alex Lubet challenges the rigid view of
technical skill and writes about music in relation to disability studies.
He addresses the ways in which people with disabilities are denied the
opportunity to participate in music.
Elaborating on the theory of "social confluence," Lubet provides a variety
of encounters between disability and music to observe radical
transformations of identity. Considering hand-injured and one-handed
pianists; the impairments of jazz luminaries Django Reinhardt, Horace
Parlan, and "Little" Jimmy Scott; and the "Blind Orchestra" of Cairo, he
shows how the cultural world of classical music contrasts sharply with
that of jazz and how musicality itself is regarded a disability in some
religious contexts. Music, Disability, and Society also explains how
language difference can become a disability for Asian students in American
schools of music, limiting their education and careers."

However Lubet painfully discovered that classical musichis own field, and
the idiom that pervades academic musical training harshly judged physical
conditions like his. That judgment was never explicitly rendered, but such
a declaration was also unnecessary because musicians all knew well the
expectations of the culture of classical music, he argues.
The author noticed that, oddly, the performing-musician colleagues who
judged him often had crippling or painful conditions, themselves,
limitations that, though of minor consequence in other fields, were
devastating in classical music. He began to develop a theory of music and
disabilitynot only about the ways people with disabilities are denied
opportunities to participate in music, but about what their experiences
suggest about how cultures create and sustain notions of disability.
The book builds his theory in steps, beginning with an account of several
one-handed classical pianists, particularly ones who suffered hand
injuries that radically altered their playing abilities. Lubet then
describes several physically disabled jazz musicians, particularly
Reinhardt, who overcame severe finger injuries by developing idiosyncratic
but highly advanced playing techniques.
