     I remember a story (or novel?) in which the central character who, for
reasons I no longer remember, was able to function in each half of his brain
independently.  He was, at least publicly, a concert pianist, renowned 
for his ability to play a fantastically difficult concerto ("Emperor" by
Beethoven, I think) exactly the way it was written.  As I recall, he was
also involved in some kind of spy or detective work.
     This is all I remember.  Don't know where I saw it or when, or who the
author was.  Anyone?
