Source: "Numbness in her fingertips was among the early symptoms of a debilitating condition that robbed Jacqueline du Pré of the ability to play the cello and cut short her life. Now, more than three decades after the virtuoso musician’s death aged 42 from multiple sclerosis, she has inspired a production by the Royal Ballet." ([1])
