Rudolf Buchbinder grew up in a house with a piano -- despite the fact that no one in his family played music. But that piano became a source of inspiration for Buchbinder, who has grown up to have a tremendous career as a pianist. On Tuesday's Performance Today, we'll hear him play music by Beethoven.
