In the fall of 2018, the pianist Nicolas Hodges noticed his body shaking. The doctor said it was probably stress, but recommended that he make an appointment with a neurologist. Dr. Klaus Schreiber, a neurologist and a classical music lover, observed Hodges performing a few minor physical tasks — walking across a room, undressing and dressing — before he sent him for a series of tests that confirmed Hodges had Parkinson’s disease. Dr. Schreiber estimated that Hodges had been performing with Parkinson’s for three years. Hodges, 53, is a leading interpreter of contemporary classical music.
