RIP.
I don’t know much about Weissenberg, but Wikipedia says he took a decade off at the height of his career to study and teach. Like Horowitz and Gould (Gould took a permanent vacation, more or less). Classical pianists of this sort seem to me to be a breed apart. The pianist in Summit is based on my research into these guys.
