According to snopes.com, the urban legends web site, the story is not
true.  

But so what?  It's a great story and it's very inspirational.  And
Itzhak Perlman is certainly an inspirational musician.  And assuming
for the moment that the story is fiction, it is a testament to
Perlman's character and accomplishments that he was chosen as the
subject of the story.

And underneath it all is the understanding that true artists often
happily embrace limitations.
