Monday Motivation: Pretty Pieces are (more than) Okay

“Do not let what you can’t do interfere with what you can do.”
-John Wooden

Sometimes simple, pretty music is awesome. I’m constantly reminded of that. Today we feature Jerome Ducharme (featured before here, I think) playing Barrios’ prelude in C minor. Ducharme, in addition to being a great performer, is also a really good teacher. I did a masterclass with him a few years ago — great guy, really thoughtful, mildly terrifying (all the qualities of a good teacher!).
